Azure SDK for .NET is a repository containing the actively developed C# libraries that applications use to work with Azure services. It is for .NET developers building software that connects to Azure storage, management, and other cloud services.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.02418 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01209 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00484 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
provisioning-library-generation 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 10d 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 — 253 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Provisioning Library Generation
This skill covers two related generation workflows for Azure.Provisioning.* libraries:
- Onboarding — introducing a brand new
Azure.Provisioning.{Service}package. - Regeneration — updating an existing package to add new resources, enum values, or API versions.
Start here: Use Workflow Selection below to choose the correct process before doing anything else.
Workflow Selection
Is this onboarding or regeneration?
- If
sdk/{service}/Azure.Provisioning.{Service}/already exists → Regeneration. Jump to Regeneration Workflow. - If it does NOT exist → Onboarding. Read and follow
ONBOARDING.mdin this skill directory. New provisioning libraries are onboarded through the TypeSpec provisioning emitter.
Regeneration Workflow
(For existing packages — adding new resources, enum values, or API versions.)
Step 1: Determine If Management Library Version Update Is Needed
Key principle: Only update the management library version if explicitly requested or if the feature doesn't exist in the current version. Prefer not updating to reduce the amount of changes.
-
If the requirement explicitly says "update the version" → Update the version (proceed to Step 2A)
-
If the requirement does NOT explicitly request a version update:
- Check if the feature already exists in the current management library:
# Search for the resource/feature in the management library grep -r "NetworkSecurityPerimeterResource" sdk/{service}/Azure.ResourceManager.{Service}/ - If the feature exists → Skip version update, proceed to Step 2B
- If the feature doesn't exist → You'll need to update the version (proceed to Step 2A)
- Check if the feature already exists in the current management library:
Step 2A: Update Management Library Version (If Needed)
Edit eng/centralpackagemanagement/Directory.Packages.props to update the management library version:
<PackageVersion Include="Azure.ResourceManager.{ServiceName}" Version="{NewVersion}" />
What ships with it
1 file 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.

provisioning-library-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-net (6,049 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 2,418 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
