Composer FAQ

How do I find my remote skill manifest URL?

A skill manifest is a JSON file that describes the actions the skill can perform. A remote skill will expose a skill manifest URL so that the skill can be shared outside the Composer environment. To find the skill manifest URL of your remote skill, follow these steps:

Note

The following instructions apply to a remote skill in Azure. Make sure your skill is published to Azure.

  1. Navigate to your Azure portal and select the App Service resource associated with the published skill.

    app service

  2. On the App service menu on the left, select App Service Editor (Preview) from the Development Tools section.

    app service editor

    Note

    The App Service Editor (Preview) is a tool of Microsoft Azure. It provides a web-based editor to Azure Web App.

  3. From the App Service Editor (Preview) page, select Go ->

    app service editor go

  4. From the App Service Editor's EXPLORE pane, select the file name of your skill's manifest in the manifest folder.

    This will open the remote skill manifest with a URL like this: https://composer-skill.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev/wwwroot/ComposerDialogs/manifests/echo-remote-Skill-2-1-preview-1-manifest.json. This is NOT your skill manifest URL.

    You should update the URL to the following format: https://composer-skill.azurewebsites.net/manifests/echo-remote-Skill-2-1-preview-1-manifest.json. This is the skill manifest URL of your published skill.
