Covers decision making, and architecture & design patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.\n\n## How to Use This Skill\n\n> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file\n\n> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)\n\nThis skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:\n- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.\n- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.\n\n## Category Index\n\n| Category | Lines | Description |\n|----------|-------|-------------|\n| Decision Making | L30-L34 | Guidance on choosing Azure regions and bare metal SKUs
