az104-cert-buddy: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/az104-study-planner/SKILL.md

az104-study-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from timothywarner-org/az104-cert-buddy. It costs 63 tokens per session (840 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A study-plan generator for the AZ-104 Microsoft Azure administrator certification, using confidence ratings across the exam's skill areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for rating knowledge of Azure identities, storage, compute, networking, and monitoring, then producing a prioritized plan with estimated hours and Microsoft Learn links.
Why use it?
It helps learners focus their limited study time on weaker subjects instead of treating every topic equally.

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

az104-study-planner 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 10d 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.

Skill: az104.study_planner.personalized

Description: Generates a personalized AZ-104 study plan based on the user's self-assessed confidence across exam skill areas, prioritizing weak areas with estimated hours and Microsoft Learn module links.

Grounding

Required sources:

  • references/az104-objectives.md (AZ-104 skills measured, April 2025)
  • Microsoft Learn (access via the Microsoft Learn MCP server using microsoft_docs_search for current Learn module URLs)
  • Use microsoft_docs_fetch to verify Learn module links are current and active

Workflow

  1. Present skill areas with weights. Show the five AZ-104 skill areas and their exam weight percentages:

    Skill Area Exam Weight
    Manage Azure identities and governance 20-25%
    Implement and manage storage 15-20%
    Deploy and manage Azure compute resources 20-25%
    Implement and manage virtual networking 15-20%
    Monitor and maintain Azure resources 10-15%
  2. Ask for confidence ratings. Ask the user to rate their confidence in each area using one of these levels:

    • Strong -- comfortable with most objectives; needs only light review.
    • Moderate -- familiar with the concepts but needs targeted practice.
    • Weak -- limited experience; needs focused study.
    • Unknown -- not sure; treat as weak.
  3. Generate a prioritized study plan. Based on the user's ratings:

    • Order areas from weakest to strongest.
    • Within equal confidence levels, prioritize areas with higher exam weight.
    • For each area, provide:
      • Estimated study hours (weak: 8-12 hours, moderate: 4-6 hours, strong: 1-2 hours).
      • Two to three specific Microsoft Learn module links (grounded via Microsoft Learn MCP server; do not invent URLs).
      • Key objectives to focus on (from references/az104-objectives.md).
    • Include a total estimated hours range at the bottom.
  4. Offer to start practicing. After presenting the plan, ask: "Would you like to start with practice questions or a hands-on lab on [first recommended topic]?"

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.
