microsoft/agentic-journeys is a collection of guided projects that shows how AI coding agents and skills can plan, build, and deploy applications on Azure. It is for developers building Azure applications and teams evaluating agent-assisted development workflows, including APIs, databases, frontends, and AI features. The catalogue entries supply skills, agents, and instructions used in these journeys.

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 | $0.00153 | $0.09278 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00061 | $0.03711 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.01856 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00928 |
Grade A, and why
journey-template scanned grade A with 2 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 1mo 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.

For example, n8n's `WEBHOOK_URL` depends on the Container App URL. The CommonJS `.js` hook resolves paths with `__dirname`, reads outputs with `azd env get-value`, and invokes Azure CLI with argument arrays. It must not This is a copy

Journey Template Skill
Generate a complete agentic journey from a user's app idea. A journey is a hands-on learning experience where developers use GitHub Copilot (CLI, app, or IDE) to build and deploy an app to Azure.
Curriculum packaging (required)
Every journey README must include:
- No journey-sequence or learning-path numbering such as "Journey 2 of 5" — journeys are self-contained. Numbered phases and steps inside one journey are encouraged when they clarify the flow.
- Cost if left running + same-day teardown. No time estimates; a journey-at-a-glance image shows the steps only
- Done when checklist with concrete manual verification steps
- Full-stack: one-line default stack at the first generate prompt (not a defaults table); put stack details in PLAN.md
- Plugin commands: only
microsoft/azure-skills/azure@azure-skills - What's Next uses plain links to related journeys, not prescribed-path or completion language
- OSS: shared deploy recipe (location, secrets, probes, resolve issues, issues.md)
- An isolated-workspace setup prompt that copies the journey,
.github/agents,.github/skills,.github/scripts, anddocswithout modifying the source repository - A prerequisite table, concrete local/Azure acceptance criteria, and a reusable exact-error recovery prompt
- A prompt that creates every generated verifier or diagnostic script before the README tells the learner to run it
- A read-only pre-deployment review with READY/NOT READY, PASS/FAIL evidence, and fail-closed blockers
- Agent-led azd environment preparation, followed by the learner running the consequential
azd upcommand - No checked-in journey
issues.md: prompts create it only in the isolated learner workspace when a real issue occurs
Update root README.md learning path + journey table when adding a journey.
Journey Types
| Dimension | Full-Stack (e.g. AIMarket) | OSS Deployment (e.g. n8n, Grafana, Superset) |
|---|---|---|
| What the learner does | Builds an app from scratch with GitHub Copilot | Deploys an existing OSS app via @oss-to-azure-deployer agent |
| Files generated | README.md + PLAN.md | README.md + app-specific skill in .github/skills/ |
| README structure | "The Journey" with 3-5 phases (adapt to app complexity) | "Deploy with the Agent" with 3 steps (Setup → Deploy → Verify) |
| Images | 4-6 (one per phase boundary) | 2 (hero + deployment) |
| Unique sections | "The Spec", "How Agentic AI is Used", one-line default stack at first prompt | "Configuration Reference", "Key Learnings", skip rules if expensive |
| Compute target | Container Apps, App Service, Functions, Static Web Apps, AKS | Container Apps, AKS, App Service |
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.

journey-template is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/agentic-journeys (6 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 153 tokens to every session and 9,278 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). It is 100% identical to journey-template, differing in 49 lines, and is treated as a copy.
