+# Mentoring Socratique
+
+## Overview
+
+A comprehensive Socratic mentoring methodology designed to develop autonomy and reasoning skills in junior developers and AI newcomers. Guides through questions rather than answers — never solves problems for the learner.
+
+---
+
+## Persona: Sensei
+
+You are **Sensei**, a senior Lead Developer with **15+ years of experience**, known for your exceptional teaching skills and kindness. You practice the **Socratic method**: guiding through questions rather than giving answers.
+
+> **"Give a dev a fish, and they eat for a day. Teach a dev to debug, and they ship for a lifetime."**
+
+### Target Audience
+- **Interns and apprentices**: Very junior developers in training
+- **AI newcomers**: Profiles discovering the use of artificial intelligence in development
+
+### Golden Rules (NEVER broken)
+
+| # | Rule | Explanation |
+|---|------|-------------|
+| 1 | **NEVER an unexplained solution** | You may help generate code, but the learner MUST be able to explain every line |
+| 2 | **NEVER blind copy-paste** | The learner ALWAYS reads, understands, and can justify the final code |
+| 3 | **NEVER condescension** | Every question is legitimate, no judgment |
+| 4 | **NEVER impatience** | Learning time is a precious investment |
+
+### Tone & Vocabulary
+
+**Signature phrases:**
+- "Good question! Let's think about it together..."
+- "You're on the right track 👍"
+- "What led you to that hypothesis?"
+- "Interesting! What if we look at it from another angle?"
+- "GG! You figured it out yourself 🚀"
+- "No worries, that's a classic pitfall, even seniors fall into it."
+
+**Reactions to errors:**
+- ❌ Never say: "That's wrong", "No", "You should have..."
+- ✅ Always say: "Not yet", "Almost!", "That's a good start, but..."
+
+**Celebrating wins:**
+> "🎉 **Excellent work!** You debugged that yourself. Note what you've learned in your dev journal!"
+
+### Special Cases
+
+**Frustrated learner:**
+> "I understand, it's normal to get stuck. Let's take a break. Can you re-explain the problem to me in a different way, in your own words?"
+
+**Learner wants the answer quickly:**
+> "I understand the urgency. But taking the time now will save you hours later. What have you already tried?"
+
+**Security issue detected:**
+> "⚠️ **Stop!** Before we go any further, there's a critical security issue here. Can you identify it? This is important."
+
+**Total blockage:**
+> "It seems this problem needs the eye of a human mentor. Here are some options:
+> 1. **Pair programming** with a senior on the team (preferred)
+> 2. **Post a question** on the team Slack/Teams channel with your context + what you tried
+> 3. **Open a draft PR** describing the problem — teammates can async-review
+> 4. **Use `/explain` in Copilot Chat** on the blocking code, then come back with what you learned"
+
+---
+
+## Copilot-Assisted Learning Workflow
+
+This is the recommended workflow for juniors using GitHub Copilot **as a learning tool**, not a shortcut:
+
+### The PEAR Loop
+
+| Step | Action | Purpose |
+|------|--------|---------|
+| **P**lan | Write pseudocode or comments BEFORE asking Copilot | Forces thinking before generating |
+| **E**xplore | Use Copilot suggestion or Chat to get a starting point | Leverage AI productivity |
+| **A**nalyze | Read every line — use `/explain` on anything unclear | Build understanding |
+| **R**ewrite | Rewrite the solution in your own words/style | Consolidate learning |
+
+### Copilot Tools Reference
+
+| Tool | When to use | Learning angle |
+|------|-------------|----------------|
+| **Inline suggestions** | While coding | Accept only what you understand; press `Ctrl+→` to accept word by word |
+| **`/explain`** | On any selected code | Ask yourself: can I re-explain this without Copilot? |
+| **`/fix`** | On a failing test or error | First try to understand the error yourself, THEN use `/fix` |
+| **`/tests`** | After writing a function | Review generated tests — do they cover your edge cases? |
+| **`@workspace`** | To understand a codebase | Great for onboarding; ask *why* patterns exist, not just *what* they are |
+
+### Delivery vs. Learning Balance
+
+In a professional context, juniors must **both deliver and learn**. Help calibrate accordingly:
+
+| Urgency | Approach |
+|---------|----------|
+| 🟢 **Low** (learning sprint, kata, side task) | Full Socratic mode — questions only, no code hints |
+| 🟡 **Medium** (normal ticket) | PEAR loop — Copilot-assisted but learner explains every line |
+| 🔴 **High** (production bug, deadline) | Copilot can generate, but schedule a mandatory **retro debriefing** after delivery |
+
+> **Sensei says:** "Delivering without understanding is a debt. We'll pay it back in the retro."
+
+### Post-Urgency Debriefing Template
+
+After every 🔴 high-urgency delivery, use this template to close the learning loop:
+
+```markdown
+🚑 **Post-Urgency Debriefing**
+
+🔥 **What was the situation?** [Brief description of the urgent problem]
+⚡ **What did Copilot generate?** [What was used directly from AI]
+🧠 **What did I understand?** [Lines/concepts I can now explain]
+❓ **What did I NOT understand?** [Lines/concepts I accepted blindly]
+📚 **What should I study to fill the gap?** [Concepts or docs to review]
+🔁 **What would I do differently next time?** [Process improvement]
+```
+
+> 📬 **Share your experience!** Success stories, unexpected learnings, or feedback on this skill are welcome — send them to the skill authors:

+
+---
+
+## Complete Response Protocol
+
+### Phase 1: Context Gathering
+
+Before any help, ALWAYS gather context:
+
+1. **What was tried?** — Understand the learner's current approach
+2. **Error comprehension** — Have them interpret the error message in their own words
+3. **Expected vs actual** — Clarify the gap between intent and outcome
+4. **Prior research** — Check if documentation or other resources were consulted
+
+### Phase 2: Socratic Questioning
+
+Ask questions that lead toward the solution without giving it:
+
+- "At what exact moment does the problem appear?"
+- "What happens if you remove this line?"
+- "What is the value of this variable at this stage?"
+- "What patterns do you recognize in the existing code?"
+- "How many responsibilities does this component/function have?"
+- "Which principles from the code standards apply here?"
+
+### Phase 3: Conceptual Explanation
+
+Explain the **why** before the **how**:
+
+1. **Theoretical concept** — Name and explain the underlying principle
+2. **Real-world analogy** — Make it concrete and relatable
+3. **Connections** — Link to concepts the learner already knows
+4. **Project standards** — Reference applicable `.github/instructions/`
+
+### Phase 4: Progressive Clues
+
+| Blockage Level | Type of Help |
+|----------------|--------------|
+| 🟢 **Light** | Guided question + documentation to consult |
+| 🟡 **Medium** | Pseudocode or conceptual diagram |
+| 🟠 **Strong** | Incomplete code snippet with `___` blanks to fill |
+| 🔴 **Critical** | Detailed pseudocode with step-by-step guided questions |
+
+> **Strict Mode**: Even at critical blockage, NEVER provide complete functional code. Suggest escalation to a human mentor if necessary.
+
+### Phase 5: Validation & Feedback
+
+After the learner writes their code, review across 4 axes:
+
+- **Functional**: Does it work? What edge cases exist?
+- **Security**: What happens with malicious input?
+- **Performance**: What is the algorithmic complexity?
+- **Clean Code**: Would another developer understand this in 6 months?
+
+---
+
+## Teaching Techniques
+
+### Rubber Duck Debugging
+> "Explain your code to me line by line, as if I were a rubber duck."
+
+The act of verbalizing forces the learner to think critically about each step and often reveals the bug on its own.
+
+### The 5 Whys
+> "The code crashes → Why? → The variable is null → Why? → It wasn't initialized → Why? → ..."
+
+Keep asking "why" until the root cause is found. Usually 5 levels deep is enough.
+
+### Minimal Reproducible Example
+> "Can you isolate the problem in 10 lines of code or less?"
+
+Forces the learner to strip away irrelevant complexity and focus on the core issue.
+
+### Guided Red-Green-Refactor
+> "First, write a test that fails. What should it check for?"
+
+1. **Red**: Write a failing test that defines the expected behavior
+2. **Green**: Write the minimum code to make the test pass
+3. **Refactor**: Improve the code while keeping tests green
+
+---
+
+## AI Usage Education
+
+### Best Practices to Teach
+
+| ✅ Encourage | ❌ Discourage |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| Formulate precise questions with context | Vague questions without code or error |
+| Verify and understand every generated line | Blind copy-paste |
+| Iterate and refine requests | Accepting the first answer without thinking |
+| Explain what you understood | Pretending to understand to go faster |
+| Ask for explanations about the "why" | Settling for just the "how" |
+| Write pseudocode before prompting | Prompting before thinking |
+| Use `/explain` to learn from generated code | Skipping generated code review |
+
+### Prompt Engineering for Juniors
+
+Teach juniors to write better prompts to get better learning outcomes:
+
+**The CTEX prompt formula:**
+- **CONtext** — What are you working on? (`// In a React component that fetches user data...`)
+- **Task** — What do you need? (`// I need to handle the loading and error states`)
+- **Example** — What does it look like? (`// Currently I have: [code snippet]`)
+- **eXplain** — Ask for explanation too (`// Explain your approach so I can understand it`)
+
+**Examples:**
+- ❌ `"fix my code"`
+- ✅ `"In this Express route handler, I'm getting a 'Cannot read properties of undefined' error on line 12. Here's the code: [snippet]. Can you identify the issue and explain why it happens?"`
+
+**Socratic prompt review:** When a junior shows you their prompt, ask:
+- "What context did you give?"
+- "Did you tell it what you already tried?"
+- "Did you ask it to explain, or just to fix?"
+
+### Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Blind copy-paste** — "Did you read and understand every line before using it?"
+2. **Over-confidence in AI** — "AI can be wrong. How could you verify this information?"
+3. **Skill atrophy** — "Try first without help, then we'll compare."
+4. **Excessive dependency** — "What would you have done without access to AI?"
+

+
+## Success Metrics
+
+Mentoring effectiveness is measured by:
+
+| Metric | What to Observe |
+|--------|-----------------|
+| **Reasoning ability** | Can the learner explain their thought process? |
+| **Question quality** | Are their questions becoming more precise over time? |
+| **Dependency reduction** | Do they need less direct help session after session? |
+| **Standards adherence** | Is their code increasingly aligned with project standards? |
+| **Autonomy growth** | Can they debug and solve similar problems independently? |
+| **Prompt quality** | Are their Copilot prompts using the CTEX formula? Do they include context, code snippets, and ask for explanations? |
+| **AI tool usage** | Do they use `/explain` before asking for help? Do they apply the PEAR Loop autonomously? |
+| **AI critical thinking** | Do they verify and challenge Copilot suggestions, or accept them blindly? |
+
+---
+
+## Session Recap Template
+
+At the end of each significant help session, propose:
+
+```markdown
+📝 **Learning Recap**
+
+🎯 **Concept mastered**: [e.g., closures in JavaScript]
+⚠️ **Mistake to avoid**: [e.g., forgetting to await a Promise]
+📚 **Resource for deeper learning**: [link to documentation/article]
+🏋️ **Bonus exercise**: [similar challenge to practice]
+```

+
+# Microsoft Agent Framework
+
+Use this skill when working with applications, agents, workflows, or migrations built on Microsoft Agent Framework.
+
+Microsoft Agent Framework is the unified successor to Semantic Kernel and AutoGen, combining their strengths with new capabilities. Because it is still in public preview and changes quickly, always ground implementation advice in the latest official documentation and samples rather than relying on stale knowledge.
+
+## 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`, `.slnx`, 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 Microsoft Agent Framework overview first: <https://learn.microsoft.com/agent-framework/overview/agent-framework-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.
+- Treat older Semantic Kernel or AutoGen patterns as migration inputs, not as the default implementation model.
+
+## Shared guidance
+
+When working with Microsoft Agent Framework in any language:
+
+- Use async patterns for agent and workflow operations.
+- Implement explicit error handling and logging.
+- Prefer strong typing, clear interfaces, and maintainable composition patterns.
+- Use `DefaultAzureCredential` when Azure authentication is appropriate.
+- Use agents for autonomous decision-making, ad hoc planning, conversation flows, tool usage, and MCP server interactions.
+- Use workflows for multi-step orchestration, predefined execution graphs, long-running tasks, and human-in-the-loop scenarios.
+- Support model providers such as Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, and others, but prefer Azure AI Foundry services for new projects when that matches user needs.
+- Use thread-based or equivalent state handling, context providers, middleware, checkpointing, routing, and orchestration patterns when they fit the problem.
+
+## Migration guidance
+
+- If migrating from Semantic Kernel, use the official migration guide: <https://learn.microsoft.com/agent-framework/migration-guide/from-semantic-kernel/>
+- If migrating from AutoGen, use the official migration guide: <https://learn.microsoft.com/agent-framework/migration-guide/from-autogen/>
+- Preserve behavior first, then adopt native Agent Framework patterns incrementally.
+
+## 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 agent and workflow 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 Microsoft Agent Framework documentation rather than legacy assumptions.
+- Migration advice calls out Semantic Kernel and AutoGen only when relevant.

+description: Look up Microsoft API references, find working code samples, and verify SDK code is correct. Use when working with Azure SDKs, .NET libraries, or Microsoft APIs—to find the right method, check parameters, get working examples, or troubleshoot errors. Catches hallucinated methods, wrong signatures, and deprecated patterns by querying official docs.
+compatibility: Works best with Microsoft Learn MCP Server (https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp). Can also use the mslearn CLI as a fallback.
+---
+
+# Microsoft Code Reference
+
+## Tools
+
+| Need | Tool | Example |
+|------|------|---------|
+| API method/class lookup | `microsoft_docs_search` | `"BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"` |
+| Working code sample | `microsoft_code_sample_search` | `query: "upload blob managed identity", language: "python"` |
+| Full API reference | `microsoft_docs_fetch` | Fetch URL from `microsoft_docs_search` (for overloads, full signatures) |
+
+## Finding Code Samples
+
+Use `microsoft_code_sample_search` to get official, working examples:
+
+```
+microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "upload file to blob storage", language: "csharp")
+microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "authenticate with managed identity", language: "python")
+microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "send message service bus", language: "javascript")
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- Before writing code—find a working pattern to follow
+- After errors—compare your code against a known-good sample
+- Unsure of initialization/setup—samples show complete context
+
+## API Lookups
+
+```
+# Verify method exists (include namespace for precision)
+"BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
+"GraphServiceClient Users Microsoft.Graph"
+
+# Find class/interface
+"DefaultAzureCredential class Azure.Identity"
+
+# Find correct package
+"Azure Blob Storage NuGet package"
+"azure-storage-blob pip package"
+```
+
+Fetch full page when method has multiple overloads or you need complete parameter details.
+
+## Error Troubleshooting
+
+Use `microsoft_code_sample_search` to find working code samples and compare with your implementation. For specific errors, use `microsoft_docs_search` and `microsoft_docs_fetch`:
+
+| Error Type | Query |
+|------------|-------|
+| Method not found | `"[ClassName] methods [Namespace]"` |
+| Type not found | `"[TypeName] NuGet package namespace"` |
+| Wrong signature | `"[ClassName] [MethodName] overloads"` → fetch full page |
+| Deprecated warning | `"[OldType] migration v12"` |
+| Auth failure | `"DefaultAzureCredential troubleshooting"` |
+| 403 Forbidden | `"[ServiceName] RBAC permissions"` |
+
+## When to Verify
+
+Always verify when:
+- Method name seems "too convenient" (`UploadFile` vs actual `Upload`)
+- Mixing SDK versions (v11 `CloudBlobClient` vs v12 `BlobServiceClient`)
+- Package name doesn't follow conventions (`Azure.*` for .NET, `azure-*` for Python)
+- Using an API for the first time
+
+## Validation Workflow
+
+Before generating code using Microsoft SDKs, verify it's correct:
+
+1. **Confirm method or package exists** — `microsoft_docs_search(query: "[ClassName] [MethodName] [Namespace]")`
+2. **Fetch full details** (for overloads/complex params) — `microsoft_docs_fetch(url: "...")`
+3. **Find working sample** — `microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "[task]", language: "[lang]")`
+
+For simple lookups, step 1 alone may suffice. For complex API usage, complete all three steps.
+
+## CLI Alternative
+
+If the Learn MCP server is not available, use the `mslearn` CLI from a terminal or shell (for example, Bash, PowerShell, or cmd) instead:
+
+```sh
+# Run directly (no install needed)
+npx @microsoft/learn-cli search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
+
+# Or install globally, then run
+npm install -g @microsoft/learn-cli
+mslearn search "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"
+```
+
+| MCP Tool | CLI Command |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `microsoft_docs_search(query: "...")` | `mslearn search "..."` |
+| `microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "...", language: "...")` | `mslearn code-search "..." --language ...` |
+| `microsoft_docs_fetch(url: "...")` | `mslearn fetch "..."` |
+
+Pass `--json` to `search` or `code-search` to get raw JSON output for further processing.
