What it does
Azure Search Nav is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Builds an Azure portal deep link to a specific blade/menu item for supported Microsoft.ContainerService, Microsoft.Kubernetes, and Microsoft.Compute resources using the aks-search-direct-mid semantic search API. WHEN: 'find where in the Azure portal to do something', 'search the portal for an operation', 'construct a portal link from a search query and a resource'.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/README.md`, `references/resource-types.json` and `version.json`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Microsoft Azure and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Container orchestration
Example prompts
- “find where in the Azure portal to do something”
- “search the portal for an operation”
- “construct a portal link from a search query and a resource”
- “/azure-search-nav”
Requirements
- PowerShell
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Collect resource link (portal URL or bare ARM resource ID) and search query from the user.
- Run references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1 -ResourceUrl '' -Query ''.
- The script signs in (browser by default; pass -UseDeviceAuthentication in headless/CLI
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
Ships script files (PowerShell), which the agent can run.
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 Search Nav loads about 603 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 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.

Azure Portal Search Link Builder
Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Script | references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1 |
| Resource map | references/resource-types.json |
| Prerequisite | Az.Accounts PowerShell module |
| Auth | Interactive Microsoft sign-in (Connect-AzAccount), or device-code with -UseDeviceAuthentication |
When to Use This Skill
- User asks to find where in the Azure portal to perform an operation on a supported Container Service, Arc-enabled Kubernetes, or Compute resource.
- User wants a portal deep link for a specific blade/menu item.
- User provides a resource URL or ARM resource ID and a natural-language search query.
Workflow
- Collect resource link (portal URL or bare ARM resource ID) and search query from the user.
- Run
references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1 -ResourceUrl '<link>' -Query '<query>'. - The script signs in (browser by default; pass
-UseDeviceAuthenticationin headless/CLI environments), calls the search API, and prints portal deep links always rooted athttps://portal.azure.com.
See references/README.md for full parameter reference and API details.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Resource type not enabled | armProvider not in references/resource-types.json | Confirm the type is in the enabled-provider list |
| 401 from API | Invalid token, or wrong tenant selected | Re-run and select the account with access to the target subscription's tenant |
| Empty results | No matching navigation item for the query | Try a different search term |
Az.Accounts not found | Module not installed | Install-Module Az.Accounts -Scope CurrentUser |
| Browser sign-in fails (no window handle) | Headless/CLI environment | Re-run with -UseDeviceAuthentication |
