Azure Expert

This gives Claude the context and CLI access to work with Azure resources across the stack. You get ARM template generation, Azure Functions code, Cosmos DB queries, and actual az commands for spinning up VMs, storage accounts, and App Services. The skill covers the major services (AKS, Azure SQL, Blob storage, Active Directory) and includes practical Python examples for serverless functions and database operations. It's opinionated about best practices like managed identities and Key Vault, which is helpful if you're building production systems and want Claude to steer you away from hardcoded credentials and single region deployments. Solid for infrastructure work or when you're prototyping cloud native apps on Azure.
