azure-networking

azure-networking is a skill for Claude Code from Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Azure networking services such as virtual networks, private connections, load balancers, gateways, and DNS. It also covers common layouts for connecting these services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create virtual networks and subnets, connect networks, configure private endpoints, set up load balancing, manage DNS, and build hub-and-spoke networks.
Why use it?
It helps you plan and configure Azure networks without piecing together commands and patterns yourself. It clarifies how to keep cloud services private and how to route traffic.

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-networking 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.

Private Endpoint Pattern

Connect to PaaS services privately:

  1. Create private endpoint in your VNet
  2. Disable public access on PaaS resource
  3. Configure private DNS zone
  4. Access service via private IP

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.
