Azure Functions skill for help

When you need to know which Azure Functions skill to use, the azure-functions-help skill identifies the installed skill that best matches your immediate goal.

Skill: azure-functions-help | Source code

Important

Azure Functions skills and the @azure/functions-skills package are in preview. Features and supported workflows can change before general availability. For current release information, see the @azure/functions-skills package.

What it provides

This routing skill inspects the Azure Functions skills available to your coding agent, recommends up to three relevant skills with a reason for each choice, and directs your request to the best match. It discovers the current installed set instead of relying on a static catalog.

The migration skills are exceptions to automatic routing. To use azure-functions-update or azure-functions-hosted-skills-migrate, explicitly name the skill and ask to use it. Help can recommend either skill, but it does not start migration automatically. A question or quoted name does not start a run.

Prerequisites

  • Azure Functions skills installed in a supported coding agent.
  • An Azure Functions goal, such as setting up an environment, creating a project, deploying an app, or diagnosing a problem.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you:

  • Don't know which Azure Functions skill to use.
  • Want to discover the Azure Functions workflows available to your coding agent.
  • Need a starting point for an existing function app or a new project.
  • Want to distinguish setup, creation, deployment, monitoring, and diagnostic workflows.

Don't use this skill for generic Azure work that doesn't involve Azure Functions, function apps, triggers, bindings, host.json, or Functions deployment and runtime behavior. Use Azure Skills for broader Azure workflows.

Example prompts

Try these prompts to activate this skill:

  • "Which Azure Functions skill should I use for this project?"
  • "What can Azure Functions skills help me do?"
  • "Where should I start with my existing function app?"
  • "Should I use setup, create, or deploy for this task?"
  • "Help me choose a workflow to troubleshoot my function app."
