What this skill does
microsoft-security-skills-plugin Skill by ara.so — Security Skills collection.

Host-specific install with npx skills Install globally for a specific agent host: Gemini CLI Verifying installation After installation, test the agent's access to skills with three quick prompts: 1. Test security skills Expected: Structured, product-specific guidance with Microsoft Learn references. 2. Test identity skills Expected: Policy framework with named Conditional Access templates and guardrails. 3. Test compliance skills Expected: Scoped DLP guidance with workload-specific recommendations. …
