azure-compute

azure-compute is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autohandai/community-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (2,155 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A recommendation tool for choosing Azure virtual machines and VM Scale Sets. A VM is a cloud computer, while a scale set manages multiple VMs for workloads that need scaling or high availability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose VM sizes, compare VM families, estimate VM costs, and decide between a single VM and a scale set.
Why use it?
It helps compare performance, scaling, and price when deciding which Azure compute setup fits a workload.

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-compute 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 8d 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.

Azure Compute Skill

Recommend Azure VM sizes, VM Scale Sets (VMSS), and configurations by analyzing workload type, performance requirements, scaling needs, and budget. No Azure subscription required — all data comes from public Microsoft documentation and the unauthenticated Retail Prices API.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks which Azure VM or VMSS to choose for a workload
  • User needs VM size recommendations for web, database, ML, batch, HPC, or other workloads
  • User wants to compare VM families, sizes, or pricing tiers
  • User asks about trade-offs between VM options (cost vs performance)
  • User needs a cost estimate for Azure VMs without an Azure account
  • User asks whether to use a single VM or a scale set
  • User needs autoscaling, high availability, or load-balanced VM recommendations
  • User asks about VMSS orchestration modes (Flexible vs Uniform)

Workflow

Use reference files for initial filtering

CRITICAL: then always verify with live documentation from learn.microsoft.com before making final recommendations. If web_fetch fails, use reference files as fallback but warn the user the information may be stale.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user for (infer when possible):

Requirement Examples
Workload type Web server, relational DB, ML training, batch processing, dev/test
vCPU / RAM needs "4 cores, 16 GB RAM" or "lightweight" / "heavy"
GPU needed? Yes → GPU families; No → general/compute/memory
Storage needs High IOPS, large temp disk, premium SSD
Budget priority Cost-sensitive, performance-first, balanced
OS Linux or Windows (affects pricing)
Region Affects availability and price
Instance count Single instance, fixed count, or variable/dynamic
Scaling needs None, manual scaling, autoscale based on metrics or schedule
Availability needs Best-effort, fault-domain isolation, cross-zone HA
Load balancing Not needed, Azure Load Balancer (L4), Application Gateway (L7)

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.
