Skill instructions
Test Agent Locally (AgentsPlayground) Trigger phrases — any of these will activate this skill automatically: - "test this agent locally" - "run my agent locally" - "open agentsplayground" - "launch agentsplayground" - "start a local test session" - "debug this agent locally" - "test my agent without deploying to teams" - "spin up a local test" --- Overview This skill starts your agent on localhost and opens AgentsPlayground — a local web UI that simulates a Teams-like chat interface without requiring a deployment or Bot Framework auth. What it does: 1. Detects agent language and framework (.NET, Node.js, or Python) 2. Checks agentsplayground is installed — installs if missing 3. Builds the agent to confirm there are no compile errors 4. Starts the agent in the background 5. Launches AgentsPlayground pointed at the local endpoint 6. Guides a local test and confirms observability logs are flowing (if instrumented) Why AgentsPlayground works for all AI Teammate stacks: - Web UI that match
