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 | $0.00109 | $0.01758 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00703 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00352 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00176 |
Grade A, and why
journey-test-harness 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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to journey-test-harness — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Journey Test Harness
Orchestrate journey-runner across the selected journey directories. The harness must work on Windows, Mac, and Linux and must never delete an Azure environment merely because it appears in azd env list.
Inputs
- Journeys, default
all - Stack, default Node.js/TypeScript for multi-stack journeys
- Deploy, default
true - Location, default
westus - Concurrency, default
1; increase only when quota, local ports, and API limits allow it
Each deployed journey uses cleanup: after-verification unless the user explicitly requests otherwise.
Step 1: Discover Journeys
Use repository file-search APIs or Node.js fs.readdir() to find journeys/*/README.md. Do not use ls | sed, shell globs, or platform-specific path parsing.
For each journey, record:
- Folder name and absolute source path
- Journey type
PLAN.mdpresence- Required and optional tools from the journey prerequisite section
- Estimated cost and time
- Screenshot requirement
Filter only against the discovered folder names. Fail early for an unknown requested journey.
Step 2: Suite Preflight
Load journey-runner and run its cross-platform preflight before creating any workspace or Azure resource.
The union of selected-journey requirements may include:
- Node.js LTS or later
- Azure CLI and valid authentication
azd1.28.0 or later withauth.useAzCliAuth=true- GitHub Copilot CLI
- Node.js LTS or later for hooks, tests, and verifiers
- Azure Functions Core Tools v4, Azurite, and Go-based
sqlcmdfor SmartTodo - The pinned Playwright package and bundled Chromium for web screenshots
- Xcode 16+ only when SmartTodo iOS execution is requested on Mac
Use .github/skills/journey-runner/scripts/check-prerequisites.mjs with the union of required tools. Missing required tools stop the whole suite before provider registration. Do not install system tools during the suite.
Step 3: Azure Preparation
Check Azure CLI and azd authentication separately. Confirm the intended subscription and location.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
