Integrate Azure Functions Skills with Copilot Chat

[Tsuyoshi Ushio (TsuyoshiUshio)]

Summary

Integrates Azure Functions Skills into the Template Gallery's Build with Copilot Chat flow.

• Adds an opt-out workspace option, enabled by default, for installing Azure Functions Skills
• Customizes the Copilot Chat prompts and guidance for Azure Functions apps and serverless agents
• Installs skills into generated projects or the selected chat workspace before handing off to Copilot Chat
• Uses the exact published @azure/functions-skills@0.0.6-preview dependency and bundles it into the extension
• Rebases the change onto the latest main

Dependency and merge order

This PR still depends on microsoft/vscode-azuretools#2359. The local microsoft-vscode-azext-webview-1.2.0.tgz is retained because it contains the aiGeneration and workspaceOptions APIs used here. The published @microsoft/vscode-azext-webview@1.2.0 package does not contain those APIs.

Keep this PR in draft until microsoft/vscode-azuretools#2359 is merged and a package containing its changes is published. Then replace the local webview tgz with that published version, regenerate the lockfile, and revalidate before marking this PR ready.

Validation

• npm install --ignore-scripts resolves @azure/functions-skills@0.0.6-preview from the official public feed
• npm run build:esbuild
• npm run build:check
• npx eslint src/commands/createNewProject/FunctionsTemplateGalleryController.ts --max-warnings 0
• npm run package -- --out <artifact-path>

Pull request overview

This PR prototypes a “Build with Copilot Chat” flow tailored to serverless-agent scenarios by integrating Azure Functions Skills into the Functions template gallery experience, including local skill installation and VSIX packaging adjustments to keep the skills library external.

Changes:

• Adds an AI generation configuration and updates the Copilot Chat prompt content to steer generation through Azure Functions Skills.
• Installs Azure Functions Skills locally (best-effort) before opening Copilot Chat and records related telemetry.
• Switches demo dependencies to local .tgz files and updates bundling/packaging to keep @azure/functions-skills external but included in the VSIX.
