customizeInteractive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control.
Customize is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `EXAMPLES.md`, `references/customize-guides.md` and `references/customize-workflow.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d8f4f4e. 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:
azFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Customize loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 790 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.

| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Flow | Interactive step-by-step guided deployment |
| Customization | Version, SKU, Capacity, RAI Policy, Advanced Options |
| SKU Support | GlobalStandard, Standard, ProvisionedManaged, DataZoneStandard |
| Best For | Precise control over deployment configuration |
| Authentication | Azure CLI (az login) |
| Tools | Azure CLI, MCP tools (optional) |
Use this skill when you need precise control over deployment configuration:
Alternative: Use preset for quick deployment to the best available region with automatic configuration.
| Feature | customize | preset |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Full customization control | Optimal region selection |
| Version Selection | User chooses from available | Uses latest automatically |
| SKU Selection | User chooses (GlobalStandard/Standard/PTU) | GlobalStandard only |
| Capacity | User specifies exact value | Auto-calculated (50% of available) |
| RAI Policy | User selects from options | Default policy only |
| Region | Current region first, falls back to all regions if no capacity | Checks capacity across all regions upfront |
| Use Case | Precise deployment requirements | Quick deployment to best region |

⚠️ MUST READ: Before executing any phase, load references/customize-workflow.md for the full scripts and implementation details. The summaries below describe what each phase does — the reference file contains the how (CLI commands, quota patterns, capacity formulas, cross-region fallback logic).

SKU selection: GlobalStandard (production/HA) → Standard (dev/test) → ProvisionedManaged (high-volume/guaranteed throughput) → DataZoneStandard (data residency).
Capacity: TPM-based SKUs range from 1K (dev) to 100K+ (large production). PTU-based use formula: (Input TPM × 0.001) + (Output TPM × 0.002) + (Requests/min × 0.1).
Advanced options: Dynamic quota (GlobalStandard only), priority processing (PTU only, extra cost), spillover (overflow to backup deployment).

Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Customize is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control.
Customize fits situations like: : custom deployment; customize model deployment; configure content filter; deployment options.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill customize -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/customize in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .claude/skills/customize in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill customize -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/customize in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .agents/skills/customize 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/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill customize -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/customize, .gemini/skills/customize, .github/skills/customize and .opencode/skills/customize in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Customize needs the command-line tools its instructions call (az).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. 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.
Customize is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.9k 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 4.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Customize: Azure AI Deploy (timothywarner-org/claude-code, 224 stars), Azure Architecture Autopilot (github/awesome-copilot, 40k stars), Aspire (microsoft/aspire.dev, 196 stars) and Aspire Monitoring (CommunityToolkit/Aspire, 629 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
