# ms-teams-apps A skill for building Microsoft Teams bots, tabs and message extensions wired to an LLM. Useful when the agent has to live inside Teams. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 303 installs · ★ 711 - Author: alinaqi - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy/tree/HEAD/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-13 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/ms-teams-apps ## What it does The skill covers four Teams app types: LLM-powered bots, message extensions, tabs and webhooks. It walks through the architecture, ships a full app manifest and shows a bot built on Teams SDK v2 with an action planner and a prompt manager. Scaffold a project with `npx @microsoft/teams.cli new typescript my-agent --template echo`. Then configure the model in `src/app.ts` — Azure OpenAI via key and endpoint from environment variables, or OpenAI directly. Prompts sit in their own folder and load through `PromptManager`. You need an Azure OpenAI or OpenAI key; without one the model will not initialise. The manifest references `{{APP_ID}}` and `{{BOT_ID}}`, so fill those in before packaging. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill ms-teams-apps -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ms-teams-apps/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill ms-teams-apps -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill ms-teams-apps -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install alinaqi/maggy ms-teams-apps ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill ms-teams-apps -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy --path skills/ms-teams-apps ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill ms-teams-apps -a opencode ``` ### 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/alinaqi/maggy/tree/HEAD/skills/ms-teams-apps/SKILL.md ## When to use it - scaffold a Teams bot that answers through an LLM - write an app manifest with commands and permissions - add a message extension that searches an external system - wire up an action planner and prompt files for dialogue - ship a tab or webhook inside Teams ## Example prompts - scaffold a TypeScript Microsoft Teams bot with the echo template - set up the Azure OpenAI connection in my Teams app - write a Teams app manifest with an ask command ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
