# Skill Creator Guide for creating skills that extend AI agent capabilities, with emphasis on Azure SDKs and Microsoft Foundry. > **Required Context:** When creating SDK or API skills, users MUST provide the SDK package name, documentation URL, or repository reference for the skill to be based on. ## About Skills Skills are modular knowledge packages that transform general-purpose agents into specialized experts: 1. **Procedural knowledge** — Multi-step workflows for specific domains 2. **SDK expertise** — API patterns, authentication, error handling for Azure services 3. **Domain context** — Schemas, business logic, company-specific patterns 4. **Bundled resources** — Scripts, references, templates for complex tasks --- ## Core Principles ### 1. Concise is Key The context window is a shared resource. Challenge each piece: "Does this justify its token cost?" **For domain/procedural skills**: Agents are already capable. Only add what they don't already know. **For SDK/API skills**: Users MUST provide SDK package name, documentation URL, or repository reference. The skill cannot be created without this context. ### 2. Fresh Documentation First …
