What problem does it solve? It removes the guesswork from taking a Microsoft Foundry hosted agent through its full lifecycle: running locally, deploying to Foundry, and completing the Microsoft 365 Copilot/Teams publish-and-hire check, with approval gates before any live work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Castia-based scaffolding: Creates a Python hosted agent with main.py, .env.example, azure.yaml, and baseline agent configs using the Castia SDK by default. - Three-stage verification flow: Walks through Local (uv run, /readiness, /responses smoke tests), Foundry (azd provision/deploy with recovery guidance), and Teams (publish, approve, hire) gates. - Approval boundaries: Never automates tenant permission changes, Teams installation, or admin approval; it guides the user through those steps instead. - Use Case: You have a Foundry project with a deployed model and want to ship a hosted agent to Teams. This Skill scaffolds the agent, verifies it locally, deploys it with azd, and walks you through the Teams publish-and-hire check. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build and verify the local to Foundry to Teams story flow for a new Castia-based hosted agent in this repo.
