## What it does

The skill handles the routine around Teams. Your agent posts to channels, schedules meetings with attendees and a join link, and fires notifications through incoming webhooks. Ready-made YAML templates cover plain messages, HTML content and Adaptive Cards with inputs and submit buttons.

Everything runs through the `microsoft-mcp` MCP server with the `teams_message`, `teams_meeting`, `teams_channel` and `teams_webhook` tools. Without that server the skill has nothing to call, so set it up first and grant Microsoft Graph access. Bot commands are described too: `/status`, `/create-ticket` and `/approve {id}`, each with its own response handling.

CI/CD blocks cover build start and completion posts to `#deployments`, with fields for branch, duration and passed tests. There is also an expense approval flow: a card with Approve and Reject buttons, a wait for the response, then a decision handler. Watch the Microsoft Graph rate limits, and remember webhooks only carry one-way notifications.
