appinsights-instrumentation

appinsights-instrumentation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autohandai/community-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (815 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of appinsights-instrumentation, Apache-2.0.

Reference material for adding Azure Application Insights telemetry to ASP.NET Core and Node.js web apps. Application Insights is an Azure service that records application behaviour, such as requests and failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn SDK setup, telemetry patterns, and application monitoring guidance; use a separate implementation tool when changing the project.
Why use it?
It explains the setup and design choices needed to collect useful application data without guessing which SDK patterns fit the app.

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

appinsights-instrumentation 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 9d 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.

AppInsights Instrumentation Guide

This skill provides guidance and reference material for instrumenting webapps with Azure Application Insights.

⛔ ADDING COMPONENTS?

If the user wants to add App Insights to their app, invoke azure-prepare instead. This skill provides reference material—azure-prepare orchestrates the actual changes.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks how to instrument (guidance, patterns, examples)
  • User needs SDK setup instructions
  • azure-prepare invokes this skill during research phase
  • User wants to understand App Insights concepts

When to Use azure-prepare Instead

  • User says "add telemetry to my app"
  • User says "add App Insights"
  • User wants to modify their project
  • Any request to change/add components

Prerequisites

The app in the workspace must be one of these kinds

  • An ASP.NET Core app hosted in Azure
  • A Node.js app hosted in Azure

Guidelines

Collect context information

Find out the (programming language, application framework, hosting) tuple of the application the user is trying to add telemetry support in. This determines how the application can be instrumented. Read the source code to make an educated guess. Confirm with the user on anything you don't know. You must always ask the user where the application is hosted (e.g. on a personal computer, in an Azure App Service as code, in an Azure App Service as container, in an Azure Container App, etc.).

Prefer auto-instrument if possible

If the app is a C# ASP.NET Core app hosted in Azure App Service, use AUTO guide to help user auto-instrument the app.

Manually instrument

Manually instrument the app by creating the AppInsights resource and update the app's code.

Create AppInsights resource

Use one of the following options that fits the environment.

  • Add AppInsights to existing Bicep template. See examples/appinsights.bicep for what to add. This is the best option if there are existing Bicep template files in the workspace.
  • Use Azure CLI. See scripts/appinsights.ps1 for what Azure CLI command to execute to create the App Insights resource.

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.
