Azure Storage Queue Rust

What it does

When your agent uses it

• DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

• “queue storage rust”
• “QueueClient rust”
• “send message rust”
• “/azure-storage-queue-rust”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Use cargo add to manage dependencies, never edit Cargo.toml directly. Add and remove Rust SDK dependencies with cargo commands instead of…
2. 2Add azure_core only when importing azure_core types directly. If your code imports azure_core::http::Url…
3. 3Use DeveloperToolsCredential for local dev, ManagedIdentityCredential for production — Rust does not provide a single…
4. 4Never hardcode credentials — use environment variables or managed identity
5. 5Assign RBAC roles — ensure appropriate queue data roles for the identity
6. 6Use QueueServiceClient as the entry point and derive QueueClient from it via queue_client()
7. 7Delete messages after processing — use the message ID and pop receipt from receive_messages
8. 8Reuse clients — clients are thread-safe; create once, share across tasks
9. 9Run cargo clippy -- -D warnings when the prompt, eval, or CI expects lint-clean output
10. 10Future-proof #[non_exhaustive] SDK models — end model-struct initializers (e.g. QueueMessage) with ..Default::default() (add…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354361d. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • cargo

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • crates.io
  • docs.rs
  • github.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 Storage Queue Rust loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 441 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~61

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.9k

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

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.
