Skill instructions
QDK Programming Quantum programming with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit (QDK). Two Modes Most QDK features work in two modes: 1. Tool mode — use provided tools to work with standalone .qs / .qasm files directly. No Python required. 2. Python mode — the user writes Python scripts or Jupyter notebooks, using the qsharp/qdk Python packages as a driver for Q/OpenQASM programs. Default to tool mode unless the user is already working in Python or the feature is Python-only.
