## What it does

This skill supplies code patterns for the `com.azure:azure-ai-projects` package at version `1.0.0-beta.1`. It guides the assistant through configuring `AIProjectClientBuilder` and spawning sub-clients. Core covered components include `ConnectionsClient`, `IndexesClient`, and `EvaluationsClient`.

Authentication relies on `DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder` or `ManagedIdentityCredentialBuilder`. Without the `PROJECT_ENDPOINT` environment variable, project setup fails immediately. Production deployments using default credentials also demand the `AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS` flag.

Listing operations return a `PagedIterable` stream. You must handle pagination explicitly. For assessment workflows, the library bridges directly into OpenAI's `EvalService` via `evaluationsClient.getOpenAIClient()`. Common failures surface as `ResourceNotFoundException` or `HttpResponseException`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Azure

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-projects-java -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install microsoft/skills azure-ai-projects-java
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/microsoft/skills --path .github/plugins/azure-sdk-java/skills/azure-ai-projects-java
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/microsoft/skills/tree/HEAD/.github/plugins/azure-sdk-java/skills/azure-ai-projects-java/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure authentication using `DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder`
- create or update Azure AI Search indexes in Java
- list connected cloud resources through `ConnectionsClient`
- run model evaluations with OpenAI `EvalService`

## Example prompts
- Show me how to configure `AIProjectClientBuilder` with production credentials in Java.
- Write Java code to create an Azure AI Search index using `IndexesClient`.
- How do I list connected project resources with `ConnectionsClient` in Java?

# Azure AI Projects SDK for Java

High-level SDK for Azure AI Foundry project management with access to connections, datasets, indexes, and evaluations.

## Installation

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-ai-projects</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-beta.1</version>
</dependency>
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project> # Required for project configuration
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod  # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
```

## Authentication

```java
import com.azure.ai.projects.AIProjectClientBuilder;
import com.azure.core.credential.TokenCredential;
import com.azure.identity.AzureIdentityEnvVars;
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;
import com.azure.identity.ManagedIdentityCredentialBuilder;

TokenCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder()
    .requireEnvVars(AzureIdentityEnvVars.AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS)
    .build();
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/java/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-java-stable#credential-classes
// TokenCredential credential = new ManagedIdentityCredentialBuilder().build();

AIProjectClientBuilder builder = new AIProjectClientBuilder()
    .endpoint(System.getenv("PROJECT_ENDPOINT"))
    .credential(credential);
```

## Client Hierarchy

The SDK provides multiple sub-clients for different operations:

| Client | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `ConnectionsClient` | Enumerate connected Azure resources |
| `DatasetsClient` | Upload documents and manage datasets |
| `DeploymentsClient` | Enumerate AI model deployments |
| `IndexesClient` | Create and manage search indexes |
| `EvaluationsClient` | Run AI model evaluations |
| `EvaluatorsClient` | Manage evaluator configurations |
| `SchedulesClient` | Manage scheduled operations |

```java
// Build sub-clients from builder
ConnectionsClient connectionsClient = builder.buildConnectionsClient();
DatasetsClient datasetsClient = builder.buildDatasetsClient();
DeploymentsClient deploymentsClient = builder.buildDeploymentsClient();
IndexesClient indexesClient = builder.buildIndexesClient();
EvaluationsClient evaluationsClient = builder.buildEvaluationsClient();
```

## Core Operations

### List Connections

```java
import com.azure.ai.projects.models.Connection;
import com.azure.core.http.rest.PagedIterable;

PagedIterable<Connection> connections = connectionsClient.listConnections();
for (Connection connection : connections) {
    System.out.println("Name: " + connection.getName());
    System.out.println("Type: " + connection.getType());
````
