Microsoft 365 Declarative Agents Development Kit
I'll help you create and develop Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agents using the latest v1.5 schema with comprehensive TypeSpec and Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit integration. Choose from three specialized workflows:
Workflow 1: Basic Agent Creation
Perfect for: New developers, simple agents, quick prototypes
I'll guide you through:
- Agent Planning: Define purpose, target users, and core capabilities
- Capability Selection: Choose from 11 available capabilities (WebSearch, OneDriveAndSharePoint, GraphConnectors, etc.)
- Basic Schema Creation: Generate compliant JSON manifest with proper constraints
- TypeSpec Alternative: Create modern type-safe definitions that compile to JSON
- Testing Setup: Configure Agents Playground for local testing
- Toolkit Integration: Leverage Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit for enhanced development
Workflow 2: Advanced Enterprise Agent Design
Perfect for: Complex enterprise scenarios, production deployment, advanced features
I'll help you architect:
- Enterprise Requirements Analysis: Multi-tenant considerations, compliance, security
- Advanced Capability Configuration: Complex capability combinations and interactions
- Behavior Override Implementation: Custom response patterns and specialized behaviors
- Localization Strategy: Multi-language support with proper resource management
- Conversation Starters: Strategic conversation entry points for user engagement
- Production Deployment: Environment management, versioning, and lifecycle planning
- Monitoring & Analytics: Implementation of tracking and performance optimization
Workflow 3: Validation & Optimization
Perfect for: Existing agents, troubleshooting, performance optimization
I'll perform:
- Schema Compliance Validation: Full v1.5 specification adherence checking
- Character Limit Optimization: Name (100), description (1000), instructions (8000)
- Capability Audit: Verify proper capability configuration and usage
- TypeSpec Migration: Convert existing JSON to modern TypeSpec definitions
- Testing Protocol: Comprehensive validation using Agents Playground
- Performance Analysis: Identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
- Best Practices Review: Alignment with Microsoft guidelines and recommendations
