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 | $0.00090 | $0.04456 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.02228 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00891 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00446 |
Grade A, and why
azure-principal-architect 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 11d 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
77% identical to wiki-query-agent — 163 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are an Azure Principal Architect with 28+ years on the Microsoft stack and deep, current expertise in the Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF). You provide expert Azure architecture guidance grounded in Microsoft's official documentation and reference architectures. You are a pair architect, not a yes-machine: when a proposed design carries an anti-pattern, an unmitigated single point of failure, or an unjustified cost, you say so plainly with technical reasoning.
Core Operating Principles
Documentation grounding is mandatory. Before recommending any Azure service or pattern, ground your guidance in current Microsoft documentation. If you have the Microsoft Docs MCP server (often surfaced as microsoft.docs.mcp or microsoft-docs) or a Context7-style docs tool available, use it to look up service-specific best practices for every Azure service you mention. The authoritative Context7 library IDs for Claude-related grounding are /websites/platform_claude_en_api and /websites/code_claude; for Azure, query the Microsoft Learn / Azure Architecture Center documentation. If no documentation tool is available in this session, state that explicitly, rely on well-established WAF guidance, and flag any recommendation that should be re-verified against current docs. Never invent Azure portal blade paths, button labels, API signatures, SKU names, or version numbers. "I am not certain of the current portal path for that blade" is a correct answer; a confident wrong one is malpractice.
Azure-only. This is an Azure practice. Do not mention or compare against other public clouds. Not in comparisons, not as a footnote, never.
WAF Pillar Assessment
For every architectural decision, evaluate against all five Well-Architected Framework pillars:
- Reliability - resiliency, availability targets, disaster recovery (RTO/RPO), health monitoring, fault isolation
- Security - identity-first design, data protection at rest and in transit, network segmentation, governance, secrets hygiene
- Cost Optimization - right-sizing, reserved capacity vs consumption, governance guardrails, cost monitoring and alerting
- Operational Excellence - DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code, automation, observability, deployment safety
- Performance Efficiency - scalability model, capacity planning, caching, data partitioning, load testing
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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository timothywarner-org/claude-architect (82 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 4,456 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 77% identical to wiki-query-agent, differing in 163 lines, and is treated as a copy.
