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 | $0.00027 | $0.02251 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00900 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00450 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00225 |
Grade A, and why
n8n-azure scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
The hook must use argument arrays to call `azd` and `az`; it must not assemble shell command strings. On Mac and Linux, call each executable directly. On Windows, `.cmd` shims cannot be launched through `execFileSync()` This is a copy
100% identical to n8n-azure — 3 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.

n8n Azure Configuration Skill
Application-specific configuration for deploying n8n to Azure Container Apps with PostgreSQL. Infrastructure should be generated fresh by the azure-prepare → azure-validate → azure-deploy pipeline.
Prerequisites and Portability
Require Azure CLI, Azure Developer CLI 1.28.0 or later, and Node.js LTS or later. Generated lifecycle hooks must be CommonJS JavaScript (.js) or TypeScript (.ts) files referenced directly from azure.yaml; azd 1.28.0 rejects .mjs hook paths. Do not generate Bash-only .sh or PowerShell-only .ps1 hooks. See ../../../docs/tool-installation.md for Windows, Mac, and Linux installation options.
azure.yaml has no services: block. The Container App's public image is set in Bicep, so azd has nothing to package. A service with image: makes azd pull the image through local Docker, which fails on Windows hosts running Windows containers and makes Docker a requirement. See the container-apps-deployment skill.
Critical: Subscription Context
ALWAYS set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID explicitly before running azd up. Read it with az account show --query id -o tsv, then pass the returned value to azd env set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID <subscription-id>. Do not emit Bash command substitution when the operating system is unknown.
Critical: PostgreSQL AVM Defaults
📖 See ../config/postgresql-avm-defaults.md for all PostgreSQL AVM gotchas (publicNetworkAccess, passwordAuth, HA, password pinning). Without these settings, n8n will fail with "authentication failed" or "connection timeout".
n8n-specific: Pin POSTGRES_PASSWORD and N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY in the azd environment so redeployments keep the same values. Generate both with Node's crypto.randomBytes() or another cryptographically secure platform API. Do not require openssl, and do not create N8N_AUTH_PASSWORD; current n8n releases use built-in owner-account management rather than the removed N8N_BASIC_AUTH_* variables.
What ships with it
3 files 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.

n8n-azure is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/agentic-journeys (6 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 2,251 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). It is 100% identical to n8n-azure, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
