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

Overview

Build enterprise agents for Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot Studio using the Microsoft.Agents SDK with ASP.NET Core hosting, agent routing, and MSAL-based authentication.

Upstream passage · L14 ↗

Before implementation

Use the microsoft-docs MCP to verify the latest APIs for AddAgent, AgentApplication, and authentication options. Confirm package versions in NuGet for the Microsoft.Agents.\* packages you plan to use.

Upstream passage · L18 ↗

Best Practices

Use AgentApplication subclasses to centralize routing and error handling. Use MemoryStorage only for development; use persisted storage in production.

Upstream passage · L268 ↗

Requirements and setup

Upstream passage · bash ↗

dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.Hosting.AspNetCore
dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.Authentication.Msal
dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.Storage

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.
