azure-sdk-dotnet — Claude Code plugin: Azure SDK for .NET
A set of skills with Azure SDK patterns for .NET: AI, resource management, identity, messaging and Key Vault.
/plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills
/plugin install azure-sdk-dotnet@skillsWhat azure-sdk-dotnet does
The plugin installs 29 skills covering the Azure SDK for .NET. Each skill maps to one library: azure-ai-openai-dotnet, azure-identity-dotnet, azure-servicebus-dotnet, azure-security-keyvault-keys-dotnet, azure-search-documents-dotnet and more. Resource management is in there too — Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, SQL, Playwright, Durable Task — alongside service administration for API Management, Application Insights, Bot Service, Fabric, MongoDB Atlas and Weights & Biases.
Installation runs through the plugin marketplace from the microsoft/skills repository, MIT licensed. There is a second route: npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-sdk-dotnet.
Everything here targets .NET libraries. A Python or Go project gets nothing from these skills, since the SDK and its patterns differ. Check the skill list before installing: not every Azure service made it in.
What it helps with
- wire Azure OpenAI into a .NET project using current SDK patterns
- set up Azure authentication with
azure-identity-dotnetinstead of hand-rolling a credential chain - provision Cosmos DB or PostgreSQL from code via resource manager
- send and receive messages through Service Bus and Event Hubs
- read secrets and keys from Key Vault
Example prompts for the agent
- Wire Azure OpenAI into my .NET project with
azure-ai-openai-dotnet - Set up Azure authentication using
azure-identity-dotnet - Show me how to provision PostgreSQL from code with
azure-resource-manager-postgresql-dotnet
