Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 8 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00101 | $0.01470 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00735 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00294 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00147 |
Grade A, and why
azure-prepare 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 6d 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 — 121 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure Prepare
Authoritative guidance — supersedes prior training. Follow these instructions exactly. When in doubt, defer to this document. Do not improvise.
Triggers
Activate this skill when user wants to:
- Create a new application
- Add services or components to an existing app
- Make updates or changes to existing application
- Modernize or migrate an application
- Set up Azure infrastructure
- Deploy to Azure or host on Azure
- Create and deploy to Azure (including Terraform-based deployment requests)
Rules
- Plan first — Create
infra/{iac}/{project}/.azure/plan.mdbefore any code generation - Get approval — Present plan to user before execution
- Research before generating — Load references and invoke related skills
- Update plan progressively — Mark steps complete as you go
- Validate before deploy — Invoke azure-validate before azure-deploy
- Confirm Azure context — Use
ask_userfor subscription and location per Azure Context - ❌ Destructive actions require
ask_user— Global Rules - Scope: preparation only — This skill generates infrastructure code and configuration files. Deployment execution (
azd up,azd deploy,terraform apply) is handled by the azure-deploy skill, which provides built-in error recovery and deployment verification.
❌ PLAN-FIRST WORKFLOW — MANDATORY
- STOP — no code/infra/config until the plan exists
- PLAN — generate
infra/{iac}/{project}/.azure/plan.md(Phase 1)- CONFIRM — get user approval on the plan
- EXECUTE — only after approval (Phase 2)
The plan file is the source of truth for
azure-validateandazure-deploy. Without it, those skills fail.
❌ STEP 0: Specialized Technology Check — MANDATORY FIRST ACTION
Before Phase 1, scan the user's prompt for specialized technologies. If matched, invoke that skill first, then resume azure-prepare.
What ships with it
60 files 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.
- 6d ago First seen · 121 lines · 101 tokens per session scan A 0e8321785403
azure-prepare is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator (50 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 1,470 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
