Fetched SKILL.md (32KB command index) and spot-checked references/vm.md, storage.md, group.md, acr.md via raw fetch — all HTTP 200. Reference files are authoritative subcommand lists (name + one-line description) but contain no parameter/flag detail. Ran an enumeration task: my from-memory baseline for `az acr` listed ~27 commands/groups; the skill's acr.md yielded 142 distinct command paths, surfacing genuinely-omitted groups (az acr manifest, cache, credential-set, supply-chain workflow, query, show-usage). No security smells found. Caveat: workflow tells the model to read a reference "to understand what the command needs" but references list zero parameters, so it adds no value for command construction — only for discovery.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Az CLI does

A router skill that maps Azure resource tasks to the correct `az` subcommand using a categorized command index plus ~200 per-service reference files enumerating each command group's subcommands. Triggers when the user asks to create, configure, manage, or deploy any Azure resource from the terminal, or asks about Azure CLI command syntax. Requires the Azure CLI installed and an `az login` session to actually execute commands.

How to install Az CLI

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Code-and-Sorts/awesome-copilot-agents.git /tmp/az-cli-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/az-cli-src/skills/cloud/az-cli ~/.claude/skills/az-cli
# Runtime deps (not needed to install, needed to execute commands):
#   - Azure CLI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli
#   - Authenticate once with: az login
# The references/ dir (~200 command-group files) is copied alongside SKILL.md; no other deps.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Az CLI

  • /az-cli Routes Azure tasks to the right az CLI command via ~200 reference files

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Create a new resource group with az cli
  • Deploy this app service using az commands
  • List all storage accounts in my subscription

Frequently asked questions

Is the Az CLI skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from Code-and-Sorts/awesome-copilot-agents. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Az CLI work with Claude Code?

How do I install Az CLI?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Az CLI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
