name	azure-chaos-studio
description	Expert knowledge for Chaos Studio development including troubleshooting, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when designing Chaos experiments, configuring agents/targets, securing access, using REST/CLI, or wiring telemetry, and other Chaos Studio related development tasks. Not for Azure Monitor (use azure-monitor), Azure Resiliency (use azure-resiliency), Azure Reliability (use azure-reliability), Azure Site Recovery (use azure-site-recovery).
compatibility	Requires network access. Uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or WebFetch to retrieve documentation.
user-invocable	false

Chaos Studio Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Chaos Studio. Covers troubleshooting, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

• Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch. Returns Markdown.
• Fallback: Use WebFetch. Returns Markdown.
