Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Apps, including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It is intended for tasks such as ACA auth configuration, Dapr/KEDA, workload profiles, Java microservices, and CI/CD with GitHub Actions, among other ACA-related development tasks.
How it works
The skill directs the agent to use a Category Index to locate relevant sections, and to read content via read_file on specific references when the skill indicates line ranges or linked files. It requires network access to fetch documentation using mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch (preferred) or fetch_webpage (fallback). If metadata.generated_at is over 3 months old, it instructs suggesting updating from the repository. It relies on the agent to fetch and surface documentation topics across categories such as Troubleshooting, Best Practices, Decision Making, Architecture & Design Patterns, Limits & Quotas, Security, Configuration, Integrations & Coding Patterns, and Deployment.
When to use it
Use when configuring ACA auth, Dapr/KEDA, workload profiles, Java microservices, or CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and other Azure Container Apps related development tasks. The skill is organized to guide debugging, security configuration, deployment automation, and architectural decisions.
What it can touch
Requires network access and uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve documentation.
Caveats
Requires network access. If the fetching tool is unavailable, a fallback fetch method is used. The description notes compatibility with Azure Container Apps topics and does not cover non-ACA services. License is CC-BY-4.0.
# Azure Container Apps Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Container Apps. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities. ## How to Use This Skill > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content: - **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown. - **Fallback**: Use `fe

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-container-apps --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills, a repository with 682 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
