About this skill
What does the azure-iot skill do?

Expert knowledge for Azure IoT development including decision making, architecture & design patterns, and configuration. Use when managing Azure Device Registry X.509 PKI, ADR policies, IoT Hub cert revocation, or device schema namespaces, and other Azure IoT related development tasks. Not for Azure IoT Central (use azure-iot-central), Azure IoT Edge (use azure-iot-edge), Azure IoT Hub (use azure-iot-hub), Azure Defender For Iot (use azure-defender-for-iot).

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-iot --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.
