Azure Data Factory is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Data Factory development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when configuring IR/SSIS/SHIR, mapping data flows, SAP/SaaS connectors, CI/CD deployments, or secure VNets/Key Vault, and other Azure Data Factory related development tasks. Not for Azure Data Explorer (use azure-data-explorer), Azure Synapse Analytics (use…
Its SKILL.md is about 16k 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 Test data and fixtures, Deployment and Design patterns. It works with Microsoft Azure and Databricks. 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 Data Factory loads about 16k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 159 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,982 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.

Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

Expert knowledge for Azure Data Factory development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations…. Azure Data Factory is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Data Factory development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment.
Azure Data Factory fits situations like: configuring IR/SSIS/SHIR; mapping data flows; SAP/SaaS connectors; CI/CD deployments.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-data-factory -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-data-factory in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/azure-data-factory in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-data-factory -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-data-factory in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/azure-data-factory 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-data-factory -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-data-factory, .gemini/skills/azure-data-factory, .github/skills/azure-data-factory and .opencode/skills/azure-data-factory in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Azure Data Factory 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 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.
Azure Data Factory 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 16k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 63k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Azure Data Factory: Azure Architecture Autopilot (github/awesome-copilot, 40k stars), Azure Bicep Skill (timothywarner-org/claude-code, 224 stars), Letta Configuration (letta-ai/skills, 147 stars) and Adf Master (Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace, 189 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
MicrosoftDocs (a GitHub organization, an official publisher) maintains it in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, which has 775 GitHub stars. The repository holds 149 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 5, 2026.
