From the SKILL.md

# Python on Azure App Service — Code Deploy Deploys Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI, generic) code to Azure App Service Linux (P0v3, Python 3.14). Creates RG + Plan + Web App if missing. Hand off to `azure-prepare` for VNet, Key Vault, databases, or IaC. **MCP tools used**: `mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list`, `mcp_azure_mcp_group_list`, `mcp_azure_mcp_appservice`, `mcp_azure_mcp_azd` (when `azure.yaml` is present). ## Workflow 1. **Resolve context — smart defaults, minimal prompts.** Only the app name is interactive; RG (`<app>-rg`), Plan (`<app>-plan`), region (current `az` default or `eastus2`), subscription are derived. [create-app.md](references/create-app.md) §1. 2. **Detect framework** (advisory, never blocks). [detect.md](references/detect.md). 3. **Choose path** — `azure.yaml` host: appservice → [deploy-azd.md](references/deploy-azd.md); else [deploy-azcli.md](references/deploy-azcli.md). 4. **Ensure RG → Plan (`P0v3 --is-linux`) → Web App (`--runtime "PYTHON:3.14"`)** exist. On transient ARM errors, follow [transient-retry.md](references/transient-retry.md). [create-app.md](references/create-app.md). 5. **Set startup** — Flask/Django: none (Oryx auto-detects). FastAPI: alway

About this skill
What does the python-appservice-deploy skill do?

Deploy Python (Flask/Django/FastAPI) code to Azure App Service Linux. WHEN: \"Flask App Service\", \"Django App Service\", \"FastAPI App Service\", \"deploy Python to App Service\". DO NOT USE FOR: Container Apps, Functions, non-Python, Terraform/Bicep/IaC, full infra — use azure-prepare.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill python-appservice-deploy --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 microsoft/azure-skills, a repository with 1,353 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.
