Create new Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server instances and configure passwordless authentication with Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Phrases include passwordless for postgres

  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls az; reaches portal.azure.com
  • Entra id postgres

What it does

Azure Postgres is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Create new Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server instances and configure passwordless authentication with Microsoft Entra ID. Set up developer access, managed identities for apps, group-based permissions, and migrate from password-based to Entra ID authentication. Trigger phrases include "passwordless for postgres", "entra id postgres", "azure ad postgres authentication", "postgres managed identity", "migrate postgres to passwordless".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/entra-rbac-overview.md`, `references/group-sync.md` and `references/permission-templates.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication. It works with PostgreSQL, Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include passwordless for postgres
  • Entra id postgres
  • Azure ad postgres authentication
  • Postgres managed identity

Example prompts

  • “passwordless for postgres”
  • “entra id postgres”
  • “azure ad postgres authentication”
  • “/azure-postgres”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 5 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • az

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • portal.azure.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Azure Postgres loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 466 words (~1,519 tokens).

“Configure passwordless authentication with Microsoft Entra ID for existing Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server. This skill focuses on setting up Entra ID authentication, managing user access, and migrating from password-based authentication.”
