Azure Advisor Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Advisor. Covers best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Codex install prompt

Install the "azure-advisor" agent skill from https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills/tree/main/skills/azure-advisor. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Expert knowledge for Azure Advisor development including best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when tuning Advisor alerts, digests, and states, bulk-fixing savings, or querying recommendations via Resource Graph, and other Azure Advisor related development tasks. Not for Cost Management (use azure-cost-management), Azure Monitor (use azure-monitor), Azure Policy (use azure-policy), Azure Security (use azure-security). After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"microsoftdocs-azure-advisor","task":"Install azure-advisor","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: skills/azure-advisor/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 9fc50b0c233eb802759ced1a8da138c03a0a2d38. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
