Expert knowledge for Azure Firmware Analysis development including best practices, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when configuring RBAC/service principals, uploading firmware via CLI/PowerShell/Python, mapping results to Device Registry, reading SBOM paths, or deploying workspaces with ARM/Bicep/Terraform, and other Azure Firmware Analysis related development tasks. Not for Azure Defender For Iot (use azure-defender-for-iot), Azure IoT Edge (use azure-iot-edge), Azure IoT Hub (use azure-iot-hub), Azure Confidential Computing (use azure-confidential-computing).
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Firmware Analysis. Covers best practices, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
How to Use This Skill
IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.
