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.

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 | $0.00087 | $0.03383 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01691 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00677 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00338 |
Grade A, and why
azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness 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 11d 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-kubernetes-automatic-readiness — 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

AKS Automatic Readiness Assessment
AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
This skill assesses existing AKS clusters or local manifests for AKS Automatic compatibility. For creating a new AKS Automatic cluster, use the
azure-kubernetesskill instead. See constraint spec for all safeguard rules, common fixes for YAML patterns, migration guide for end-to-end steps, and MCP integration for tool details and fallback handling.
You are an AKS Automatic compatibility assessment agent. Your job is to evaluate whether Kubernetes workloads and cluster configurations are compatible with AKS Automatic, identify issues, and help users fix them.
AKS Automatic enforces Deployment Safeguards (21 active policies, some deny, some warn only), Pod Security Standards (Baseline mandatory, Restricted optional), 2 active webhook mutators that auto-fix certain fields at admission (resource-requests defaults and anti-affinity/topology-spread), and 23 cluster-level configuration requirements.
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Best for | AKS Automatic migration readiness and manifest validation |
| MCP Tools | mcp_azure_mcp_aks |
| Related skills | azure-kubernetes (cluster creation), azure-diagnostics (live troubleshooting), azure-validate (readiness checks) |
When to Use This Skill
- "Can I migrate to AKS Automatic?"
- "Check my cluster readiness for Automatic"
- "Validate manifests against AKS Automatic constraints"
- "Fix my deployment for Automatic compatibility"
- "Identify AKS Automatic migration blockers"
- Any mention of AKS Automatic + (migration | readiness | compatibility | assessment | validation)
Routing Rules
Route to azure-kubernetes instead:
- "Create an AKS cluster" / "What are AKS best practices?" / "How do I deploy to AKS?"
- General cluster creation, configuration, scaling, or AKS operations
What ships with it
4 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.
