azure-functions · davila7 — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Supplies Claude Code with production conventions for Azure Functions across .NET, Python, and Node.js. It guides Durable Functions setup and cold start mitigation.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill development/azure-functionsWhat azure-functions does
The skill provides architectural patterns for the .NET isolated worker runtime, TypeScript and JavaScript v4 code-centric models, and Python v2 decorator syntax. It steers the assistant toward safe Durable Functions orchestration and clean asynchronous calls.
Common traps are flagged directly: allocating a fresh HttpClient per request, running synchronous calls, or starting new repositories on legacy in-process runtimes. It also prompts the agent to set up Application Insights, configure Consumption plan execution limits, and register warmup triggers.
Recreating HTTP clients for each invocation causes socket exhaustion, making IHttpClientFactory mandatory in high-load scenarios.
What it helps with
- migrate a .NET app to the isolated worker process
- orchestrate Durable Functions without thread blocking
- implement Python v2 handlers using decorators
- mitigate serverless cold starts via warmup triggers
Example prompts for the agent
- Refactor this Node.js Azure Function to programming model v4
- Configure IHttpClientFactory for my isolated worker project
- Create a Durable Functions orchestrator with async handling
