foundry-models (stub)
Minimal stub — pointer to the upstream microsoft/skills
skill. Install on demand; do not vendor the full body (avoids context rot).
Install the full skill:
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill foundry-models
Maps to: Foundations · Step 2 — Model Selection & the Playground.
Before implementing: use the foundry-mcp MCP server to browse the live model catalog and the
azure MCP server for capacity/quota in your region. Compare model families on cost/latency/quality,
write effective system instructions, then reproduce Playground behavior in code via the Inference SDK.
