azure-diagnostics

azure-diagnostics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manu14357/zskills. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,300 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for diagnosing problems in Azure applications and infrastructure, using logs, metrics, traces, and relationships between services. Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate downtime, latency, connectivity, identity, DNS, scaling, quota, configuration-drift, data-integrity, or security issues and to validate proposed fixes.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to narrow down outages, slowdowns, failed deployments, configuration changes, data problems, and security incidents instead of guessing at the cause.

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-diagnostics 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 12d 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 Diagnostics

Troubleshoot Azure problems systematically: narrow scope, gather evidence, form hypotheses, validate fixes. Use structured root cause analysis to prevent recurrence.

Use This Skill When

  • The user reports application downtime, errors, or performance regression
  • Deployments succeed but service behavior is broken or degraded
  • There are connectivity, identity, DNS, scaling, or quota issues
  • Configuration drift or unexpected resource state is observed
  • Error messages are cryptic or originating from dependent services

Context: Incident Classification

Availability (0% traffic passing): Database down, network cut, authentication broken
Degradation (partial traffic/slowness): High latency, connection pool exhaustion, throttling
Configuration drift: Resource settings changed outside IaC, policy violation, quota exceeded
Data integrity: Corruption, replication lag, backup failure
Security: Unauthorized access, malicious activity, compliance violation

Required Inputs

  • Affected resources: Service name, region, resource group
  • Symptom timeline: Start time, duration, frequency (one-off or recurring)
  • Error signals: HTTP status codes, error messages, exception stack traces, correlation IDs
  • Recent changes: Deployment, config update, DNS change, certificate rotation, network topology
  • Expected vs. observed: What should happen vs. what actually happened
  • User impact: How many users? Business tier? SLA breach?

Decision Tree

Is the service completely unavailable (0% traffic)?
├─ Yes → Check Azure Service Health, then check compute (app/function) status
│         ├─ Resource deleted/stopped? → Restart or redeploy
│         ├─ Resource failed to start? → Check startup logs, quotas
│         └─ Resource healthy but unreachable? → Check network, DNS, firewall
└─ No (partial/slow) → Proceed to performance analysis

Did this occur after a recent deployment or change?
├─ Yes → Suspect new code, config, or infrastructure
│         ├─ Rollback or undo change → Verify symptom resolves
│         └─ If resolved: Root cause is the change; analyze diff
└─ No → Suspect environmental change, quota, or dependent service

Is the issue isolated to one region/subscription or widespread?
├─ Isolated → Check resource-specific logs, networking, IAM
└─ Widespread → Check Azure platform status, quotas, throttling

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.

azure-diagnostics is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,300 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.
