SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure AI Bot Service projects often stall due to configuration mistakes, auth/SSO complexity, unclear architectural trade-offs, and hard-to-diagnose runtime failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Troubleshooting & Debugging: Diagnose common failures (HTTP 500s, authentication issues, channel misconfiguration) using transcripts, Emulator, Dev Tunnels, and inspection middleware.
  • Architecture & Design Patterns: Choose the right bot platform/channel approach and implement reusable patterns for dialogs, handoff, knowledge bots, and skill consumer architecture.
  • Security, Limits, and Deployment Guidance: Apply best practices for OAuth/SSO, Direct Line security, encryption/privacy concerns, channel/card support expectations, and reliable Azure provisioning and CI/CD deployment.

Quick Start

Use the azure-bot-service skill to help you select an Azure Bot Service architecture and implement secure OAuth/SSO for a Teams channel bot.
