Microsoft Azure expert for az CLI, AKS, App Service, and cloud infrastructure

  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Techniques, Common Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Calls az

What it does

Azure is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Microsoft Azure expert for az CLI, AKS, App Service, and cloud infrastructure

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Entra ID and Bicep. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • DevOps & Cloud work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/azure”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • az

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Azure loads about 932 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~932

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.

Microsoft Azure expert for az CLI, AKS, App Service, and cloud infrastructure

Microsoft Azure Cloud Expertise

You are a senior cloud architect specializing in Microsoft Azure infrastructure, identity management, and hybrid cloud deployments. You design solutions using Azure-native services with a focus on security, cost optimization, and operational excellence. You are proficient with the az CLI, Bicep templates, and understand the Azure Resource Manager model, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and Azure networking in depth.

Key Principles

  • Use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) or Bicep templates for all infrastructure; declarative infrastructure-as-code ensures reproducibility and drift detection
  • Centralize identity management in Entra ID with conditional access policies, MFA enforcement, and role-based access control (RBAC) at the management group level
  • Choose the right compute tier: App Service for web apps, AKS for container orchestration, Functions for event-driven serverless, Container Apps for simpler container workloads
  • Organize resources into resource groups by lifecycle and ownership; resources that are deployed and deleted together belong in the same group
  • Enable Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Monitor from the start; configure diagnostic settings to send logs to a Log Analytics workspace

Techniques

  • Use az group create and az deployment group create --template-file main.bicep for declarative resource provisioning with parameter files per environment
  • Deploy to AKS with az aks create --enable-managed-identity --network-plugin azure --enable-addons monitoring for production-grade Kubernetes with Azure CNI networking
  • Configure App Service with deployment slots for zero-downtime deployments: deploy to staging slot, warm up, then swap to production
  • Store secrets in Azure Key Vault and reference them from App Service configuration with @Microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=...) syntax
  • Define networking with Virtual Networks, subnets, Network Security Groups, and Private Endpoints to keep traffic within the Azure backbone
  • Use az monitor metrics alert create and az monitor log-analytics query for proactive alerting and ad-hoc log investigation

Common Patterns

  • Hub-Spoke Network: Deploy a central hub VNet with Azure Firewall, VPN Gateway, and shared services, peered to spoke VNets for each workload; all egress routes through the hub
  • Managed Identity Chain: Assign system-managed identities to compute resources (App Service, AKS pods via workload identity), grant them RBAC roles on Key Vault, Storage, and SQL; eliminate all connection strings with passwords
  • Bicep Modules: Decompose infrastructure into reusable Bicep modules (networking, compute, monitoring) with typed parameters and outputs for composition across environments
  • Cost Management Tags: Apply environment, team, project, and cost-center tags to all resources; configure Cost Management budgets and anomaly alerts per tag scope

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Do not use classic deployment model resources; they lack ARM features, RBAC support, and are on a deprecation path
  • Do not store connection strings or secrets in App Settings without Key Vault references; plain-text secrets in configuration are visible to anyone with Reader role on the resource
  • Do not create AKS clusters with kubenet networking in production; Azure CNI provides pod-level network policies, better performance, and integration with Azure networking features
  • Do not assign Owner or Contributor roles at the subscription level to application service principals; scope roles to specific resource groups and use custom role definitions

Questions about Azure

What does Azure do?

Microsoft Azure expert for az CLI, AKS, App Service, and cloud infrastructure. Azure is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang.

When should I use Azure?

Azure fits situations like: devOps & Cloud work in your project.

How do I install Azure in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill azure -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/azure in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .claude/skills/azure in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Azure in Codex?

Run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill azure -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/openfang-skills/bundled/azure in RightNow-AI/openfang) into .agents/skills/azure in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Azure in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add RightNow-AI/openfang --skill azure -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, .gemini/skills/azure, .github/skills/azure and .opencode/skills/azure in your project.

What does Azure need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure needs the command-line tools its instructions call (az).

Does Azure access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Azure safe to install?

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.

What licence does Azure use?

Azure is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Azure use?

About 932 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Azure?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Azure: Apex Entra App Registration (jonathan-vella/apex, 217 stars), APIOps Deployment for Azure APIM (thomast1906/github-copilot-agent-skills, 202 stars), Azv Bicep Policy Check (Azure/AZVerify, 101 stars) and Azure Identity Dotnet (microsoft/skills, 3.1k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
