Semantic Kernel
An open-source AI orchestration framework introduced by Microsoft in 2023. It systematically introduced the Skills/Plugins concept, enabling large language models to automatically select and execute semantically described callable functions via a Function Calling mechanism.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Among the eight frameworks named in the launch post, six—LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Semantic Kernel, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Claude Agent SDK—have no file records whatsoever in the agent-hooks repository.
A survey of 12 mainstream Agent frameworks found that none of the frameworks provides monetary-denominated tool-call budget control in its documentation (C5 is all no).
Frameworks matter far less than patterns; patterns that continue to be effective include plan-then-execute, separating retrieval from reasoning, and explicit handoffs.
Semantic Kernel is Microsoft's enterprise-oriented SDK, deeply integrated with the Azure ecosystem.
Frameworks matter far less than architectural patterns; patterns that continue to work include plan-then-execute, separating retrieval from reasoning, and explicit handoffs.
Common orchestration frameworks include LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and Semantic Kernel.
The frameworks covered by the scanner include LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGPT, Flowise, n8n, Google ADK, and Semantic Kernel.
Microsoft MAF is a framework that merges AutoGen and Semantic Kernel, and comes with built-in guardrails such as prompt injection defense.
In the JS/TS AI development space, AI SDK faces competition from LangChain.js, Microsoft Semantic Kernel, Cloudflare Workers AI, and others.
In the Microsoft Semantic Kernel framework, a skill refers to a function or plugin callable by AI; in the OpenAI GPTs ecosystem it is called an Action; and in LangChain it corresponds to a Tool.
