azure-expert

azure-expert is a skill for Claude Code from jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience. It costs 59 tokens per session (985 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review guide for Azure cloud workloads, especially systems using agents or large language models. It focuses on identity, permissions, policy, data boundaries, cost, and geographic data residency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing Azure infrastructure, Azure OpenAI or AI Foundry workloads, Bicep or Terraform plans, landing zones, or systems spanning subscriptions or regions.
Why use it?
It helps catch security, compliance, cost, and data-location problems before an Azure system is designed or deployed.

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-expert 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 7d 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 Expert

Azure is policy-first: Entra ID and Azure Policy are the guardrails; the Foundry is the agent surface. If it is not enforced by policy, it is a wish.

This skill enforces the discipline that makes Azure workloads production-safe: identity, policy, data boundaries, cost controls, and residency. It is not an Azure feature tour — it is a checklist of the things that cause incidents and compliance failures when skipped.

When to use

  • Designing any Azure infrastructure (new or modified)
  • Before deploying agents or LLM workloads to Azure (AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Agent Service)
  • When reviewing a Bicep/Terraform plan or a landing-zone design
  • When a system spans subscriptions, touches regulated data, or crosses geographies

Procedure

  1. Identity and access — verify least-privilege for every identity:

    • Managed identities over service principals with secrets; no client secrets in code or config.
    • Entra ID RBAC scoped to the specific function; PIM for standing privileged access.
    • Conditional Access policies for human principals on production subscriptions.
  2. Policy and landing zones — confirm governance is mechanical:

    • Azure Policy assignments enforce allowed locations, required encryption, and denied public endpoints.
    • Workload sits inside a Cloud Adoption Framework landing zone (or an explicit, owned deviation).
  3. Data boundaries — for every data store:

    • Classification recorded (Purview where in scope); CMK where required.
    • Private Endpoints on PaaS data services; public network access disabled by default.
    • Cross-tenant or cross-subscription sharing explicit and documented.
  4. Data residency — for each resource:

    • Allowed-locations policy constrains deployment geography (e.g. EU Data Boundary where required).
    • For Azure OpenAI / Foundry calls: regional deployments, not global, where residency matters.
  5. Cost controls — for every LLM, compute, or storage resource:

    • Cost Management budgets with alerts at 50%, 75%, 90%, 100%.
    • Foundry model quotas and rate limits set; autoscale maximums bounded.

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.

azure-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 985 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
