Instrument a webapp to send useful telemetry data to Azure App Insights
Performs comprehensive preflight validation of Bicep deployments to Azure, including template syntax validation, what-if analysis, and permission checks. Use this skill before any deployment to Azure to preview changes, identify potential issues, and ensure the deployment will succeed. Activate when users mention deploying to Azure, validating Bicep files, checking deployment permissions, previewing infrastructure changes, running what-if, or preparing for azd provision.
Manage Azure DevOps resources via CLI including projects, repos, pipelines, builds, pull requests, work items, artifacts, and service endpoints. Use when working with Azure DevOps, az commands, devops automation, CI/CD, or when user mentions Azure DevOps CLI.
Analyze Azure resource groups and generate detailed Mermaid architecture diagrams showing the relationships between individual resources. Use this skill when the user asks for a diagram of their Azure resources or help in understanding how the resources relate to each other.
When user is asking for guidance for which role to assign to an identity given desired permissions, this agent helps them understand the role that will meet the requirements with least privilege access and how to apply that role.
Helps create, configure, and deploy Azure Static Web Apps using the SWA CLI. Use when deploying static sites to Azure, setting up SWA local development, configuring staticwebapp.config.json, adding Azure Functions APIs to SWA, or setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD for Static Web Apps.

| description | Ready-to-use prompts for comprehensive .NET framework upgrade analysis and execution |
name: "Project Classification Analysis"
prompt: "Identify all projects in the solution and classify them by type (.NET Framework, .NET Core, .NET Standard). Analyze each .csproj for its current TargetFramework and SDK usage."
name: "Dependency Compatibility Review" prompt: "Review external and internal dependencies for framework compatibility. Determine the upgrade complexity based on dependency graph depth."
name: "Legacy Package Detection"
prompt: "Identify legacy packages.config projects needing migration to PackageReference format."
name: "Project Upgrade Ordering" prompt: "Recommend a project upgrade order from least to most dependent components. Suggest how to isolate class library upgrades before API or Azure Function migrations."
name: "Incremental Strategy Planning" prompt: "Propose an incremental upgrade strategy with rollback checkpoints. Evaluate the use of Upgrade Assistant or manual upgrades based on project structure."
name: "Progress Tracking Setup" prompt: "Generate an upgrade checklist for tracking build, test, and deployment readiness across all projects."
name: "Target Framework Selection"
prompt: "Suggest the correct TargetFramework for each project (e.g., net8.0). Review and update deprecated SDK or build configurations."
name: "Code Modernization Analysis"
prompt: "Identify code patterns needing modernization (e.g., WebHostBuilder → HostBuilder). Suggest replacements for deprecated .NET APIs and third-party libraries."
name: "Async Pattern Conversion" prompt: "Recommend conversion of synchronous calls to async where appropriate for improved performance and scalability."
name: "Package Compatibility Analysis" prompt: "Analyze outdated or incompatible NuGet packages and suggest compatible versions. Identify third-party libraries that lack .NET 8 support and provide migration paths."
name: "Shared Dependency Strategy" prompt: "Recommend strategies for handling shared dependency upgrades across projects. Evaluate usage of legacy packages and suggest alternatives in Microsoft-supported namespaces."
name: "Transitive Dependency Review" prompt: "Review transitive dependencies and potential version conflicts after upgrade. Suggest resolution strategies for dependency conflicts."
name: "Pipeline Configuration Analysis"
prompt: "Analyze YAML build definitions for SDK version pinning and recommend updates. Suggest modifications for UseDotNet@2 and NuGetToolInstaller tasks."
name: "Build Pipeline Modernization" prompt: "Generate updated build pipeline snippets for .NET 8 migration. Recommend validation builds on feature branches before merging to main."
name: "CI Automation Enhancement" prompt: "Identify opportunities to automate test and build verification in CI pipelines. Suggest strategies for continuous integration validation."
name: "Build Validation Strategy" prompt: "Propose validation checks to ensure the upgraded solution builds and runs successfully. Recommend automated test execution for unit and integration suites post-upgrade."
name: "Service Integration Verification" prompt: "Generate validation steps to verify logging, telemetry, and service connectivity. Suggest strategies for verifying backward compatibility and runtime behavior."
name: "Deployment Readiness Check" prompt: "Recommend UAT deployment verification steps before production rollout. Create comprehensive testing scenarios for upgraded components."
name: "API Deprecation Detection"
prompt: "Identify deprecated APIs or removed namespaces between target versions. Suggest automated scanning using .NET Upgrade Assistant and API Analyzer."
name: "API Replacement Strategy"
prompt: "Recommend replacement APIs or libraries for known breaking areas. Review configuration changes such as Startup.cs → Program.cs refactoring."
name: "Regression Testing Focus" prompt: "Suggest regression testing scenarios focused on upgraded API endpoints or services. Create test plans for critical functionality validation."
name: "Branching Strategy Planning" prompt: "Recommend branching strategy for safe upgrade with rollback capability. Generate commit templates for partial and complete project upgrades."
name: "PR Structure Optimization"
prompt: "Suggest best practices for creating structured PRs (Upgrade to .NET [Version]). Identify tagging strategies for PRs involving breaking changes."
name: "Code Review Guidelines" prompt: "Recommend peer review focus areas (build, test, and dependency validation). Create checklists for effective upgrade reviews."
name: "Upgrade Documentation Strategy" prompt: "Suggest how to document each project's framework change in the PR. Propose automated release note generation summarizing upgrades and test results."
name: "Stakeholder Communication" prompt: "Recommend communicating version upgrades and migration timelines to consumers. Generate documentation templates for dependency updates and validation results."
name: "Progress Tracking Systems" prompt: "Suggest maintaining an upgrade summary dashboard or markdown checklist. Create templates for tracking upgrade progress across multiple projects."
name: "Upgrade Tool Selection"
prompt: "Recommend when and how to use: .NET Upgrade Assistant, dotnet list package --outdated, dotnet migrate, and graph.json dependency visualization."
name: "Analysis Script Generation" prompt: "Generate scripts or prompts for analyzing dependency graphs before upgrading. Propose AI-assisted prompts for Copilot to identify upgrade issues automatically."
name: "Multi-Repository Validation" prompt: "Suggest how to validate automation output across multiple repositories. Create standardized validation workflows for enterprise-scale upgrades."
name: "Final Solution Validation" prompt: "Generate validation steps to confirm the final upgraded solution passes all validation checks. Suggest production deployment verification steps post-upgrade."
name: "Deployment Readiness Confirmation" prompt: "Recommend generating final test results and build artifacts. Create a checklist summarizing completion across projects (builds/tests/deployment)."
name: "Release Documentation" prompt: "Generate a release note summarizing framework changes and CI/CD updates. Create comprehensive upgrade summary documentation."
