Localized reading guide

foundry-iqPurpose, usage and source

Foundry IQ knowledge bases. WHEN: make local or Blob documents searchable; create/diagnose KBs; triage unsupported connectors or multi-source KB creation/reconfiguration (even with classic-search terms); connect existing KB to agents (including multi-source KBs); create/reuse a Search service; retrieve from an existing knowledge base with citations; no brand words needed. Read its procedure before query/target questions. NOT: other KB providers, repository-file search, classic Azure AI Search index/query/app work with no Foundry IQ KB or connector request, generic agent creation.

The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.

What this Skill does

How the upstream workflow works

Foundry IQ

Read one procedure before questions/actions; invocation is not a read. Read the owning procedure before blocked/unsupported responses too. Before mutation plans/approval, successfully read its required pre-action references, selected branches only. Do not reload successful reads. On failure, try only permitted bounded exact-path reads with any supported reader; never bypass restrictions or search broadly. If still unavailable: blocked: reference-unavailable, name missing references and inability to plan. Never invent requirements/plans. Failures first. Cleanup and receipt-backed execution go directly to their lifecycle/producer owner; do not reopen Search intake, provisioning or hardening.

Limits and quality checks

No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.

Start with a safe trial

Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
