SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers locate authoritative Microsoft API documentation, find official working code samples, and verify method signatures and SDK usage to avoid hallucinated methods, wrong signatures, and deprecated patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API lookup: Find classes, methods, overloads, and package names in Microsoft Learn and SDK documentation to confirm correct usage.
  • Working samples: Retrieve tested code examples in languages like C#, Python, and JavaScript for tasks such as uploading blobs, authenticating with managed identity, or sending Service Bus messages.
  • Troubleshooting & validation: Detect mismatched signatures, missing packages, deprecated APIs, and RBAC/auth issues by cross-referencing official docs and sample snippets.

Quick Start

Ask microsoft-code-reference to locate the BlobClient UploadAsync signature and a C# sample for uploading a blob to Azure Storage.
