Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned fcakyon/claude-codex-settings at 8c25677efb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to Azure usage data, allowing agents to retrieve information about resource consumption and costs. It can be used to monitor spending, identify potential cost optimization opportunities, and generate reports on Azure service utilization. The skill enables querying of various metrics related to Azure resources.

When to use it

  • Cost Monitoring: An agent needs to regularly check the current Azure spend for a specific resource group or subscription.
  • Resource Optimization: Identify underutilized virtual machines that could be downsized or eliminated to reduce costs.
  • Reporting: Generate a summary report of Azure usage over a defined period (e.g., monthly, quarterly).
  • Anomaly Detection: Alert when Azure resource consumption spikes unexpectedly.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieval of Azure resource usage data
  • Querying by subscription and resource group
  • Reporting on various metrics related to Azure services
  • Cost monitoring functionality

Example prompts

  • "What was the total cost of my Azure VMs in the 'production' resource group last month?"
  • "Show me a breakdown of Azure costs by service for the current billing cycle."
  • "List all virtual machines with CPU utilization consistently below 10% in region West US."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires appropriate Azure permissions to access usage data. Ensure the AI agent has the necessary roles assigned within your Azure environment.
