Azure Update Manager is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Update Manager development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when onboarding VMs/Arc servers, configuring patch schedules/ESU, using SDK/REST APIs, or integrating runbooks/webhooks, and other Azure Update Manager related development tasks. Not for Azure Automation (use azure-automation), Azure Policy (use azure-policy), Azure Monitor (use azure-monitor), Azure Site…
Its SKILL.md is about 3k 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 Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs, Webhooks and Runbooks and postmortems. It works with Microsoft Azure and Azure Monitor. 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 Update Manager loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 838 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.

Azure Update Manager is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Update Manager development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment.
Azure Update Manager fits situations like: onboarding VMs/Arc servers; configuring patch schedules/ESU; using SDK/REST APIs; integrating runbooks/webhooks.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-update-manager -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-update-manager in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/azure-update-manager in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-update-manager -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-update-manager in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/azure-update-manager 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-update-manager -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-update-manager, .gemini/skills/azure-update-manager, .github/skills/azure-update-manager and .opencode/skills/azure-update-manager in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Azure Update Manager is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3. 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 Update Manager 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 3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k 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 Update Manager: Kibana Connectors (aspectrr/deer, 405 stars), Linear Incident Runbook (jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace, 2.8k stars), API Patterns (dilolabs/nosia, 213 stars) and Kql Validator (Azure/azqr, 795 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
