+# Fix Pyright Issues Skill
+
+This skill automatically fixes pyright type checking errors in any Azure SDK for Python package by analyzing existing code patterns and applying fixes with 100% confidence.
+
+## Overview
+
+Intelligently fixes pyright issues by:
+1. Getting the package path or GitHub issue URL from the user
+2. Reading and analyzing the issue details (if issue URL provided)
+3. Setting up or using existing virtual environment
+4. Installing required dependencies
+5. Running pyright on the package
+6. Analyzing the pyright output to identify type errors
+7. Searching codebase for existing type annotation patterns
+8. Applying fixes only with 100% confidence
+9. Re-running pyright to verify fixes
+10. Creating a pull request
+11. Providing a summary of what was fixed
+
+## Running Pyright
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Use a Python 3.10 virtual environment
+- Ensure `azpysdk` is installed in the venv
+
+**Command:**
+```powershell
+cd <package-path>
+# 1. activate venv
+# 2. install dev_requirements.txt
+azpysdk --isolate pyright .
+```
+
+> **Note:** `azpysdk pyright` runs with a pinned version of pyright at the package level only. To focus on specific files, run the full check and filter the output by file path.
+
+**Using Latest Pyright:**
+```powershell
+azpysdk --isolate next-pyright .
+```
+
+> Use `azpysdk next-pyright` to run with the latest version of pyright. This is useful for catching issues that may be flagged by newer pyright versions.
+
+## Reference Documentation
+
+- [Official Pyright Documentation](https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/)
+- [Pyright Configuration](https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/#/configuration)
+- [Pyright Error Codes](https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/#/configuration?id=type-check-diagnostics-settings)
+- [Azure SDK Python Type Checking Guide](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/doc/dev/static_type_checking_cheat_sheet.md)
+
+## Fixing Strategy
+
+### Step 0: Get Package and Issue Details
+
+**Check if user provided in their request:**
+- GitHub issue URL (look for `https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/...` in user's message)
+- Package path or name (e.g. `sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob` or `azure-storage-blob`)
+- Virtual environment path (look for phrases like "using venv", "use env", "virtual environment at", or just the venv name)
+
+**If both GitHub issue URL and package path are missing:**
+Ask: "Please provide either the GitHub issue URL or the package path (e.g. sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob) for the pyright type checking problems you want to fix."
+
+**If a GitHub issue URL is provided:**
+Read the issue to understand which package and files/modules are affected, and the specific error codes to fix.
+
+**If only a package path is provided:**
+Run pyright checks directly on the package.
+
+**If virtual environment is missing:**
+Ask: "Do you have an existing virtual environment path, or should I create 'env' with Python 3.10?"
+
+### Step 1: CRITICAL - Activate Python 3.10 Virtual Environment FIRST
+
+
+**⚠️ IMPORTANT: ALL subsequent commands MUST run within the activated Python 3.10+ virtual environment. Never run commands outside the venv.**
+
+### Step 2: Install Dependencies (within activated venv)
+
+```powershell
+# Navigate to the package directory (within activated venv)
+cd <package-path>
+
+# Install dev dependencies from dev_requirements.txt (within activated venv)
+pip install -r dev_requirements.txt
+
+# Install the package in editable mode (within activated venv)
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Step 3: Identify Target Files (within activated venv)
+
+Based on the GitHub issue details, determine which files to check:
+
+**Option A - Run pyright on the package and filter output:**
+```powershell
+# Ensure you're in the package directory (within activated venv)
+cd <package-path>
+
+# Run pyright on the full package, then filter output for files from the issue
+azpysdk --isolate next-pyright .
+# Review output for errors in the specific files/modules mentioned in the issue
+```
+
+**Option B - Check modified files (if no specific target):**
+```powershell
+git diff --name-only HEAD | Select-String "<package-path>"
+git diff --cached --name-only | Select-String "<package-path>"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Run Pyright (within activated venv)
+
+**⚠️ Ensure virtual environment is still activated before running:**
+
+```powershell
+# Navigate to the package directory
+cd <package-path>
+
+# Run pyright on the package (within activated venv)
+azpysdk --isolate pyright .
+# Filter output for the specific files/modules from the issue
+```
+
+### Step 5: Analyze Type Errors
+
+Parse the pyright output to identify:
+- Error type and rule (e.g., reportGeneralClassIssues, reportMissingTypeArgument, reportAttributeAccessIssue)
+- File path and line number
+- Specific error description
+- Expected vs actual types
+- **Cross-reference with the GitHub issue** (if provided) to ensure you're fixing the right problems
+
+### Step 6: Search for Existing Type Annotation Patterns
+
+Before fixing, search the codebase for how similar types are annotated:
+```powershell
+# Example: Search for similar function signatures
+grep -r "def similar_function" <package-path>/ -A 5
+
+# Search for type imports
+grep -r "from typing import" <package-path>/
+```
+
+Use the existing type annotation patterns to ensure consistency.
+
+### Step 7: Apply Fixes (ONLY if 100% confident)
+
+**ALLOWED ACTIONS:**
+✅ Fix type errors with 100% confidence
+✅ Use existing type annotation patterns as reference
+✅ Follow Azure SDK Python type checking guidelines
+✅ Add missing type hints
+✅ Fix incorrect type annotations
+✅ Add proper type narrowing (isinstance checks, assertions)
+✅ Make minimal, targeted changes
+
+**FORBIDDEN ACTIONS:**
+❌ Fix errors without complete confidence
+❌ Create new files for solutions
+❌ Import non-existent types or modules
+❌ Add new dependencies or imports outside typing module
+❌ Use `# type: ignore` or `# pyright: ignore` without clear justification
+❌ Change code logic to avoid type errors
+❌ Delete code without clear justification
+
+### Step 8: Verify Fixes
+
+Re-run pyright to ensure:
+- The type error is resolved
+- No new errors were introduced
+- The code still functions correctly
+
+### Step 9: Summary
+
+Provide a summary:
+- GitHub issue being addressed
+- Number of type errors fixed
+- Number of errors remaining
+- Types of fixes applied (e.g., added type hints, fixed return types, added type narrowing)
+- Any errors that need manual review
+
+### Step 10: Create Pull Request
+
+> **⚠️ REQUIRED when a GitHub issue URL was provided:** You MUST create a pull request after validating fixes. This is not optional.
+
+Create a pull request with a descriptive title and body referencing the issue. Include what was fixed and confirm all pyright checks pass. The PR title should follow the format: "fix(<package-name>): Resolve pyright type errors (#<issue-number>)".
+
+## Notes
+
+- Always read the existing code to understand type annotation patterns before making changes
+- Prefer following existing patterns over adding new complex types
+- Use Python 3.10+ compatible type hints (use `Optional[X]` instead of `X | None`)
+- If unsure about a fix, mark it for manual review
+- Some errors may require architectural changes - don't force fixes
+- Test the code after fixing to ensure functionality is preserved
+- Avoid using `# pyright: ignore` unless absolutely necessary and document why

+#### Copilot auto-fix
+
+For `pylint`, `mypy`, `sphinx`, and `pyright` failures, the weekly pipeline automatically assigns the Copilot coding agent to open a fix PR.
+
+- **Review the PR**: review and merge it like any other PR.
+- **To opt out**, add the `copilot-auto-fix-disabled` label to the issue.
+- **If Copilot fails** to be assigned, the pipeline logs a warning and retries automatically on the next run.
+- **Version bumps**: when the checker version changes, Copilot is unassigned and reassigned to trigger a fresh fix attempt with the updated errors.
+- **Duplicate detection**: if an open PR already references the issue or mentions the package and check type, Copilot is not reassigned.
