Azure Virtual Network is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Virtual Network development including best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and deployment. Use when configuring VNet IP/DNS, peering and routing, NSGs/service endpoints, MANA/CNI networking, or hybrid connectivity, and other Azure Virtual Network related development tasks. Not for Azure Networking (use azure-networking), Azure Virtual Network Manager (use azure-virtual-network-manager), Azure Virtual WAN (use…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Development, covering Design patterns. 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 Virtual Network loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 850 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 Virtual Network is an agent skill from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Expert knowledge for Azure Virtual Network development including best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and deployment.
Azure Virtual Network fits situations like: configuring VNet IP/DNS; peering and routing; NSGs/service endpoints; MANA/CNI networking.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-virtual-network -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-virtual-network in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/azure-virtual-network in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-virtual-network -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/azure-virtual-network in MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/azure-virtual-network 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-virtual-network -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-virtual-network, .gemini/skills/azure-virtual-network, .github/skills/azure-virtual-network and .opencode/skills/azure-virtual-network in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Azure Virtual Network is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Docker. 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 Virtual Network 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 3.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k 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 Virtual Network: Drawio Azure (sparklabx/drawio-ai-kit, 652 stars), Azsdk Common Generate SDK Locally (Azure/azure-sdk-for-android, 121 stars), Azqr Developer (Azure/azqr, 794 stars) and Kouchou AI Development (digitaldemocracy2030/kouchou-ai, 171 stars).
