FluidFramework

Use when the user explicitly asks for a CI check or to push their branch — e.g. "ci readiness", "check ci", "pre-push check", "ready for CI", "ci check", "ready to push", "push my changes", "push the branch", "let's push". Catches common CI failures before pushing — formatting, stale API reports, missing changesets, policy violations.

Fluid Framework client release group — minor releases, patch releases, and post-release type test updates. Covers release prep, branching, version bumps, changelogs, release notes, and type test baselines. In autonomous mode, auto-detects state from the schedule and repo, attempts to execute, and falls back to a GitHub issue on failure. Triggers on "release", "do the release", "release status", version bump, release notes, changelog, release branch, or release engineering.

IMMEDIATELY USE THIS SKILL when creating or develop anything and before writing code or implementation plans - refines rough ideas into fully-formed designs through structured Socratic questioning, alternative exploration, and incremental validation

Use when implementing user interfaces or user experiences - guides through exploration of design variations, frontend setup, iteration, and proper integration

Use this skill when faced with a difficult debugging task where you need to replicate some bug or behavior in order to see what is going wrong.

Use when you need to create a new custom skill for a profile - guides through gathering requirements, creating directory structure, writing SKILL.md, and optionally adding bundled scripts

Use this when you have completed some feature implementation and have written passing tests, and you are ready to create a PR.

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

ALWAYS load this skill if it is not already loaded, for ANY user query or conversation - establishes the Nori workflow, protected-branch check, operating mode, tone, and coding guidelines before any other work

Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes - four-phase framework (root cause investigation, pattern analysis, hypothesis testing, implementation) that ensures understanding before attempting solutions

Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code - write the test first, watch it fail, write minimal code to pass; ensures tests actually verify behavior by requiring failure first

Use this when you have finished making code changes and you are ready to update the documentation based on those changes.

Use this whenever you need to create an isolated workspace.

Use this to capture screen context.

Describes how to use abilities. Read before any conversation.

Use when design is complete and you need detailed implementation tasks for engineers with zero codebase context - creates comprehensive implementation plans with exact file paths, complete code examples, and verification steps assuming engineer has minimal domain knowledge

Use when customer-facing API changes were made — i.e., API report .md files differ from main. Guides through release tag assignment, API Council review requirements, breaking change classification, deprecation process, and changeset guidance. Triggered automatically by ci-readiness-check when api-report diffs are detected.

Use when creating a pull request in the Fluid Framework repo. Composes a PR title and body following Fluid Framework conventions, proposes them to the user, then pushes the branch and creates the PR on GitHub. Triggers on "create a PR", "make a PR", "open a PR", "submit a PR", or "push and create a PR".

Use when asked to review code, review a branch, or do a code review. Spawns Breaker (correctness) and API Analyst (compatibility/conventions) sub-agents while the orchestrator reviews architecture, tests, performance, and security.

Use when composing, writing, drafting, or reviewing a PR title, PR description, or PR body in Fluid Framework — provides title style, body template, and section guidance.

Trigger ADO pipelines for a Copilot-created PR by posting /azp run comments. Use when the user asks to trigger CI pipelines for a specific PR.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "run policy check", "check policy", "policy-check", or needs to validate package compliance. Provides guidance on running policy checks for specific packages or the entire repository.
