Do NOT use for hands-on coding, infrastructure provisioning, or deployment automation (use DevOps/Platform Engineering skills for those). Do NOT use for one-time technology recommendations (those belong in the specific technology's skill). ## Triggers "IT strategy", "technology roadmap", "enterprise architecture", "digital transformation", "IT assessment", "technology audit", "architecture review", "IT modernization", "platform strategy", "technology stack evaluation", "build vs buy", "IT governance", "IT operating model", "cloud strategy", "infrastructure strategy", "IT cost optimization", "technology portfolio", "enterprise IT roadmap", "IT capability assessment" ## Methodology ### Phase 1: Current-State Assessment (As-Is) Before recommending any changes, understand the existing landscape. Skip this phase and you will recommend solutions to problems that don't exist. 1. **IT capability inventory**: Document what systems, platforms, and tools exist. For each, capture: - System name, vendor, version - Business function served - Deployment model (on-prem, cloud, hybrid, SaaS) - Integration points (what talks to what) - Age and support status (current-gen, legacy, end-of-life) - Annual operating cost (licenses, hosting, support, staff) - Business criticality (mission-critical, important, nice-to-have) 2. **Architecture Layer Mapping**: Organize capabilities into layers: - **Business layer**: Processes, org structure, KPIs - **Application layer**: Systems, services, integrations - **Data layer**: Databases, data lakes, analytics, governance - **Infrastructure layer**: Compute, network, storage, identity

Accessibility Standards
Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.
Accord
Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.
Acquire Codebase Knowledge
Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
Acreadiness Assess
Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
Acreadiness Generate Instructions
Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
Acreadiness Policy
Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
