One of 3 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We are troubleshooting an on-premises physical NetApp FAS storage array running ONTAP 9.12. Please provide the ONTAP CLI cluster shell command syntax (`storage aggregate modify`) to expand an aggregate across physical RAID groups.

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure NetApp Files. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g.,
L35-L120), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
