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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Rogue Agent · line 3 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00106 | $0.01041 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00416 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00208 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
create-package-skill 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create Package Skill Wizard
Minimal beats comprehensive. Human-written beats auto-generated. Scaffold and iterate.
Skills encode tribal knowledge — the "I wish someone had told me" stuff that's hard to learn from just reading code. Focus on what's non-obvious and package-specific.
Interaction Protocols
CONFIRM Protocol (asset-producing steps — creating files):
- PRESENT the proposed assets and explain why.
- ASK exactly one question: "Create now (recommended), edit first, or skip?"
- ACT immediately. Create → write files this turn. Edit → refine, re-ask. Skip → move on.
DECIDE Protocol (informational/correction steps — no files created):
- PRESENT the information or findings.
- ASK one specific question appropriate to the decision.
- PROCEED based on the answer.
One question at a time. Respect "skip" — never re-ask or defer.
Wizard Flow
Run each phase in order. Progressive loading: Read only the current phase file.
| Phase | Description | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 0 | 🧭 Scan Package — detect architecture, customizations, key files | phases/00-scan-package.md |
| Phase 1 | 📝 Scaffold SKILL.md — generate skill with common pitfalls, architecture, workflow | phases/01-scaffold-skill.md |
| Phase 2 | 📚 Generate References — create architecture.md and customizations.md | phases/02-generate-references.md |
| Phase 3 | Validate -- run vally lint | phases/03-validate.md |
| Phase 4 | 📋 Finalize — confirm discoverable location, summarize | phases/04-finalize.md |
Guardrails
Content:
- Every line must be non-obvious and package-specific. No generic Java/SDK patterns.
- SKILL.md should be under 500 tokens (soft limit). Move details to references/.
- References under 1000 tokens each. Split if larger.
- Never duplicate what's already in
.github/copilot-instructions.mdor shared skills.
What ships with it
7 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.

create-package-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-java (2,565 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 1,041 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
