v0.0.4-preview

Release overview

Azure Functions Skills 0.0.4-preview is a pre-release focused on making the public preview safer, easier to install, and easier to validate across GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code, and Codex.

Highlights:

• Added the new azure-functions-agents skill for building AI-powered Azure Functions agent apps, including scheduled agents, chat agents, connector-triggered agents, and background AI workflows.
• Improved install, chat, update, and doctor flows for both plugin and local installs across supported coding agents.
• Hardened update behavior with install-mode detection and file-type-aware strategies so user customizations are preserved more safely.
• Reduced workspace routing noise by keeping large skill content in skill files instead of duplicating it into routing instructions.
• Added stronger pre-release validation, including E2E test guidance, current published reports, and Vally evaluation coverage for create/setup/deploy scenarios.
• Refreshed documentation and release-readiness guidance for the Azure Functions Skills public preview.
