azure-app-service

azure-app-service is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 36 tokens per session (584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to hosting web apps, REST APIs, mobile backends, and static websites on Microsoft Azure App Service, a managed cloud hosting platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Deploying applications written in ASP.NET, Node.js, Python, or Java; hosting APIs and microservices; running containerized apps; and configuring scaling or multi-region deployments.
Why use it?
It removes much of the work of setting up and operating servers for an Azure-hosted application. It covers deployment, scaling, deployment slots, SSL/TLS, and monitoring.

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

azure-app-service 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-schema.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Azure App Service

Table of Contents

Overview

Azure App Service provides a fully managed platform for building and hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile backends. Support multiple programming languages with integrated DevOps, security, and high availability.

When to Use

  • Web applications (ASP.NET, Node.js, Python, Java)
  • REST APIs and microservices
  • Mobile app backends
  • Static website hosting
  • Production applications requiring scale
  • Applications needing auto-scaling
  • Multi-region deployments
  • Containerized applications

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Login to Azure
az login

# Create resource group
az group create --name myapp-rg --location eastus

# Create App Service Plan
az appservice plan create \
  --name myapp-plan \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --sku P1V2 \
  --is-linux

# Create web app
az webapp create \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --plan myapp-plan \
  --name myapp-web \
  --deployment-container-image-name nodejs:18

# Configure app settings
az webapp config appsettings set \
  --resource-group myapp-rg \
  --name myapp-web \
  --settings \
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use deployment slots for zero-downtime deployments
  • Enable Application Insights
  • Configure autoscaling based on metrics
  • Use managed identity for Azure services
  • Enable HTTPS only
  • Store secrets in Key Vault
  • Monitor performance metrics
  • Implement health checks

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.
