SRE Agent Jumpstart Skill
Use this optional Copilot CLI plugin for Challenge 19 or the SQL Server DBA capstone. It asks about your operations problem, researches Azure SRE Agent building blocks, and proposes a plan. After you approve the plan, it drafts the skills, knowledge docs, subagent configuration, or capability manifests.
Install the plugin
Add this repository as a plugin marketplace, then install the plugin. This also registers
the microsoft-learn MCP server, which the azure-sre-agent skill
uses to fetch current Azure SRE Agent documentation — no separate MCP setup needed.
copilot plugin marketplace add microsoft/frontier-sre-agent-rvas copilot plugin install rvas-sre-agent-jumpstart@rvas-sre-agent-jumpstart
Install the dependency skills
The jumpstart skill uses grilling for the interview and azure-sre-agent
for documentation research. Install both with the
gh skill install command.
gh skill install mattpocock/skills skills/productivity/grilling --agent github-copilot gh skill install MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills skills/azure-sre-agent --agent github-copilot
gh skill install is a preview GitHub CLI command and may change; re-run
gh skill install --help if either command stops working as documented.
When to use it
Both capstones ask you to design and test your own agent configuration. The jumpstart skill helps draft it; you still need to meet the track's Success Criteria and preserve its trust boundaries.
- Challenge 19 — Build Your Own Production-Ready SRE Agent: use it after you've sketched your design (Step 2) to draft the skill YAML, knowledge doc, and subagent configuration for Step 3.
-
SQL Server DBA Challenge 09 — Build Your
Own SQL Server DBA Agent: use it if your scenario would benefit from packaging as
a reusable skill or subagent alongside the supplied read-only
sqlserver-mcpconnector.
