What it does
The skill provides expert guidance for Azure Health Data Services, covering 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 it works
- Use the Category Index to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges, read the specified lines from the local reference using read_file with the given lines. For categories with file links, read the linked reference file using read_file on that reference.
- If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest pulling the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are unavailable, suggest installing them via the provided Installation Guide.
- This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content using mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage as fallback.
When to use it
Use when working on Azure Health Data Services development tasks including troubleshooting, best practices, architecture decisions, security considerations, configuration, integrations, and deployment related to FHIR/DICOM APIs, bulk import/export, de-identification, Synapse/ADF pipelines, or SMART on FHIR.
What it can touch
- Tools: claude-code, copilot, codex
- Documentation fetching: mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage
- Reads: local reference files referenced in Category Index (e.g., security.md) via read_file
Caveats
- Requires network access to fetch documentation.
- License: CC-BY-4.0
- Compatibility notes and exact content depend on the remote docs fetched at runtime.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-health-data-services --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.
