azure-ai-deploy

azure-ai-deploy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from timothywarner-org/claude-code. It costs 107 tokens per session (701 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for putting a Python generative-AI application on Microsoft Azure without API keys, using identity-based sign-in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Python chat, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), or agent applications that call Azure OpenAI. It helps configure Azure access, managed identity, and the files needed by Azure Developer CLI.
Why use it?
It keeps secrets out of source code and sets up a repeatable deployment process. It also checks key requirements before sending the application live.

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

azure-ai-deploy 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (resources/scripts/preflight.py, resources/templates/chat_client.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Ship a Python GenAI app to Azure (keyless)

This skill deploys a Python generative-AI service to Azure with no API keys in source. Authentication is via Microsoft Entra ID token (DefaultAzureCredential) locally and managed identity on Azure compute. Deployment runs through azd (Azure Developer CLI), which provisions and deploys in one workflow.

When to reach for this

  • You have a Python GenAI app (chat, RAG, agent) that calls Azure OpenAI and you want it in Azure.
  • You want the keyless pattern so no secret is stored in code, config, or environment.
  • You need a repeatable pre-deploy gate before a live class or a production push.

Workflow

1. Read the auth pattern first

Read resources/references/AZURE-AUTH.md. It covers why keys stay out of code, how DefaultAzureCredential resolves an identity across local and cloud, and which RBAC role the app identity needs on the Azure OpenAI resource.

2. Scaffold the client and config

Copy the templates into the target project and edit for the real service:

  • resources/templates/chat_client.py - keyless Azure OpenAI client. Reads endpoint and deployment from env vars. No key.
  • resources/templates/azure.yaml - minimal azd config for a Python container app.

3. Set required environment

The app reads two values from the process environment, never from hardcoded strings:

  • AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT - the resource endpoint, for example https://contoso-aoai.openai.azure.com/
  • AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT - the model deployment name, for example gpt-4o-chat

4. Run preflight

uv run python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/resources/scripts/preflight.py

The script verifies both env vars are set and non-empty. It exits non-zero when a value is missing, so it fails a CI step before any provisioning starts.

5. Work the deploy checklist

Read resources/references/DEPLOY-CHECKLIST.md and clear every gate: evals passed, secrets stored in Azure Key Vault, then azd provision followed by azd deploy.

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.
