Azure Developer CLI (azd) is a command-line tool for building, deploying, and operating applications on Azure. Developers use it to move through application workflows such as coding, building, deployment, and monitoring with Azure templates and resources. Its catalogue entries help AI agents work with azd and Azure application projects.

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 | $0.00028 | $0.01394 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00558 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00279 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00139 |
Grade A, and why
agentic-workflows 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 14d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to agentic-workflows — 17 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agentic Workflows Router
Use this skill when a user asks to design, create, update, debug, or upgrade GitHub Agentic Workflows in this repository.
This skill is a dispatcher: identify the task type, load the matching workflow prompt/skill file, and follow it directly. Keep responses concise and ask a clarifying question if the correct prompt is unclear.
Repository overlay (optional):
- If
.github/aw/instructions.mdexists, load it with@.github/aw/instructions.mdafter loading the matched prompt/skill. - Precedence: repository overlay instructions override upstream defaults when they conflict.

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.

agentic-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-dev (570 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,394 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to agentic-workflows, differing in 17 lines, and is treated as a copy.
