Token cost

What 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai901-cert-buddy-claude CLAUDE.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 12d 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.

Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository.

What this is

AI-901 Cert Buddy (Claude Code edition). An agentic study companion for Exam AI-901: Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals. It generates exam-realistic practice questions, brief hands-on Microsoft Foundry labs, and personalized study plans, all grounded in Microsoft Learn through the Microsoft Learn MCP server.

This project is a Claude Code port of Tim Warner's original GitHub Copilot "Cert Buddy" (az104-cert-buddy, ai901). The point of the port is to show that the same enterprise workflow carries across both agent platforms, one primitive at a time. See README.md for the full primitive map.

There is no application to build. The artifacts are agent definitions, skills, slash commands, hooks, and MCP configuration.

Slash commands .claude/commands/
Agent Skills .claude/skills/
Hooks .claude/settings.json + .claude/hooks/
MCP servers .mcp.json
Plugin packaging .claude-plugin/

The grounding contract (non-negotiable)

  1. Microsoft Learn first. Ground every fact about Microsoft Foundry, the Foundry SDK, Azure AI services (Language, Speech, Vision), Azure Content Understanding, Azure OpenAI in Microsoft Foundry, and responsible AI in Microsoft Learn, accessed through the MCP server ai901buddy-mslearn.
  2. Use microsoft_docs_search for breadth, then microsoft_docs_fetch for full-page detail, and microsoft_code_sample_search when SDK, CLI, or Bicep syntax accuracy matters.
  3. Cite a real Microsoft Learn URL for every question and every lab. Never invent a URL. If you cannot ground a claim, say so and stop.
  4. Pick objectives from .claude/skills/_references/ai901-objective-domain.md (a verbatim Microsoft Learn sync).

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.
