From the SKILL.md

# Azure Identity SDK for Python Authentication library for Azure SDK clients using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). ## Installation ```bash pip install azure-identity ``` ## Environment Variables ```bash # Service Principal (for production/CI) AZURE_TENANT_ID=<your-tenant-id> AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id> AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret> # User-assigned Managed Identity (optional) AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<managed-identity-client-id> ``` ## DefaultAzureCredential The recommended credential for most scenarios. Tries multiple authentication methods in order: ```python from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient # Works in local dev AND production without code changes credential = DefaultAzureCredential() client = BlobServiceClient( account_url="https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net", credential=credential ) ``` ### Credential Chain Order | Order | Credential | Environment | |-------|-----------|-------------| | 1 | EnvironmentCredential | CI/CD, containers | | 2 | WorkloadIdentityCredential | Kubernetes | | 3 | ManagedIdentityCredential | Azure VMs, App Service, Functions | | 4 | SharedTokenCacheCredential | Windows on

About this skill
What does the azure-identity-py skill do?

Azure Identity SDK for Python authentication. Use for DefaultAzureCredential, managed identity, service principals, and token caching.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill azure-identity-py --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
