30-SECOND BRIEF
What it does—and when it fits
Microsoft Foundry is the official Azure workflow router for creating, deploying, invoking, evaluating, observing, optimizing, and fine-tuning AI agents and models. It performs a mandatory dependency check, discovers Foundry tools, and routes each request to the matching subskill for projects, quotas, RBAC, networking, or lifecycle work.
INSTALL BY AGENT
Choose your Agent
Paths come from official Agent docs or the universal installer behind skills.sh. Compatibility still follows this Skill's record.
.claude/skills/microsoft-foundry/~/.claude/skills/microsoft-foundry/Use project scope for team sharing and personal scope across repositories. The installer defaults to project scope; add -g for personal scope.
npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill microsoft-foundry --agent claude-codeClaude Code discovers custom Skill folders automatically at project or personal scope.

THE TRADEOFFS
Advantages and tradeoffs
Notable strengths
- This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
- The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to microsoft/azure-skills.
- Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.
Limitations
- The mandatory setup and specialized subskills must be available and read before the requested workflow begins.
- Success depends on the user's Azure environment, region, permissions, quotas, model availability, and budget.

BEFORE YOU USE IT
Risks to review before use
Costly or production-impacting cloud changes
Provisioning, deployment, fine-tuning, networking, and RBAC changes can create cost, access, or availability impact. Confirm target subscription and region, inspect the plan, and use least privilege.
Upstream instruction drift
Behavior can change with upstream updates. Record the commit used for important workflows and review updates before adoption.
SECURITY
What the permission profile means
- Declared access remains governed by the current upstream SKILL.md and runtime requests.
- Treat repository files, web content, and tool output as untrusted input.
- SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package; external skills.sh labels are not SkillSignal certification.
Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.
