What it does
Aks Known Issues is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Lookup documented AKS fixes only when the prompt includes an exact catalog signature and all of its qualifiers: VMCannotFitEphemeralOSDisk; NodePoolMcVersionIncompatible; 'NodeImageVersion is not accepted'; AKS SkuNotAvailable with size, location, and zone; ZonalAllocationFailed with insufficient zone capacity; OverconstrainedAllocationRequest with listed constraints; nested AKS vmssCSE/CSE VMExtensionErrorOutboundConnFail, VMExtensionErrorK8SAPIServerConnFail, or VMExtensionErrorK8SAPIServerDNSLookupFail; or…
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/error-code-map.md` and `version.json`).
It works with Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Generic symptoms
- Incomplete signatures
- Failures outside AKS
- Use aks-troubleshooting
Example prompts
- “NodeImageVersion is not accepted”
- “/aks-known-issues”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Capture exact code, nested message, operation, and AKS resource.
- Require every qualifier; codes are not substrings.
- Give cause, fix, citation, and read-only verification.
- State what ran; require explicit approval before every mutation.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce94fce. 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
Aks Known Issues loads about 485 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 200 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

AKS Known Issues
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | Exact signature plus AKS operation |
| Output | Cause, fix, and Learn citation |
Use the catalog.
When to Use This Skill
Named catalog signatures only. Generic AKS → aks-troubleshooting; non-AKS →
no AKS skill.
If every qualifier for a catalog row is not present, do not use this skill.
This catalog has no quota-error rows; route AKS quota incidents to
aks-troubleshooting.
MCP Tools
None required. Use advertised read-only Azure tools or CLI queries.
Workflow
- Capture exact code, nested message, operation, and AKS resource.
- Require every qualifier; codes are not substrings.
- Give cause, fix, citation, and read-only verification.
- State what ran; require explicit approval before every mutation.
Error Handling
| Input | Response |
|---|---|
| Bare wrapper/number | Request nested signature and CSE context |
| Generic AKS | aks-troubleshooting |
| Non-AKS | No AKS skill |
