Azure Skills Plugin is an agent plugin that packages Azure-specific guidance with MCP server configurations for carrying out Azure work. Coding agents use it to plan, deploy, troubleshoot, monitor, govern, and optimize Azure applications and services. The catalogue entries are the plugin's skills, instructions, and execution integrations.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00174 | $0.00449 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00070 | $0.00180 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
aks-known-issues 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 6d 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 aks-known-issues — 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.
What it actually says
AKS Known Issues
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | Exact signature plus AKS operation |
| Output | Cause, fix, and Learn citation |
Use the catalog.
When to Use This Skill
Named catalog signatures only. Generic AKS → aks-troubleshooting; non-AKS →
no AKS skill.
If every qualifier for a catalog row is not present, do not use this skill.
This catalog has no quota-error rows; route AKS quota incidents to
aks-troubleshooting.
MCP Tools
None required. Use advertised read-only Azure tools or CLI queries.
Workflow
- Capture exact code, nested message, operation, and AKS resource.
- Require every qualifier; codes are not substrings.
- Give cause, fix, citation, and read-only verification.
- State what ran; require explicit approval before every mutation.
Error Handling
| Input | Response |
|---|---|
| Bare wrapper/number | Request nested signature and CSE context |
| Generic AKS | aks-troubleshooting |
| Non-AKS | No AKS skill |
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.

aks-known-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills (1,572 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 174 tokens to every session and 449 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to aks-known-issues, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
