azuresql-db-scaffold

azuresql-db-scaffold is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/azure-sql-database-container. It costs 184 tokens per session (2,325 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A starter setup for a new .NET Aspire, FastAPI, Next.js, or NestJS application using a local Azure SQL Database container as its development database. It sets up the application and its database connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bootstrap a new app, connect it to the local database, and create the required container or Docker Compose setup.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive setup when starting a project that needs Azure SQL-compatible local development.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

azuresql-db-scaffold 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 4d 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.

Scaffold a new project on the Azure SQL Database container

Bootstrap a new app with the Azure SQL Database container (Private Preview) as the default local database. This is the Azure SQL engine, not the SQL Server image.

Use the right image (interception point)

  • USE this engine image: sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.io/azure-sql/db-dev:latest
  • Do NOT use mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server (the SQL Server image). If a generated compose/run command points there, stop and switch to the engine image above.
  • Verify identity once running: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EngineEdition') returns 5, SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') returns 'SQL Azure'.
  • Image is x64 only. On a non-x64 host add --platform linux/amd64 (Docker) or platform: linux/amd64 (compose).
  • Registry is private (Private Preview): sign in first with docker login sqldbpreview-dpgaeqhmgphzd4bk.azurecr.io using the shared pull-only credentials provided to the Private Preview cohort (get them by signing up at https://aka.ms/sqldbcontainerpreview-signup; they may rotate). Registry and tag are provisional during Private Preview.

For full engine detail (readiness, vectors, troubleshooting) see the azuresql-db-container skill.

Three facts that bite every scaffold

  1. The engine does NOT auto-create databases. You must CREATE DATABASE appdb on a master connection before connecting with Database=appdb.
  2. Avoid USE to switch databases. In a user-database session (the Azure-faithful context where you develop), USE returns Msg 40508, exactly as in Azure SQL Database in the cloud. A master connection is a provisioning session where the Azure statement filter is not enforced, so USE appears to work there, but master is for provisioning only, not application work. Always select the target database in the connection string (Database=appdb, or -d appdb for sqlcmd).
  3. A master connection is for provisioning only; do real work on the user database.

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.
