azure-cosmosdb-application-developer

azure-cosmosdb-application-developer is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 0 tokens per session (602 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An application-development guide for Azure Cosmos DB, Microsoft's globally distributed NoSQL database for storing document-style data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design documents and partition keys, write queries and point reads, use the SDK, handle consistency, run transactional batches, and process the change feed.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid relational database assumptions that can cause slow queries, expensive cross-partition work, or poor scaling.

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-cosmosdb-application-developer 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 7d 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.

Azure Cosmos DB Application Developer

Purpose

Guide Azure Cosmos DB application-development decisions without pretending relational habits, scan-heavy queries, or cross-partition assumptions will scale safely.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Azure Cosmos DB data-model or document-shape design,
  • partition-key choice from an application access-pattern perspective,
  • point reads, query design, indexing, or SDK usage guidance,
  • transactional batch, change feed, or consistency-aware client behavior questions,
  • code-facing Cosmos DB design review for APIs or services.

Do not use this skill as a substitute for:

  • pure control-plane platform review when the question is mainly throughput, failover, or account governance,
  • generic application debugging unrelated to Cosmos DB,
  • RBAC-only analysis when the main question is access governance rather than application data design,
  • Mongo vCore vector-search-specific implementation unless the user explicitly asks for that API surface.

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when the active client exposes it, then sanitized user evidence.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
  • Challenge broad scope, vague partition keys, and RU-blind advice.
  • Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.

References

Load these only when needed:

  • Operations guide — use for service-specific pitfalls, design rules, verification targets, and pushback criteria.
  • MCP and evidence path — use when choosing documentation-based evidence, sampled read-only Azure evidence, or sanitized user evidence.
  • Safety checklist — use for evidence labels, risk gates, mutation boundaries, approval rules, and credential boundaries.
  • Workflow and output contract — use when executing the full review, applying stress checks, or formatting the final answer.
  • Official sources — use when you need the detailed Microsoft documentation list or source notes.

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.
