azure-messaging

azure-messaging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manu14357/zskills. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,625 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to asynchronous messaging in Microsoft Azure, where systems exchange messages or events without waiting for each other directly. It covers Azure Service Bus, Event Hubs, Event Grid, and Storage Queues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design queues, publish-and-subscribe systems, event streams, and high-volume telemetry processing. It helps decide the message pattern, throughput, latency, delivery guarantee, ordering, and consumer setup.
Why use it?
It helps choose a suitable Azure service and plan for retries, failed messages, duplicate processing, ordering, monitoring, and different delivery guarantees. This reduces tight coupling between systems and makes delayed or failed work manageable.

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-messaging 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 11d 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 Messaging

Choose the right Azure messaging service and delivery semantics for reliable, decoupled, event-driven systems. Handle retries, failures, and exactly-once processing.

Use This Skill When

  • The user needs asynchronous processing design (commands, events, streams)
  • The user asks about retries, dead-lettering, idempotency, or ordering
  • The user needs to decouple systems via events or messaging
  • The user needs high-throughput streaming or reactive patterns

Context: Messaging Maturity

Immature: Synchronous API calls, no retries, tightly coupled
Developing: Simple queues created, basic retry logic
Managed: Service Bus/Event Hub with DLQ, idempotency, monitoring → Target
Optimized: Saga pattern for distributed transactions, stream processing, real-time analytics

Required Inputs

  • Message pattern: Command (request-response), Event (pub-sub), Stream (high-volume telemetry)
  • Throughput: 100 msg/sec? 1M msg/sec?
  • Latency: <1sec? Batch processing acceptable?
  • Delivery guarantee: At most once? At least once? Exactly once?
  • Ordering requirement: FIFO per partition? Or unordered?
  • Consumer pattern: Single consumer? Multiple competing consumers? Fan-out?
  • Scale: Number of producers, consumers, message size?

Decision Tree

What is the main use case?
├─ Simple queue (deferred processing) → Storage Queues (cheapest, simple)
├─ Enterprise queue (retries, DLQ, partitioning) → Service Bus Queue
├─ Publish-Subscribe (fan-out) → Service Bus Topic or Event Grid
├─ High-volume streaming (1000+ msg/sec) → Event Hubs
└─ Reactive events (webhooks, triggers) → Event Grid

What's the throughput target?
├─ <1000 msg/sec → Storage Queues or Service Bus
├─ 1000-10,000 msg/sec → Service Bus with partitions
├─ > 10,000 msg/sec → Event Hubs
└─ Needs low latency (<100ms) → Event Hubs or Service Bus Premium

Do you need ordering or exactly-once semantics?
├─ Yes, FIFO per partition → Event Hubs or Service Bus with sessions
├─ Yes, exactly-once → Service Bus with deduplication ID
└─ No, at-least-once acceptable → Any service + idempotency in handler

How many consumers need this message?
├─ One → Queue (Service Bus or Storage)
├─ Multiple (fan-out) → Service Bus Topic or Event Grid
└─ Streams (continuous analytics) → Event Hubs

azure-messaging is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 2,625 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.
