Azure Functions Skills is a repository of agent skills, prompts, reusable definitions, MCP configuration, and telemetry hooks that give coding agents context about Azure Functions development and operations. Developers use it for guidance on triggers, bindings, runtimes, deployment, and code checks, while the catalogue contains its agent-facing add-ons.

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 | $0.00296 | $0.00296 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00148 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00059 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
azure-functions-skills copilot-instructions.md 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 7d 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.
What it actually says
Copilot Instructions
This repository is the Azure Functions Skills CLI and plugin system — it equips coding agents (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex) with Azure Functions–specific knowledge.
Key Rules
- TypeScript strict mode — no
anytypes; use interfaces and generics. - ESM only —
import/export, neverrequire(). - TDD for code changes — write tests first (
npm test,npm run test:watch). - Lint before commit —
npm run lintandnpm run typecheck. - Templates are canonical — edit
templates/, thennpm run build:plugin-payload. Never hand-edit generated files. - CLI usability — commands must be intuitive; error messages must be actionable.
- E2E for CLI changes — verify with
node bin/azure-functions-skills.js <cmd> --dir <isolated-workspace>.
Security
- No secrets in code.
- Never run Vally evals on PR code — prompt injection risk. Use GitHub Environment with reviewer gate.
- Never run
doctor --deepon untrusted workspaces.
Full Gate
npm run check # lint + typecheck + security lint + skill validation + tests + build

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-functions-skills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-functions-skills (17 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 296 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
