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 | $0.00191 | $0.00191 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00019 |
Grade A, and why
azure-functions-skills testing.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 1mo 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
Testing Rules
Framework
- This project uses Vitest for all unit tests.
- Test files:
tests/*.test.ts - Run:
npm test(single run) ornpm run test:watch(TDD mode)
TDD Workflow
- Red: Write a failing test that describes the expected behavior.
- Green: Write the minimal implementation to make the test pass.
- Refactor: Improve code quality without changing behavior.
- Repeat for each unit of work.
Test Quality
- Test behavior, not implementation details.
- Cover edge cases and boundary values.
- Include both happy path and error path tests.
- Use descriptive test names:
describe('functionName', () => { it('should do X when Y', ...) }). - Keep tests independent — no shared mutable state between tests.
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 testing.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-functions-skills (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 191 tokens to every session, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
