azure-communication-chat-javaBuild real-time chat applications with Azure Communication Services Chat Java SDK.
Azure Communication Chat Java is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build real-time chat applications with Azure Communication Services Chat Java SDK. Use when implementing chat threads, messaging, participants, read receipts, typing notifications, or real-time chat features.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`).
It works with Azure Communication Services and Java. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354361d. 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 (its code samples are java, xml and bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AZURE_COMMUNICATION_USER_TOKENFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure Communication Chat Java loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 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.
The full file from microsoft/skills at commit 354361d, republished under its MIT licence (© microsoft). 192 words, ~2,388 tokens.

Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-communication-chat-java -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-java/skills/azure-communication-chat-java in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/azure-communication-chat-java in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-communication-chat-java -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-java/skills/azure-communication-chat-java in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/azure-communication-chat-java 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 microsoft/skills --skill azure-communication-chat-java -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-communication-chat-java, .gemini/skills/azure-communication-chat-java, .github/skills/azure-communication-chat-java and .opencode/skills/azure-communication-chat-java in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure Communication Chat Java needs credentials named AZURE_COMMUNICATION_USER_TOKEN. Our summary lists: A credential in AZURE_COMMUNICATION_USER_TOKEN.
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.
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 Communication Chat Java is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
