Azure AI Agents Persistent SDK for Java

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-ai-agents-persistent-java from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Azure AI Agents Persistent SDK for Java Low-level SDK for creating and managing persistent AI agents with threads, messages, runs, and tools.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Environment Variables, Authentication, Key Concepts, Error Handling, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Azure AI Agents Persistent SDK for Java. Low-level SDK for creating and managing AI agents with threads, messages, runs, and tools.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Situation	Start here	Why it matters
First-time use	metadata.json	Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review	ORIGIN.md	Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution	SKILL.md	Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context	SKILL.md	Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision	## Related Skills	Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. `xml <dependency> <groupId>com.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-ai-agents-persistent</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-beta.1</version> </dependency> ### 1.
2. Create Agent java // Create agent with tools PersistentAgent agent = client.createAgent( modelDeploymentName, "Math Tutor", "You are a personal math tutor." ); ### 2.
3. Create Thread java PersistentAgentThread thread = client.createThread(); ### 3.
4. Add Message java client.createMessage( thread.getId(), MessageRole.USER, "I need help with equations." ); ### 4.
5. Run Agent java ThreadRun run = client.createRun(thread.getId(), agent.getId()); // Poll for completion while (run.getStatus() == RunStatus.QUEUED || run.getStatus() == RunStatus.IN_PROGRESS) { Thread.sleep(500); run = client.getRun(thread.getId(), run.getId()); } ### 5.
6. Get Response java PagedIterable<PersistentThreadMessage> messages = client.listMessages(thread.getId()); for (PersistentThreadMessage message : messages) { System.out.println(message.getRole() + ": " + message.getContent()); } ### 6.
7. Cleanup java client.deleteThread(thread.getId()); client.deleteAgent(agent.getId()); `

Imported: Core Workflow

1. Create Agent

// Create agent with tools
PersistentAgent agent = client.createAgent(
    modelDeploymentName,
    "Math Tutor",
    "You are a personal math tutor."
);

2. Create Thread

PersistentAgentThread thread = client.createThread();

3. Add Message

client.createMessage(
    thread.getId(),
    MessageRole.USER,
    "I need help with equations."
);

4. Run Agent

ThreadRun run = client.createRun(thread.getId(), agent.getId());

// Poll for completion
while (run.getStatus() == RunStatus.QUEUED || run.getStatus() == RunStatus.IN_PROGRESS) {
    Thread.sleep(500);
    run = client.getRun(thread.getId(), run.getId());
}

5. Get Response

PagedIterable<PersistentThreadMessage> messages = client.listMessages(thread.getId());
for (PersistentThreadMessage message : messages) {
    System.out.println(message.getRole() + ": " + message.getContent());
}

6. Cleanup

client.deleteThread(thread.getId());
client.deleteAgent(agent.getId());

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @azure-ai-agents-persistent-java to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @azure-ai-agents-persistent-java against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @azure-ai-agents-persistent-java for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @azure-ai-agents-persistent-java using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Use DefaultAzureCredential for production authentication
• Poll with appropriate delays — 500ms recommended between status checks
• Clean up resources — Delete threads and agents when done
• Handle all run statuses — Check for RequiresAction, Failed, Cancelled
• Use async client for better throughput in high-concurrency scenarios
• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-ai-agents-persistent-java, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
