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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00196 | $0.02524 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00098 | $0.01262 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00505 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00252 |
Grade A, and why
azure-app-onboard-prereq 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 12d 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 azure-app-onboard-prereq — 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure App Onboard Prereq — Repository Evaluation
Evaluate a user's repository for build health, app completeness, and Azure deployment feasibility — before infrastructure planning. Produces per-component verdicts (PASS/WARN/FAIL) consumed by downstream phases.
Orchestrator relationship: Called by
azure-app-onboardat Step 3, or standalone for code readiness checks. When called by orchestrator, return control toazure-app-onboardafter writing artifacts — do NOT invoke downstream phases directly.
Phase 1 of 4 in AppOnboard pipeline. Session: .copilot-azure/sessions/{session-id}/. Reads context.json. Writes components[], repo{}, detectedInfra[]. Produces prereq-output.json. Schema: prereq-schemas.ts — PrereqOutput, BuildRequirements. Direct entry supported.
When NOT to Use
| Signal | Redirect |
|---|---|
| Validate infrastructure (Bicep/TF/azure.yaml) | azure-validate |
| Generate IaC | azure-prepare |
| End-to-end idea-to-production | azure-app-onboard |

Rules
⛔ ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION —
npm install,npm test,npx jest,pytest, and ALL install/build/test commands are NEVER allowed. Under NO circumstances may you runnpm install,npm test,npx jest,pip install,pytest,dotnet build,dotnet restore,dotnet test,go mod download,cargo build, or ANY package-manager install, build, or test command during the prereq phase. Do NOT run test suites to verify code — check for test config files statically instead. The prereq phase is read-only evaluation + static-only verification. ONLY exception — two sanctioned contexts, both consent-gated: (a) code the agent modified during migration/remediation (see remediation-protocol.md step 6), or (b) code the agent wrote from scratch on the zero-code path (see zero-code-path.md). In either case, install/build/test runs ONLY via the user-confirmed build-validation gate (build-check.md Step 3), after the user answers that specific per-command consent prompt. General prior consent never counts.
What ships with it
15 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.

azure-app-onboard-prereq is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills (1,475 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 196 tokens to every session and 2,524 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to azure-app-onboard-prereq, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
