apex-azure-storage

apex-azure-storage is a skill for Claude Code from jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure Storage guide covering object files, shared folders, queues, key-value tables, and data lakes. These are Azure services for storing files and data or passing work between applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, upload, download, and manage blobs; work with file shares, queues, tables, and data lakes; and plan storage lifecycle changes.
Why use it?
It helps match a storage service to the job instead of treating every storage need as the same. It also covers access tiers and lifecycle settings for managing stored data over time.

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

apex-azure-storage 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 22d 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 Storage Services

Prerequisites

Confirm account, service, authorized operation and data-plane access. Use installed CLI/SDK capabilities; follow the language leaf's version requirements. Obtain separate authorization before uploads, overwrites, lifecycle changes or downloads that replace local files.

Services

Service Use When CLI
Blob Storage Objects, files, backups, static content az storage blob
File Shares SMB file shares, lift-and-shift az storage file
Queue Storage Async messaging, task queues az storage queue
Table Storage NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB) az storage table
Data Lake Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace az storage fs

CLI commands

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --auth-mode login --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --auth-mode login --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH --auth-mode login

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH --auth-mode login

These data-plane commands use the signed-in Entra identity. It needs scoped Storage Blob Data Reader for reads or Storage Blob Data Contributor for writes; management-plane Reader alone is insufficient.

For deeper service docs and patterns, call mcp_azure-mcp_documentation with command: "microsoft_docs_search" and the relevant Azure Storage topic, or follow the links in Service Details.

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.
