The nine contributor skills split across both halves of the monorepo: build-and-test and verify-dotnet-samples cover building and running the .NET side, project-structure explains the solution layout, and pull-requests covers writing a PR description and handling review comments. The Python half gets five of its own -- python-development, python-code-quality, python-testing, python-feature-lifecycle and python-package-management -- covering coding standards, linting, tests, moving an API between lifecycle stages, and creating or versioning a connector package.

The other seven are not written to be used for anything real. length-converter, unit-converter and volume-converter each convert between units with a multiplication factor, and python-samples' own description is word-for-word the same as unit-converter's -- "Convert between common units using a multiplication factor. Use when asked to convert miles, kilometers, pounds, or kilograms." -- so it reads as the same demo counted twice rather than a fourth distinct skill. regex-tester validates a pattern against sample input, and escalation-policy and support-style set the tone and escalation rules for a fictional company, "Contoso Outdoors" -- tutorial placeholders, not guidance for an actual business.

READ THE FULL ANALYSIS

One of the seventeen ships with no description and so is invisible to anything that reads frontmatter to decide what a skill does; it exists in the live count but we have nothing to say about it.

The README doesn't mention skills. Microsoft's own description of the framework covers Python and .NET agent orchestration, providers, middleware and Foundry-hosted deployment; none of that touches this directory, which we found by reading the repository tree.

Who this is for. Someone opening a pull request against microsoft/agent-framework gets nine real, specific skills. Someone who came here to build an agent with the framework gets a regex tester, three unit converters and a demo support bot -- none of the seventeen actually help you write or debug an agent workflow.
