Ahmed Rehan 17bce709de feat: Add Official Microsoft & Gemini Skills (845+ Total)
🚀 Impact

Significantly expands the capabilities of **Antigravity Awesome Skills** by integrating official skill collections from **Microsoft** and **Google Gemini**. This update increases the total skill count to **845+**, making the library even more comprehensive for AI coding assistants.

 Key Changes

1. New Official Skills

- **Microsoft Skills**: Added a massive collection of official skills from [microsoft/skills](https://github.com/microsoft/skills).
  - Includes Azure, .NET, Python, TypeScript, and Semantic Kernel skills.
  - Preserves the original directory structure under `skills/official/microsoft/`.
  - Includes plugin skills from the `.github/plugins` directory.
- **Gemini Skills**: Added official Gemini API development skills under `skills/gemini-api-dev/`.

2. New Scripts & Tooling

- **`scripts/sync_microsoft_skills.py`**: A robust synchronization script that:
  - Clones the official Microsoft repository.
  - Preserves the original directory heirarchy.
  - Handles symlinks and plugin locations.
  - Generates attribution metadata.
- **`scripts/tests/inspect_microsoft_repo.py`**: Debug tool to inspect the remote repository structure.
- **`scripts/tests/test_comprehensive_coverage.py`**: Verification script to ensure 100% of skills are captured during sync.

3. Core Improvements

- **`scripts/generate_index.py`**: Enhanced frontmatter parsing to safely handle unquoted values containing `@` symbols and commas (fixing issues with some Microsoft skill descriptions).
- **`package.json`**: Added `sync:microsoft` and `sync:all-official` scripts for easy maintenance.

4. Documentation

- Updated `README.md` to reflect the new skill counts (845+) and added Microsoft/Gemini to the provider list.
- Updated `CATALOG.md` and `skills_index.json` with the new skills.

🧪 Verification

- Ran `scripts/tests/test_comprehensive_coverage.py` to verify all Microsoft skills are detected.
- Validated `generate_index.py` fixes by successfully indexing the new skills.

Azure AI Transcription SDK for Python

Client library for Azure AI Transcription (speech-to-text) with real-time and batch transcription.

Installation

pip install azure-ai-transcription

Environment Variables

TRANSCRIPTION_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com
TRANSCRIPTION_KEY=<your-key>

Authentication

Use subscription key authentication (DefaultAzureCredential is not supported for this client):

import os
from azure.ai.transcription import TranscriptionClient

client = TranscriptionClient(
    endpoint=os.environ["TRANSCRIPTION_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=os.environ["TRANSCRIPTION_KEY"]
)

Transcription (Batch)

job = client.begin_transcription(
    name="meeting-transcription",
    locale="en-US",
    content_urls=["https://<storage>/audio.wav"],
    diarization_enabled=True
)
result = job.result()
print(result.status)

Transcription (Real-time)

stream = client.begin_stream_transcription(locale="en-US")
stream.send_audio_file("audio.wav")
for event in stream:
    print(event.text)

Best Practices

  1. Enable diarization when multiple speakers are present
  2. Use batch transcription for long files stored in blob storage
  3. Capture timestamps for subtitle generation
  4. Specify language to improve recognition accuracy
  5. Handle streaming backpressure for real-time transcription
  6. Close transcription sessions when complete
