Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00070 | $0.02733 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.01093 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00547 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00273 |
Grade A, and why
azure-maestro 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure Maestro
Purpose and Philosophy
Azure Maestro is a per-cloud routing layer, modelled on the principle behind Kiro's Auto model: automatically select the best-quality, narrowest-scope specialist (or specialist team) for the task at hand — so the user does not have to know the catalog.
The router's job is:
- Classify the task into one or more domains.
- Select the narrowest matching specialist agent(s) from the catalog.
- Dispatch: single specialist for one-domain tasks, parallel team for multi-domain tasks, with a hard gate for live-guard agents.
Maestro does not answer Azure questions itself. It routes to the agent that should answer.
When NOT to Use This Skill
Skip Maestro entirely when:
- The user already knows the exact catalog agent ID they want — invoke that agent directly. This bypass applies only to named catalog agents, not to general questions or comparisons.
- You are already operating inside a specialist agent — do not re-route from within a specialist.
If the task is not Azure-related (e.g., the user describes an AWS or OCI scenario), tell the user that this is an Azure Maestro and point them to the appropriate cloud router (aws-maestro-agent or oci-maestro-agent). Do not attempt to route non-Azure tasks through the Azure catalog.

What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

azure-maestro is a skill published in the GitHub repository VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic (24 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 2,733 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
