What it does
Discover Azure Skills is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Searches the Azure skills catalog and recommends installable agent skills by matching an Azure task to skill metadata and plugin installation guidance. WHEN: before starting any task that involves an Azure or Microsoft-cloud service, product, or data source, when no currently loaded skill or tool already covers it.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/install/claude-code.md`, `references/install/copilot-cli.md` and `references/install/other.md`).
It works with Microsoft Azure and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f2526ae. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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):
api.github.comraw.githubusercontent.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
Discover Azure Skills loads about 582 tokens when it runs, and up to ~832 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 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.

Follow these steps to discover the available azure skill matching the given task description.
- List plugins
List Azure plugin directories from the GitHub Contents API: https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/azure-skills/contents/.github/plugins?ref=main
In the result, each entry whose type is dir is a plugin directory. Skills are organized by plugins.
- List skills
For each plugin, list their skills from the GitHub Contents API: https://api.github.com/repos/microsoft/azure-skills/contents/.github/plugins/{plugin-dirname}/skills?ref=main
In the result, each entry whose type is dir is a skill directory. Each skill has a SKILL.md file that explains what this skill should be used for.
- Discover relevant skills
Eliminate the skills that obviously aren't relevant by their names. Then for each remaining skill, read their description from the API: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/azure-skills/main/.github/plugins/{plugin-dirname}/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md
Use the descriptions to further eliminate skills that aren't relevant.
- Discover the plugin name of the relevant skills
For each relevant skill, discover their plugin name by reading the plugin.json from the GitHub Contents API: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/azure-skills/main/.github/plugins/{plugin-dirname}/.plugin/plugin.json
This is important because a plugin's name may be different from its directory name. The installation commands depend on the plugin's name.
- Report the matched skills
Report the matched skills and offer instructions to install them. Skills can be installed by installing their plugin. Read the installation instructions matching the agent client to offer the installation instructions.
