SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing multi-agent systems and platform solutions on Microsoft Foundry requires up-to-date knowledge of rapidly changing APIs, GA vs. Preview feature status, and governance rules. This Skill provides operational playbooks that enforce verified, production-aware specifications instead of unconfirmed claims. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Agent Spec Template: Produces structured specifications for Foundry multi-agent systems covering agent inventory, Connected Agents (A2A) orchestration patterns, and tool assignments. - Platform Playbook: Guides the five-stage lifecycle of model catalog exploration, prototyping, customization, evaluation, and deployment, including RAG retrieval types, Prompt Flow DAGs, and evaluation metric thresholds. - Governance & Verification: Enforces a governance checklist (PII handling, advisory mode, audit trails) and mandates context7/tavily confirmation before asserting SDK names, model availability, or GA/Preview status. - Use Case: When asked to design a RAG solution on Foundry, the Skill produces a spec declaring the retrieval type, ingestion connectors, an evaluation plan with groundedness/relevance thresholds, and flags any unverified claims as "⚠️ verificar". ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a Microsoft Foundry multi-agent specification for your use case, and it will apply the spec template, governance checklist, and API verification rules before writing any claims.

Frequently Asked Questions about foundry-engineer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a multi-agent specification for Microsoft Foundry?▼

Use the agent spec template covering objective and scope, agent inventory with roles and tools, orchestration pattern selection (Connected Agents, Workflows, or Agent Framework), GA vs. Preview status audit, and governance mode. Model names stay as "to be defined" until verified against the current catalog.

What orchestration patterns does Microsoft Foundry support for multi-agent systems?▼

The spec template covers Connected Agents (A2A), Multi-agent Workflows, and Microsoft Agent Framework patterns including sequential, concurrent, handoff, group-chat, and Magentic-One. Selection is justified using the decision tree in the multi-agent patterns knowledge base.

How should RAG solutions be specified for Azure AI Search?▼

A production RAG spec must explicitly declare the retrieval type (vector, keyword, hybrid, or agentic) and the ingestion connectors such as SharePoint, Blob, or Cosmos. Writing "RAG" alone is never sufficient for a production specification.

When must Foundry API claims be verified with context7 or tavily?▼

Verification is mandatory before asserting any pip/npm package name, SDK class or method, concrete model name, GA versus Public Preview status, evaluation or Prompt Flow API names, or pricing claims. Unconfirmed facts are marked "⚠️ verificar" instead of stated categorically.

What governance checks apply before recommending production deployment?▼

The checklist requires no literal personal data without governance-auditor review, advisory/read-only mode by default, a declared audit trail, and an explicit evaluation plan with quality and safety thresholds. Nothing is recommended as production-ready without that evaluation plan.

Does this Skill analyze task trees or backlogs?▼

No. Task tree, backlog, and WBS analysis is explicitly out of scope and delegated to the task-architect skill. This Skill covers only Foundry agent specifications and platform playbooks.
