# Semantic Kernel
|
|
|
|
Use this skill when working with applications, plugins, function-calling flows, or AI integrations built on Semantic Kernel.
|
|
|
|
Always ground implementation advice in the latest Semantic Kernel documentation and samples rather than memory alone.
|
|
|
|
## Determine the target language first
|
|
|
|
Choose the language workflow before making recommendations or code changes:
|
|
|
|
1. Use the **.NET** workflow when the repository contains `.cs`, `.csproj`, `.sln`, or other .NET project files, or when the user explicitly asks for C# or .NET guidance. Follow [references/dotnet.md](references/dotnet.md).
|
|
2. Use the **Python** workflow when the repository contains `.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, or the user explicitly asks for Python guidance. Follow [references/python.md](references/python.md).
|
|
3. If the repository contains both ecosystems, match the language used by the files being edited or the user's stated target.
|
|
4. If the language is ambiguous, inspect the current workspace first and then choose the closest language-specific reference.
|
|
|
|
## Always consult live documentation
|
|
|
|
- Read the Semantic Kernel overview first: <https://learn.microsoft.com/semantic-kernel/overview/>
|
|
- Prefer official docs and samples for the current API surface.
|
|
- Use the Microsoft Docs MCP tooling when available to fetch up-to-date framework guidance and examples.
|
|
|
|
## Shared guidance
|
|
|
|
When working with Semantic Kernel in any language:
|
|
|
|
- Use async patterns for kernel operations.
|
|
- Follow official plugin and function-calling patterns.
|
|
- Implement explicit error handling and logging.
|
|
- Prefer strong typing, clear abstractions, and maintainable composition patterns.
|
|
- Use built-in connectors for Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, and other AI services, while preferring Azure AI Foundry services for new projects when that fits the task.
|
|
- Use the kernel's memory and context-management capabilities when they simplify the solution.
|
|
- Use `DefaultAzureCredential` when Azure authentication is appropriate.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Determine the target language and read the matching reference file.
|
|
2. Fetch the latest official docs and samples before making implementation choices.
|
|
3. Apply the shared Semantic Kernel guidance from this skill.
|
|
4. Use the language-specific package, repository, sample paths, and coding practices from the chosen reference.
|
|
5. When examples in the repo differ from current docs, explain the difference and follow the current supported pattern.
|
|
|
|
## References
|
|
|
|
- [.NET reference](references/dotnet.md)
|
|
- [Python reference](references/python.md)
|
|
|
|
## Completion criteria
|
|
|
|
- Recommendations match the target language.
|
|
- Package names, repository paths, and sample locations match the selected ecosystem.
|
|
- Guidance reflects current Semantic Kernel documentation rather than stale assumptions.
