Guidance and best-practices for instrumenting webapps with Azure Application Insights, including SDK setup, telemetry patterns and platform-specific examples.
Provides comprehensive guidance for instrumenting applications with Azure Application Insights: when to auto-instrument, how to set up SDKs, telemetry patterns, and platform-specific examples for ASP.NET Core, Node.js, and Python. It is research/reference-focused and defers actual code changes to orchestration skills.
Invoke this skill when a user asks how to add telemetry, needs SDK configuration help, or wants conceptual guidance about Application Insights. Do NOT use it to make code changes — call azure-prepare or orchestration skills for that.
Useful for agents that can read project code and provide guidance (Copilot/Gemma/Code assistants, Azure-oriented agents).
Microsoft-authored guidance skill for Azure Application Insights instrumentation. SKILL.md is well-structured with clear triggers, prerequisites, and step-by-step instructions for ASP.NET Core and Node.js apps. The bundled PowerShell script contains Azure CLI commands for resource provisioning — no error handling or validation, just sequential commands with variable placeholders. Script was skipped during testing (.ps1 not executable in Linux sandbox).
Clean, Microsoft-official skill. No security concerns. Script is documentation-style Azure CLI commands rather than a robust automation script. Would benefit from error handling and parameter validation.
