Install

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill microsoft-foundry

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Microsoft Foundry

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 /microsoft-foundry.

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