💡 Recommendations for Maintainers

1. Merge Add azure-hosted-copilot-sdk skill with test infrastructure and local dev tooling #880 (azure-hosted-copilot-sdk) and Add Azure Messaging Skill #979 (Messaging Skill) — both are active and add significant user-facing value.
2. Triage Deploy integration tests are timing out look at parallelizing jobs by test patterns #974 — integration test timeouts in deploy tests are a CI/CD risk; consider parallelizing by test pattern.
3. Fix #929 — the Foundry MCP browser-auth pop-up is a bad UX and a likely blocker for users in headless/CI environments.
4. Close stale issues — a handful of issues (incorrect documentation answer #40, Hallucinated incorrect code despite all references being correct #145, Broken documentation reference link #195, please fix this error #587) have been open for a long time and may benefit from a triage pass.
5. Track Add benchmark tests for remaining skills #976 — adding benchmark tests for remaining skills will help maintain quality as new skills ship.
