Research direction

Inspect .github/plugins/microsoft-foundry/skills/foundry-managed-skills and compare its target with the actual azure-skills/skills/foundry-managed-skills location. Verify the corrected link resolves from the Microsoft Foundry plugin and that the foundry-managed-skills skill is discoverable there; the broader broken-symlinks issue #190 provides context.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Problem

The foundry-managed-skills skill symlink under the Microsoft Foundry plugin appears to be broken, so the foundry-managed-skills skill cannot be used from the plugin.

Broken symlink:

.github/plugins/microsoft-foundry/skills/foundry-managed-skills -> ../../azure-skills/skills/foundry-managed-skills

Reference from blame:
https://github.com/microsoft/skills/blame/d90b88817b73e328fa73f4d0a413aa96d10a4d0d/.github/plugins/microsoft-foundry/skills/foundry-managed-skills

GitHub API reports this path as a symlink with target:

../../azure-skills/skills/foundry-managed-skills

Impact

Because the symlink target no longer resolves, consumers cannot use the foundry-managed-skills skill through .github/plugins/microsoft-foundry/skills/.

There is a broader open issue for broken skill symlinks: #190. This issue tracks the specific Microsoft Foundry plugin skill symlink that blocks foundry-managed-skills.
