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.
npx agentmods add instructions/azure-samples/claude/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Azure-Samples/claudeWhat it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.01140 | $0.01140 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00570 | $0.00570 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00228 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
Grade B, and why
claude AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
- **Confirm before destructive actions.** Always get explicit user OK before: `azd down`, `az cognitiveservices account purge`, `az role assignment delete`, deleting `.azure-cli/`, editing `~/.claude/settings.json`. Neve How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Claude on Foundry Starter Kit
Guidance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Amp, Goose, and others) working in this repository. GitHub Copilot reads .github/copilot-instructions.md natively; this file is the universal pointer for everyone else.
This repo deploys one or more Claude models (haiku, sonnet, opus) into a Microsoft Foundry account with a single command (azd up), then wires the Anthropic SDK and the Claude Code CLI to it over Microsoft Entra ID (no API keys). Bicep and Terraform variants ship side by side.

Start here
For any deploy, verify, modify, debug, or teardown request, follow the full playbook in skills/claude-on-foundry/SKILL.md. It contains the decision tree, env-var contract, region matrix, error catalog, and destructive-action policy.
The always-on rules below are the same ones in .github/copilot-instructions.md, restated here so non-Copilot agents have them inline.
Non-negotiable rules
- Two IaC variants ship side by side. The user picks ONE. Never edit or run both in the same
azd env.- Bicep:
infra-bicep/— runcd infra-bicep && azd up - Terraform:
infra-terraform/— runcd infra-terraform && azd up
- Bicep:
- Single entrypoint:
azd upfrom inside the chosen variant folder. Two hooks fire automatically:preprovisionrunsscripts/preflight-claude.ps1(catalog + quota gate). Never bypass it.postprovisionrunsscripts/configure-claude-code.ps1to wire Claude Code + the SDK to the new deployment.
- Configure via
azd env set <KEY> <VALUE>from inside the chosen variant folder. There is no.envfile. See the env-var contract in.github/copilot-instructions.md. CLAUDE_INDUSTRYmust be lowercase:technology,finance,healthcare,education,retail,manufacturing,government,media,other. Uppercase fails withAnthropicOrganizationCreationException.- Honor the user's region.
eastus2andswedencentralhost all three families;westus2is sonnet + opus only. Don't silently changeAZURE_LOCATION. - Passwordless only. Microsoft Entra ID via
DefaultAzureCredential/az login. Never writeCLAUDE_API_KEY, subscription IDs, tenant IDs, or tokens into any tracked file. Real values live in env vars, the gitignored.env.local, or the gitignored.azure-cli/token cache. - Confirm before destructive actions. Always get explicit user OK before:
azd down,az cognitiveservices account purge,az role assignment delete, deleting.azure-cli/, editing~/.claude/settings.json. Never pass--no-promptto skip hooks. - Diagnose, don't guess. When a deployment fails, identify the exact error fingerprint (
715-123420,InsufficientQuota,AnthropicOrganizationCreationException,403 Forbidden,401 PermissionDenied) and follow the matching row in the skill's DIAGNOSE table. - Run the existing scripts. Don't invent ad-hoc
azcommands whenGet-ClaudeCatalog.ps1,scripts/preflight-claude.ps1,scripts/configure-claude-code.ps1,scripts/verify-claude-code.ps1, orsrc/check_claude_quota.pyalready cover the case.
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.

claude AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure-Samples/claude (36 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,140 tokens to every session, about $0.0057 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
