Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00112 | $0.02070 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.00828 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00414 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
apex-azure-artifacts 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 20d 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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure Artifacts Skill
Owns artifact structures and styling, not workflow decisions. Required H2s
come from the heading registry; full templates live in templates/ and
references/ provide navigation summaries. Read the full template for current writes.
The workflow graph, role contract, current reviews and human approval own routing
and completion; templates never advance a step or authorize an operation.
Rules
Mandatory Compliance
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Template skeleton | Read the full step template from templates/; summaries are navigation |
| Exact text | Use H2 text from templates verbatim |
| Exact order | Required H2s appear in the order listed |
| Anchor rule | Extra sections allowed ONLY after last required H2 |
| No omissions | Every H2 listed must appear in output |
| Attribution | > Generated by {agent} agent | {YYYY-MM-DD} |
DO / DON'T
- DO: Read the step-specific template before generating
- DO: Copy H2 text character-for-character (including emoji)
- DO: Save all output to
agent-output/{project}/ - DON'T: Reorder H2 headings from the listed sequence
- DON'T: Use placeholder text like "TBD" or "Insert here"
- DON'T: Add custom H2 sections BEFORE the last required H2
Mandatory: Project README
Every project in agent-output/{project}/ MUST have a
README.md.
After saving step artifact(s), update the README:
- Reflect verified graph/session status in
## ✅ Workflow Progress; a write alone is not completion - Add artifact files to
## 📄 Generated Artifacts - Update
Last Updatedand derive progress from current required/optional graph nodes, including Governance. Partial output, pending reviews and approval remain incomplete.

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.

apex-azure-artifacts is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator (50 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,070 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 2026-09-23.
