azure-ai-projects-dotnetAzure AI Projects SDK for .NET. An agent skill from microsoft/skills.
Azure AI Projects Dotnet is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Azure AI Projects SDK for .NET. High-level client for Azure AI Foundry projects including agents, connections, datasets, deployments, evaluations, and indexes. Use for AI Foundry project management, versioned agents, and orchestration. Triggers: "AI Projects", "AIProjectClient", "Foundry project", "versioned agents", "evaluations", "datasets", "connections", "deployments .NET".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and Project management. It works with Azure AI Foundry and .NET. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354361d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
dotnetFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
learn.microsoft.comAlso links to:
github.comnuget.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALSFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure AI Projects Dotnet loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 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.
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.
The full file from microsoft/skills at commit 354361d, republished under its MIT licence (© microsoft). 281 words, ~2,901 tokens.

Azure AI Projects SDK for .NET. An agent skill from microsoft/skills. Azure AI Projects Dotnet is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization.NET.
Azure AI Projects Dotnet fits situations like: AI Foundry project management; versioned agents.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-projects-dotnet -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-dotnet/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-projects-dotnet -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-dotnet/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-projects-dotnet -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet, .gemini/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet, .github/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet and .opencode/skills/azure-ai-projects-dotnet in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure AI Projects Dotnet needs the command-line tools its instructions call (dotnet) and credentials named AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: learn.microsoft.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: github.com and nuget.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Azure AI Projects Dotnet is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Azure AI Projects Dotnet: Aspire (microsoft/aspire.dev, 196 stars), Akka.NET Management and Discovery (Aaronontheweb/dotnet-skills, 1.2k stars), Olore Dotnet Aspire Latest (olorehq/olore, 104 stars) and Create2 Deployment (Nethereum/Nethereum, 2.3k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
microsoft (a GitHub organization, an official publisher) maintains it in microsoft/skills, which has 3,091 GitHub stars. The repository holds 150 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 6, 2026.
