In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up prices for services such as virtual machines, databases, storage, and Cosmos DB in a chosen Azure region.
Why use it?
It removes the need to search through pricing pages or estimate costs when comparing Azure services or locations.

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-prices 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/jest.config.js, scripts/src/azure-prices.test.ts, scripts/src/azure-prices.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Azure Prices

Fetch and compare live Azure service pricing using the bundled scripts that call the Azure Retail Prices API.

Execution Rules

Always use the bundled npm script for price lookups and comparisons when terminal execution is available.

DO NOT call the Azure Retail Prices API directly. You can only use the script to call the API.

Scripts

All scripts live in ./scripts/ and run via npm:

# List sample service names (discover what's available)
npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices

# Get prices for a service in a region (default region: eastus)
npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices -- "Virtual Machines" eastus

The script accepts two positional arguments:

  1. Service name (required for price lookup) — e.g. "Virtual Machines", "SQL Database", "Storage", "Azure Cosmos DB"
  2. Region (optional, defaults to eastus) — e.g. eastus, westus2, westeurope, southeastasia

When called with no arguments, it prints a sample of available service names.

How to Use

The npm commands below are the preferred execution path for this skill and should be used instead of direct API calls whenever command execution is available.

Single region lookup

Run the script with the service name and region. Present results in a readable table.

Cross-region comparison

To compare prices across regions, run the script multiple times — once per region — then combine the results into a comparison table. For example, to compare Virtual Machines prices across three regions:

npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices -- "Virtual Machines" eastus
npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices -- "Virtual Machines" westus2
npm run --prefix ./scripts get-prices -- "Virtual Machines" westeurope

Then join the results by SKU name to show a side-by-side comparison table with columns for each region.

Finding the cheapest region

Run prices for the target service across several common regions and sort by price. Common Azure regions to compare:

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.
