Azure Developer Tools is a home for tools that help developers work with Azure through GitHub Copilot.
Hosted Skills 0.5.3 and Azure Resources Query 0.1.3 are candidates, not tagged releases. Their Agent Plugins packages now include a namespaced canvas extension, preview, and launcher skills. Until their reviewed PR merges and new immutable tags are published, install the previously released versions below. The authoring companion is skill-only, not a running canvas. Marketplace registration and native App installation have not yet been verified.
| Plugin | Type | Production package | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azure Functions Hosted Skills | Canvas with skills | Production package | 0.5.3 candidate; previous 0.5.2 tagged; App installation unverified |
| Azure Resources Query | Canvas with skill | Production package | 0.1.3 candidate; previous 0.1.2 tagged; App installation unverified |
| Canvas Toolkit (Canvas Authoring) | Skill-only plugin; no canvas | Production package | Tagged; App installation unverified |
| Azure Cost Health Check | Canvas with skill | Production package | Immutable tag required; App installation unverified |
| Azure SRE Agent | Planned | — | COMING SOON |
Review the new Hosted Skills 0.5.3 candidate and Azure Resources Query 0.1.3 candidate; these branch links are not immutable install links. For a reproducible released checkout, use the previous Hosted Skills 0.5.2 tag, Azure Resources Query 0.1.2 tag, or Canvas Authoring tag. The Cost Health 0.4.3 version tag must point to the approved private merge before it is used for installation. Its source export is pinned to the merged source revision. The older immutable Hosted 0.5.1 and ARG 0.1.1 package READMEs retain reviewed public source-distribution links. Before the new versions are approved and tagged, use the private 0.5.2 and 0.1.2 tag links above instead.
After this repository's marketplace is approved and published, open GitHub
Copilot App Customize → Plugins, use the marketplace gear to add
microsoft/azure-dev-tools once, and select a released plugin from the
azure-dev-tools marketplace. CLI install IDs are
<product>@azure-dev-tools. Access to this repository is required. Restart
Copilot and check the installed skills. Installing a canvas plugin does not
display its panel automatically: ask Copilot "Open Azure Functions Hosted
Skills", "Open Azure Resources Query", or, after Cost Health is
released, "Open Azure Cost Health Check in real mode for my subscription". The authoring companion does
not open a panel; use the host's native create-canvas workflow instead.
Private marketplace and native App installation have not yet been verified.
See installation and release guidance. The
marketplace follows this repository's default branch, not a pinned release.
Do not treat a private production plugin as released until its immutable tag
and installation target are verified.
The canvas-authoring production package and
its 26-file checksum receipt are available
from the reviewed product merge. Marketplace registration and native
installation remain unverified. Its one
create-canvas-app companion skill adds toolkit setup and counter or
read-only Azure resource-group starters to the host's native
create-canvas workflow. The host skill must already be installed; this
plugin contains no extension or preinstalled canvas. Canonical npmjs.org
publishes @microsoft/canvas-toolkit@0.1.0-preview.2 with the required
/build export; a corporate mirror may lag. The earlier
0.1.0-preview.1 lacks it. See the
marketplace release gates.
