AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The teams-app-developer skill provides a structured framework for managing the lifecycle of Microsoft 365 agents and Teams applications. It leverages the ATK CLI to handle project scaffolding, local testing via the Agents Playground, cloud provisioning on Azure, and troubleshooting. The skill includes specialized guidance for migrating Slack bots to Teams, including converting Block Kit UI to Adaptive Cards, and provides access to an extensive library of micro-expert documentation for cross-platform development.
What it does
- Scaffolds new Microsoft 365 agents and Teams applications from templates.
- Facilitates local testing using the Agents Playground or Teams-specific environments.
- Automates Azure resource provisioning and cloud deployment workflows.
- Provides diagnostic procedures for common authentication and configuration errors.
- Supports migration of Slack bots to the Teams platform.
- Manages project configuration and environment variables for ATK-based projects.
When to use it
- When starting a new Teams app, bot, or Declarative Agent project.
- When you need to test an agent locally before deploying to the cloud.
- When migrating existing Slack bots to the Microsoft Teams ecosystem.
- When troubleshooting deployment or authentication issues in a Teams project.
- When you need to provision Azure infrastructure for a Teams application.
Advantages
- Streamlines the development lifecycle with standardized CLI commands.
- Reduces development time by offering a local testing playground.
- Provides expert-level guidance for complex cross-platform migrations.
- Ensures consistent configuration management across development environments.
- Includes robust error-handling protocols for common platform-specific pitfalls.
Usage examples
- “Create a new Teams bot project using the default template.”
- The agent will initialize a new project folder, configure the necessary YAML files, and guide you through the initial setup using the ATK CLI.
- “How do I migrate my Slack bot to Microsoft Teams?”
- The agent will initiate the slack-to-teams workflow, providing access to cross-platform bridging experts and guidance on converting UI components.
- “My Teams bot is returning a 401 error, how do I fix it?”
- The agent will trigger the troubleshooting workflow, checking your environment variables, tunnel status, and authentication configuration.

Documentation by Microsoft
Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit Skill
Build Microsoft 365 agents and Teams apps using the ATK CLI.
AI Behavior Guidelines
Testing Strategy: Recommend Agents Playground first (faster, no M365 needed). Use Teams workflow only if user explicitly requests it.
Environment Variables: NEVER hardcode secrets or make up placeholder values. Always ask users for real values.
Error Handling: Read error messages carefully. Check
env/.env.local,.localConfigs, andatk auth list. Common pitfalls:AADSTS7000229→aadApp/createmissinggenerateServicePrincipal: truein YAML — add it and re-provisionMissing
TENANT_IDin.localConfigs→ SDK uses wrong token authority → 401 from Bot Connector401 persists after auth fix → devtunnel URL may be blacklisted — create a fresh tunnel
See troubleshoot/troubleshoot.md for full diagnostic steps
Long-Running Commands — WAIT for completion:
atk new,atk provision,atk deploycan take several minutesAlways wait for completion before running the next step (timeout 120000ms+)
Local Service Startup — Hangs terminal (expected):
npm run dev,npm start,python app.py,devtunnel host, etc. will hang — the process keeps running indefinitelyALWAYS run as a background process (
isBackground=true) — NEVER useisBackground=falsefor these commandsDo NOT wait for it to "finish" — verify startup by checking output for "listening on port" or tunnel URL
If errors appear, read logs, diagnose, fix, restart
Use a NEW terminal to launch Agents Playground or open Teams sideloading URL
Monitor App Logs: Periodically check background terminal output for runtime errors. If the app crashes, read the error, fix the root cause, and restart.
Telemetry Tagging: Before running any
atkCLI commands, set the session environment variable so all CLI invocations are tagged as skill-initiated:export ATK_CLI_SKILL=trueRun this once at the start of the session. All subsequent
atkcommands in the same terminal will inherit it.
ATK CLI Setup
atk --version # Must be > 1.1.5-betaIf ATK is not found or version is too old:
npm i -g @microsoft/m365agentstoolkit-cli@betaCLI Global Options
| Option | Meaning | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
-i | Interactive mode | Always use -i false in automation to avoid hanging |
-f | Project folder | Default to be current directory, used when specifying a custom folder. When scaffolding a new project, this is the parent folder where the project folder will be created under. |
-h | Command help | Use atk <command> -h for quick syntax checks |
Sub-Skills
| Sub-Skill | When to Use | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| create-project | Scaffold new project from template, choose template, atk new | create-project/create-project.md |
| test-playground | Test locally with Agents Playground, agentsplayground, quick testing | test-playground/test-playground.md |
| test-teams | Run on Teams, devtunnel, sideload, Teams testing, test in Copilot | test-teams/test-teams.md |
| provision-deploy | Provision Azure resources, deploy to cloud, atk provision, atk deploy | provision-deploy/provision-deploy.md |
| troubleshoot | Fix errors, 401, port conflicts, YAML errors, stale bots | troubleshoot/troubleshoot.md |
| slack-to-teams | Migrate Slack bot to Teams, cross-platform bridging, Block Kit to Adaptive Cards | slack-to-teams/SKILL.md |
MANDATORY: Before executing any workflow, read the corresponding sub-skill document.

Workflow Chains
Match user intent to the smallest valid workflow.
| User Intent | Workflow (read in order) |
|---|---|
| Build new app from scratch | create-project → test-playground |
| Test existing project locally | test-playground (recommended) or test-teams |
| Deploy to Azure | provision-deploy |
| Fix broken bot | troubleshoot → re-test |
| Migrate Slack bot to Teams | slack-to-teams |
MANDATORY: Before executing any slack-to-teams workflow, read slack-to-teams/SKILL.md first. The sub-skill contains a routed expert system with 100+ micro-expert files for cross-platform bot development.
ATK Project Context Resolution
Resolve config values only when missing. If a value is already known in the session, reuse it.
Step 1: Detect ATK Project
If m365agentstoolkit*.yml exists in the current folder, treat it as an ATK project and parse configuration.
Step 2: Resolve Common Configuration
Resolve variables referenced in m365agentstoolkit*.yml. Common variables:
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT
AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME
Step 3: Collect Missing Values
If required values are missing, ask the user for only the missing ones.
Refer to manifest-and-yaml.md for full config-file details.

cross-platform bridging
If the developer wants to add Slack support to an existing Teams bot, route to ../bridge/index.md for cross-platform bridging experts. The bridge domain covers Teams↔Slack feature mapping, UI conversion, identity bridging, and infrastructure migration. The Toolkit experts (toolkit.environments.md, toolkit.lifecycle-cli.md) also cover dual-platform patterns — cross-platform env var layout and projects that skip m365agents.yml.
combining rule
If a request spans multiple clusters (e.g., "add a function-calling tool that returns an Adaptive Card"), read files from every matching cluster. Avoid duplicates.
