Sub-skill of microsoft-365-agents-toolkit. Routed expert system with 100+ micro-expert files for migrating Slack bots to Teams, cross-platform bridging, and dual-platform bot development. USE FOR: migrating Slack bot to Teams, adding Teams support to Slack bot, building dual-platform bots, converting Block Kit to Adaptive Cards, identity/OAuth bridging, deploying bots to Azure or AWS, configuring AI model providers. DO NOT USE FOR: general web development, non-bot projects, standalone Teams development without Slack (use parent skill instead).

teams-app-developer

Builds, tests, and deploys Microsoft 365 apps and agents for Teams and Copilot. Includes sub-skills for project creation, local testing, cloud deployment, troubleshooting, and Slack-to-Teams migration. USE FOR: Teams agent, bot, tab, message extension, Declarative Agents, Custom Engine Agents, local testing, Agents Playground, Azure resource provision, remote deployment, Slack to Teams migration, cross-platform bot development, Block Kit to Adaptive Cards conversion. DO NOT USE FOR: general web development, non-bot/non-Teams projects.

wiki-ado-convert

Converts VitePress/GFM wiki markdown to Azure DevOps Wiki-compatible format. Generates a Node.js build script that transforms Mermaid syntax, strips front matter, fixes links, and outputs ADO-compatible copies to dist/ado-wiki/.

wiki-agents-md

Generates AGENTS.md files for repository folders — coding agent context files with build commands, testing instructions, code style, project structure, and boundaries. Only generates where AGENTS.md is missing.

wiki-architect

Analyzes code repositories and generates hierarchical documentation structures with onboarding guides. Use when the user wants to create a wiki, generate documentation, map a codebase structure, or understand a project's architecture at a high level.

wiki-changelog

Analyzes git commit history and generates structured changelogs categorized by change type. Use when the user asks about recent changes, wants a changelog, or needs to understand what changed in the repository.

wiki-llms-txt

Generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for LLM-friendly project documentation following the llms.txt specification. Use when the user wants to create LLM-readable summaries, llms.txt files, or make their wiki accessible to language models.

wiki-onboarding

Generates four audience-tailored onboarding guides in an onboarding/ folder — Contributor, Staff Engineer, Executive, and Product Manager. Use when the user wants onboarding documentation for a codebase.

wiki-page-writer

Generates rich technical documentation pages with dark-mode Mermaid diagrams, source code citations, and first-principles depth. Use when writing documentation, generating wiki pages, creating technical deep-dives, or documenting specific components or systems.

wiki-qa

Answers questions about a code repository using source file analysis. Use when the user asks a question about how something works, wants to understand a component, or needs help navigating the codebase.

wiki-researcher

Conducts multi-turn iterative deep research on specific topics within a codebase with zero tolerance for shallow analysis. Use when the user wants an in-depth investigation, needs to understand how something works across multiple files, or asks for comprehensive analysis of a specific system or pattern.

wiki-vitepress

Packages generated wiki Markdown into a VitePress static site with dark theme, dark-mode Mermaid diagrams with click-to-zoom, and production build output. Use when the user wants to create a browsable website from generated wiki pages.

zustand-store-ts

Create Zustand stores with TypeScript, subscribeWithSelector middleware, and proper state/action separation. Use when building React state management, creating global stores, or implementing reactive state patterns with Zustand.
