CAIRA

Use this skill when a user wants to build or extend a generative AI solution. CAIRA is a reference library, not an application generator: inspect the repository, select the smallest relevant reference components, and adapt them into the user's workspace.

Core rules

• Default to modifying the user's target workspace, not the CAIRA repository, unless the user explicitly asks to change CAIRA.
• Use https://github.com/microsoft/caira/reference-architectures as the canonical source of truth. Inspect it live through GitHub/raw URLs or clone the repository temporarily to inspect reference-architectures/ locally; when a local reference-architectures/ checkout is already available, use it.
• Prefer small component references over full-stack copying.
• For scenarios that need OpenAI-compatible endpoints, prefer the Foundry IaC reference unless the user already has endpoints or asks for a different approach.
• Determine what the user already has before proposing new infrastructure.
• Keep recommendations focused on the current reference components listed below.
• Explain which CAIRA paths influenced the recommendation or generated files.
