Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires network access. Uses mcpmicrosoftdocs:microsoftdocsfetch or fetchwebpage to retrieve documentation.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Design patterns, Secrets management and Deployment. It works with Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Curated Agent Skills for Microsoft & Azure – giving AI coding assistants structured, real-time expertise from Microsoft Learn docs. The licence is CC-BY-4.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba74e8f. 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.
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.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
learn.microsoft.comgithub.comFrom 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.
Requires network access. Uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve documentation.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Azure Confidential Computing loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 148 tokens; SKILL.md has 767 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 noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-confidential-computing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-confidential-computing in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/azure-confidential-computing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-confidential-computing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-confidential-computing in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/azure-confidential-computing 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 MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-confidential-computing -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-confidential-computing, .gemini/skills/azure-confidential-computing, .github/skills/azure-confidential-computing and .opencode/skills/azure-confidential-computing in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Azure Confidential Computing is instructions for the agent only. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires network access. Uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve documentation..
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: learn.microsoft.com and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (runs commands with sudo), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Azure Confidential Computing is published under the CC-BY-4.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
