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-cloud 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 4d 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 Cloud

I help you work with Azure services efficiently. Instead of loading everything upfront, I guide you to exactly what you need.

Quick Start

Tell me what you're trying to do. I'll point you to the right domain, tools, and documentation.

Domains

Domain Use When File
Data Querying databases, Cosmos DB, SQL, Redis, data pipelines domains/data/README.md
Compute Deploying apps, Functions, containers, AKS, App Service domains/compute/README.md
Storage Blob storage, file shares, queues, Data Lake domains/storage/README.md
Security Key Vault, RBAC, managed identities, Entra ID domains/security/README.md
AI AI Search, Speech, Foundry, vector search, cognitive services domains/ai/README.md
Networking VNets, load balancers, DNS, Front Door, private endpoints domains/networking/README.md
Observability Monitoring, logging, alerts, App Insights, Log Analytics domains/observability/README.md

By Scenario

Scenario File
Validate before deploying scenarios/validation.md
Deploy an application scenarios/deployment.md
Debug production issues scenarios/diagnostics.md
Install Azure CLI tools (az, azd, func) scenarios/cli-tools.md
Configure Node.js/Express for Azure scenarios/nodejs-production.md
Reduce Azure costs scenarios/cost-optimization.md
Secure your resources scenarios/security-hardening.md

Tools

Tool Type When to Use File
MCP Server Rich data access, schema browsing, pagination mcp/setup.md
Azure CLI (az) Resource management, scripting, queries cli/cheatsheet.md
Azure Developer CLI (azd) Application deployment (infrastructure + code) cli/cheatsheet.md

How to Use This Skill

  1. Identify the relevant domain or scenario from the tables above
  2. Read that file: domains/data/README.md or scenarios/deployment.md
  3. Follow instructions there - they reference MCP tools, CLI commands, or deeper docs
  4. For service-specific details, the domain README points to service files

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.
