Connectivity TriageUse for any Zava Learning incident where students cannot reach the platform or actions fail at the network/edge layer — quiz launches failing, portal 5xx, requests timing out, or backends appearing unhealthy. Traces the full request path (Application Gateway -> NSG -> Container Apps internal load balancer -> APIs) from telemetry and Azure config, finds the broken hop, and remediates within the permitted-action boundary.microsoft/sre-agent128
Cost AnalysisUse when an operator or a scheduled task requests a periodic cloud-cost / spend audit of the Zava Learning resource group — identify the top cost drivers, week-over-week trend, idle or oversized resources, and concrete savings opportunities. Read-only; produces findings for a report.microsoft/sre-agent128
Deploying DemoDeploy the SRE Agent demo end-to-end. Use when asked to set up, deploy, or get this demo running.microsoft/sre-agent128
Deployment Compliance CheckChecks whether Azure Container App deployments comply with the organization's CI/CD-only deployment policy. Uses three signals: Activity Log caller identity, Docker image labels (tamper-proof), and resource tags. QueryLogAnalyticsByWorkspaceIdmicrosoft/sre-agent128
Evidence Before AfterUse to build the before-and-after visual evidence for a Zava Learning incident. First classify the fault, then render the ONE visual that actually explains what changed — a before/after path or topology diagram for connectivity/config/RBAC faults, or time-series comparison charts for performance/availability faults — plus a state/metric delta table. Never plot a metric that does not tell the story. Its output is used in the RCA and the zava-reporting deliverables.microsoft/sre-agent128
Managing Sre AgentManage Azure SRE Agent configuration for this demo: connectors, skills, response plans, and the knowledge base. Use when asked to create, list, update, or delete SRE Agent resources.microsoft/sre-agent128
Nsg AuditUse when an operator or a scheduled task requests a periodic Network Security Group (NSG) and connectivity-path audit of the Zava Learning resource group — enumerate every NSG and its rules, trace the full path (NSGs, UDRs / route tables, Private Endpoints, DNS, and any firewall), flag overly-permissive, shadowed, unused, or orphaned rules, and recommend least-exposure corrections. Read-only; produces findings for a report.microsoft/sre-agent128
Pagerduty Incident UpdateUse to keep the triggering PagerDuty incident in sync with the investigation and to close it out — acknowledge on engagement, mark the incident Mitigated the moment the live fix lands, post a concise symptom-only status/summary note (diagnosis, mitigation, links to the PR / Change Request), and resolve the incident only after the RCA and summary report are complete and recovery is verified. This is the PagerDuty communication and closure layer for a Zava Learning incident.microsoft/sre-agent128
Performance InvestigationUse for Zava Learning incidents where the platform is reachable but a compute tier is degraded — elevated 5xx from the APIs, slow quiz responses, exceptions, an API with no healthy instances, or a back-office batch job failing on the reporting-worker VM (e.g. nightly grade exports). Diagnoses from Application Insights / Log Analytics / Syslog and remediates the application or worker tier.microsoft/sre-agent128
Pr DeliveryUse to deliver a durable Zava Learning fix as a GitHub pull request once an incident has been root-caused — for either an Infrastructure-as-Code change (Bicep under infra/) or an application code change (under src/). The single skill that creates pull requests; applies after live mitigation and root-cause confirmation. The resulting PR URL is what the ServiceNow Change Request references.microsoft/sre-agent128
Rbac AuditUse when an operator or a scheduled task requests a periodic RBAC / least-privilege audit of the Zava Learning resource group — enumerate the real role assignments effective on the group, correlate each identity against actual Activity-Log usage to find standing access that is never used, flag over-privileged and directly-assigned (versus group-governed) identities and stale troubleshooting access, and recommend least-privilege corrections. Read-only; produces findings for a report.microsoft/sre-agent128
Rca AnalysisUse to produce the root-cause analysis narrative for a resolved or mitigated Zava Learning incident — the incident timeline, the trigger vs. latent root cause (5-Whys), contributing factors, and how to present them. Defines the RCA section format; its output is used in the before/after, recommendations, and reporting deliverables.microsoft/sre-agent128
Recommendations Next StepsUse to produce the forward-looking recommendations and next steps for a Zava Learning incident — prioritized preventive, detective, and process actions with owners, target dates, and the risk of inaction. Its output is used in the zava-reporting deliverables.microsoft/sre-agent128
Redaction GuardUse whenever you are about to emit operator-visible content — a chat/thread message, a PagerDuty or ServiceNow note, a commit message or pull-request body, or any report artifact (HTML, PowerPoint, Teams card). Deterministically masks secrets, credentials, tokens, private keys, URI-embedded passwords, and PII so they never appear in the thread or in any deliverable. This is a cross-cutting guardrail invoked by the output-producing skills, not a runbook step.microsoft/sre-agent128
Running DemoRun break/fix demo scenarios with browser verification. Use when asked to demo, break the app, or show the SRE Agent working.microsoft/sre-agent128
Servicenow Change ManagementUse whenever a Zava Learning investigation produces a durable fix that needs change management — after a GitHub PR is opened for an Infrastructure-as-Code or application code root cause, raise a ServiceNow Change Request referencing the PR and attach the RCA report. The single owner of ServiceNow Change Request and attachment operations.microsoft/sre-agent128
Zava Audit ReportUse to package a completed Zava Learning weekly governance audit (NSG / network security, RBAC / least-privilege, or cloud cost) into a single branded, downloadable PowerPoint deck in the Zava house style. The calling audit agent passes its findings (a list of rows with severity) and a short posture summary; this skill renders the deck, applies redaction, and returns the attachment download link. Produces the artifact; it does not send it.microsoft/sre-agent128
Zava ReportingUse to package a completed Zava Learning incident analysis for the audience. First present a branded in-thread executive summary (markdown with the before/after visuals inline), then produce the downloadable deliverables — a PowerPoint deck, an HTML email, and a Teams notification — using the Zava corporate template. The calling agent may narrow this to a subset (e.g. only the HTML report). Produces content and artifacts; it does not send them. Assembles the output of rca-analysis, evidence-befomicrosoft/sre-agent128
Analyze PromptRuns Chat Customizations Evaluations analysis for the active customization file and summarizes the findings from the Problems panel.microsoft/vscode-chat-customizations-evaluation126
Fix Customization Evaluation DiagnosticsFixes diagnostics reported by the Chat Customizations Evaluations extension on the active prompt file. Reads the current diagnostics from the editor and applies suggested improvements.microsoft/vscode-chat-customizations-evaluation126
KqlKQL language expertise for writing correct, efficient Kusto queries using the Fabric RTI MCP tools. Covers syntax gotchas, join patterns, dynamic types, datetime pitfalls, regex patterns, serialization, memory management, result-size discipline, and advanced functions (geo, vector, graph). USE THIS SKILL whenever writing, debugging, or reviewing KQL queries — even simple ones — because the gotchas section prevents the most common errors that waste tool calls and cause expensive retry cascades.
