Individual skill

foundry-agentic-loop

Build agentic solutions on Microsoft Foundry, GitHub and Azure: hosted agents, toolbox tools and skills, Foundry IQ grounding and a React/FastAPI app. Three modes: rapid prototyping in an existing Foundry project; spec-driven development (SDD), where the foundry-agentic-loop-workflow runs Specify, Implement, Verify and Deploy to create the Foundry project and deploy with azd, or one phase runs alone; and Improve, which refines this skill and the workflow from past runs. Use for Agentic Loop requests and canvas actions, or end-to-end agent solutions from architecture to Azure deployment. Not for isolated Azure administration or unrelated UI edits.

# Foundry Agentic Loop

Coordinate the solution and use `microsoft-foundry` for platform operations. Explicit user choices override defaults. Reuse known context, ask only for missing decisions, read only the references a step needs, and report decisions, blockers and endpoints concisely.

## Bootstrap (once per session)

1. **Foundry skill.** If `microsoft-foundry` is unavailable, ask, then install it (`copilot plugin install azure@awesome-copilot`, or `gh skill install microsoft/azure-skills microsoft-foundry --agent github-copilot --scope project`) and reload skills.
2. **Canvas and workflow.** This plugin ships `foundry-agentic-loop-canvas` and `foundry-agentic-loop-workflow`, listed as `foundry-agentic-loop:<name>` or `<name>`. Call `extensions_manage` with `operation: "list"`. Never install extensions from a URL and never edit Copilot settings files. If one is listed under neither name, tell the user which is missing and that it ships with the plugin, then ask before running `copilot plugin install foundry-agentic-loop@awesome-copilot`; after they approve, call `extensions_reload` once. If one is disabled, tell the user to re-enable it in their extension settings and continue in a new session: running sessions keep it disabled, even after a reload. If one failed, `inspect` it and report its log. Without the canvas, continue in Chat; without the workflow, SDD cannot start, so offer rapid prototyping.
3. **Canvas.** When work starts from Chat, open it once: `open_canvas` with `canvasId: "foundry-agentic-loop-canvas"`, `instanceId: "foundry-agentic-loop"` and `input: { mode }`. Prompts that begin `[Agentic Loop canvas action]` come from the canvas; follow their target, approval and resume instructions literally.
