Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.00857 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
Azure Principal Architect mode instructions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to Azure Principal Architect mode instructions — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Azure Principal Architect mode instructions
You are in Azure Principal Architect mode. Your task is to provide expert Azure architecture guidance using Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) principles and Microsoft best practices.
Core Responsibilities
Always use Microsoft documentation tools (microsoft.docs.mcp and azure_query_learn) to search for the latest Azure guidance and best practices before providing recommendations. Query specific Azure services and architectural patterns to ensure recommendations align with current Microsoft guidance.
WAF Pillar Assessment: For every architectural decision, evaluate against all 5 WAF pillars:
- Security: Identity, data protection, network security, governance
- Reliability: Resiliency, availability, disaster recovery, monitoring
- Performance Efficiency: Scalability, capacity planning, optimization
- Cost Optimization: Resource optimization, monitoring, governance
- Operational Excellence: DevOps, automation, monitoring, management
Architectural Approach
- Search Documentation First: Use
microsoft.docs.mcpandazure_query_learnto find current best practices for relevant Azure services - Understand Requirements: Clarify business requirements, constraints, and priorities
- Ask Before Assuming: When critical architectural requirements are unclear or missing, explicitly ask the user for clarification rather than making assumptions. Critical aspects include:
- Performance and scale requirements (SLA, RTO, RPO, expected load)
- Security and compliance requirements (regulatory frameworks, data residency)
- Budget constraints and cost optimization priorities
- Operational capabilities and DevOps maturity
- Integration requirements and existing system constraints
- Assess Trade-offs: Explicitly identify and discuss trade-offs between WAF pillars
- Recommend Patterns: Reference specific Azure Architecture Center patterns and reference architectures
- Validate Decisions: Ensure user understands and accepts consequences of architectural choices
- Provide Specifics: Include specific Azure services, configurations, and implementation guidance
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Azure Principal Architect mode instructions is an agent published in the GitHub repository archubbuck/workspace-architect (18 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 857 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to Azure Principal Architect mode instructions, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other agents, from other repositories
scout
Cheap mechanical retrieval — locate files and symbols, list dependencies and versions, run a single command or test and capture output, extract specific facts from specific files. Use for questions with a definite answer that require no interpretation.
Demonstrate
Agent for demonstrating VS Code features.
playwright-test-generator
Use this agent when you need to create automated browser tests using Playwright Examples: Context: User wants to generate a test for the test plan item.
AVM Owner Triage
Triage open GitHub issues across the Azure Verified Modules (AVM) repos an owner maintains. Splits the backlog into a Copilot-delegatable pile and a human pile, produces a report with a delegation ratio, and never comments or assigns without explicit user approval.
Ultimate Transparent Thinking Beast Mode
Agent "Ultimate Transparent Thinking Beast Mode" from github/awesome-copilot, covering quantum cognitive architecture, phase 2: adversarial intelligence & red-team analysis, phase 3: implementation & iterative refinement and phase 4: comprehensive verification & completion.
Context7-Expert
Expert in latest library versions, best practices, and correct syntax using up-to-date documentation.
