Azure SDK for Java is a collection of Java libraries that let applications connect to and manage Azure services. Java developers use its client libraries to consume services and its management libraries to configure Azure resources. The catalogue add-ons support development with these libraries.

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 | $0.00202 | $0.01723 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00101 | $0.00861 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00040 | $0.00345 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00172 |
Grade A, and why
azsdk-common-generate-sdk-locally 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 11d 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
100% identical to azsdk-common-generate-sdk-locally — 0 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Generate SDK Locally
This skill generates, builds, and tests Azure SDKs locally from TypeSpec with automatic customization support, covering the end-to-end workflow for fixing generation issues, applying SDK-specific updates, and refreshing package metadata when needed.
Triggers
USE FOR: generate, build, and test Azure SDKs locally from TypeSpec with automatic customization; update changelog; fix SDK build errors; fix breaking changes; resolve SDK generation errors; customize TypeSpec; rename SDK client or model; hide operation from SDK; fix analyzer errors; resolve customization drift; create subclient; update metadata; update version WHEN: "generate SDK locally", "build SDK", "run SDK tests", "update changelog", "fix SDK build errors", "fix breaking changes", "resolve SDK generation errors", "customize TypeSpec", "rename SDK client", "rename SDK model", "hide operation from SDK", "fix analyzer errors", "resolve customization drift", "create subclient", "update metadata", "update version" DO NOT USE FOR: publishing to package registries, CI pipeline configuration, API design review
Rules
- Requires the
azure-sdk-mcpserver for the MCP workflow; without MCP, usenpm exec --prefix eng/common/tsp-client -- tsp-clientCLI. - Verify the target language repo and the correct TypeSpec configuration file before generation.
- After generation or customization, run the check and test steps before updating metadata or finalizing changes.

What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
