azure-identity-tsAuthenticate to Azure services using Azure Identity library for JavaScript (@azure/identity).
Azure Identity TS is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Authenticate to Azure services using Azure Identity library for JavaScript (@azure/identity). Use when configuring authentication with DefaultAzureCredential, managed identity, service principals, or interactive browser login.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/browser-auth.md` and `references/credential-types.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Authentication. It works with Microsoft Azure, Visual Studio Code, TypeScript and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3898ec8. 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:
npmFrom 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.comcognitiveservices.azure.comAlso links to:
aka.msFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALSAZURE_CLIENT_SECRETAZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORDFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure Identity TS loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 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.

Authenticate to Azure services using Azure Identity library for JavaScript (@azure/identity). Azure Identity TS is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Authenticate to Azure services using Azure Identity library for JavaScript (@azure/identity).
Azure Identity TS fits situations like: configuring authentication with DefaultAzureCredential; managed identity; service principals; interactive browser login.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-identity-ts -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-typescript/skills/azure-identity-ts in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/azure-identity-ts in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-identity-ts -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-typescript/skills/azure-identity-ts in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/azure-identity-ts 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-identity-ts -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-identity-ts, .gemini/skills/azure-identity-ts, .github/skills/azure-identity-ts and .opencode/skills/azure-identity-ts in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure Identity TS needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm) and credentials named AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET and AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD. Our summary lists: Node.js; A credential in AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: learn.microsoft.com and cognitiveservices.azure.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: aka.ms. 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 Identity TS is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
