Find Package Skill

Some SDK packages in this monorepo have package-specific skills — tribal

knowledge (architecture, data flows, type mappings, pitfalls) that prevents

common mistakes. Before modifying any SDK package, check whether a skill exists

for it using the steps below.

How to Discover Package Skills

  • Determine the package directory. If you already know the file path you're

modifying, extract the package directory from it (e.g., a file at

sdk/search/search-documents/src/searchClient.ts belongs to the package at

sdk/search/search-documents/). If you only have a package name, search for a

matching directory under sdk/ (package directories are named after the

unscoped package name, e.g. @azure/search-documents →

sdk/search/search-documents/).

  • Check for a .github/skills/ directory inside the package directory. For

example, check whether sdk/search/search-documents/.github/skills/ exists.

  • If it exists, read every SKILL.md found under that directory. If a

references/ subdirectory exists next to a SKILL.md, read all files in it

too for additional context.

  • If no .github/skills/ directory exists for the package, no

package-specific skill has been created yet — proceed normally.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take azure/find-package-skill from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
