$ npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill azure-functions -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install davila7/claude-code-templates azure-functions --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/cli-tool/components/skills/development/azure-functions .claude/skills/azure-functions && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Azure Functions is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Expert patterns for Azure Functions development including isolated worker model, Durable Functions orchestration, cold start optimization, and production patterns. Covers .NET, Python, and Node.js programming models. Use when: azure function, azure functions, durable functions, azure serverless, function app.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Serverless. It works with Azure Functions, Python, .NET and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : azure function
  • Azure functions
  • Durable functions
  • Azure serverless

Example prompts

  • “/azure-functions”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b4d8b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Functions loads about 344 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~344

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Azure Functions

Patterns

Isolated Worker Model (.NET)

Modern .NET execution model with process isolation

Node.js v4 Programming Model

Modern code-centric approach for TypeScript/JavaScript

Python v2 Programming Model

Decorator-based approach for Python functions

Anti-Patterns

❌ Blocking Async Calls
❌ New HttpClient Per Request
❌ In-Process Model for New Projects

⚠️ Sharp Edges

IssueSeveritySolution
Issuehigh## Use async pattern with Durable Functions
Issuehigh## Use IHttpClientFactory (Recommended)
Issuehigh## Always use async/await
Issuemedium## Configure maximum timeout (Consumption)
Issuehigh## Use isolated worker for new projects
Issuemedium## Configure Application Insights properly
Issuemedium## Check extension bundle (most common)
Issuemedium## Add warmup trigger to initialize your code
