Welcome back, Friend!

In Part 1, we introduced GitHub Copilot Agent Skills, what they are, why they are useful for Azure operations, and what problem we are trying to solve with the PIM Advisor. We also set up the project structure and walked through the two core components: the rolesMapping.psd1 data file that defines which subscriptions, roles, and principals are permitted, and the activateAzResourcePimRole.ps1 script that handles the actual PIM activation through the Azure Resource PIM API.

In this part, we will complete the setup by writing the SKILL.md definition that makes everything available to Copilot in agent mode, understand how Copilot resolves natural language to script parameters, and test the full activation flow from a Copilot chat prompt. Think about this as the workflow definition that is going to respect the logic we implemented in the script and the mapping file, but from a natural language interface.

Hello Friends,

In this two-part series, I want to share a practical use case for GitHub Copilot Agent Skills, and it is something I have been exploring recently and find genuinely useful for day-to-day Azure operations. The idea is simple and following: instead of navigating the Azure portal to raise a Privileged Identity Management (PIM) request to cover your day to day operation for overarching tasks, you just ask Copilot in plain language, and it takes care of the rest.

Before getting into the implementation, let me quickly explain what Copilot Agent Skills are and why they are worth your attention.
