How to use Azure Diagnostics

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /azure-diagnostics.

It includes scripts that Claude may run on your computer, so skim them on GitHub before you install.
