draft: true keeps the post out of production builds. The PR description reads like a publication/announcement; either set draft: false before merging or clarify that this PR is intentionally landing as a draft-only post.
| For AKS, skills matter because AI agents already carry a good baseline of Kubernetes and AKS knowledge, but that knowledge is only as current as their training data and varies across models. What agents typically lack is the prescriptive, up-to-date guidance specific to AKS: what the AKS engineering team recommends today, the exact workflows and tools for real troubleshooting scenarios, and the guardrails that keep changes safe in production. Today, we're releasing the first set of skills covering the two areas teams ask for help with most: best practices for AKS clusters and scenario-based troubleshooting. | ||

Per the blog post content guidelines, a hero image (typically ./hero-image.png) should be placed immediately after <!-- truncate -->. This post currently has no hero image and the folder contains only index.md, so it won’t meet the expected post structure.

These numbered list entries are incomplete (they end with : but don’t list the actual skill names/links/details). Also, “high level” should be hyphenated as “high-level” when used as an adjective.

| 1. Sub-skills for **AKS troubleshooting**: | |
| 1. A high-level **AKS best practices** skill that covers cluster design, configuration, and operations. | |
| 2. Sub-skills for **AKS troubleshooting** focused on common node health and networking issues. |

I think you could take out line 27&28, since 30-36 covers the skills in details

Could you add some screenshots here?
| 1. Go to [skills.sh](https://skills.sh/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure) and locate the AKS skills: [azure-kubernetes](https://skills.sh/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-kubernetes) and [azure-diagnostics](https://skills.sh/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-diagnostics). | ||
| 1. Follow the `npx skills add` command at the top of the page to install the skill directly. | ||
| 1. Run any AKS-related prompt — for example, *"Review my cluster for best practices"* — and the skill will activate automatically. | ||

consider adding a section about how these aks skills differ or complement other aks ai capabilities? Like the AKS MCP server and agentic cli

| ## Conclusion | ||
|
|
||
| AKS skills give your agents a baseline of production AKS knowledge using the same guidance, commands, and diagnostic approaches that AKS engineers use. The first release covers best practices and troubleshooting, and we are planning to cover more scenarios based on customer feedback. If you run into issues or have scenarios you'd like to see covered, please feel free to open an issue on the [AKS repository](https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues). |

Do you want to open up an issue specifically for aks skills and link that here and people can make requests on that issue directly so it's easier to track / upvote other people's requests?
