Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Provides expert guidance for Azure NetApp Files, 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 Category Index to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges, read the file with the specified lines using
read_file. - For categories with file links, read the linked reference file using
read_fileon the linked reference file. - If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest pulling the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools are unavailable, suggest installing it via the provided Installation Guide link. - This skill requires network access and uses
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch(preferred) orfetch_webpage(fallback) to retrieve documentation. - Commands and file references are to be used exactly as described in the skill instructions:
read_file, file links, and the toolsmcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchorfetch_webpage.
When to use it
Use when deploying Azure NetApp Files and during tasks related to SAP HANA/Oracle deployments, AVS datastores, CRR, AzAcSnap, or NFS/SMB dual-protocol volumes, and other ANF development tasks. It is not intended for Azure Files, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Elastic SAN, or Azure Managed Lustre.
What it can touch
Requires network access and documentation content fetching via mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve Markdown content.
Caveats
License: CC-BY-4.0. Categories and content pointers rely on external Microsoft Docs content. The skill’s guidance is limited to the information exposed in the referenced sections and does not guarantee outcome specifics. Generated_at timestamp may necessitate updates if older than 3 months.

What does the azure-netapp-files skill do?
Expert knowledge for Azure NetApp Files development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-netapp-files --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.
