azure-quotas

Check/manage Azure quotas and usage across providers. For deployment planning, capacity validation, region selection. WHEN: "check quotas", "service limits", "current usage", "request quota increase", "quota exceeded", "validate capacity", "regional availability", "provisioning limits", "vCPU limit", "how many vCPUs available in my subscription".

Quality

Content

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-structured body: copy-paste-ready CLI commands, pre-built scripts, scenario-driven workflows, and a clean one-level-deep reference bundle with verified anchors. The main cost is token waste from concept explanation, a section duplicating the frontmatter triggers, and warnings repeated two to three times, plus a missing post-approval validation step in the quota-increase workflow.

Suggestions

Trim the Overview's "What are Azure Quotas?" concept explanation and drop the "When to Use This Skill" section (it duplicates the description's WHEN triggers); state the "always use CLI, REST 'No Limit' is misleading" warning once and reference it from the Troubleshooting row instead of repeating it in three places.

Consolidate the Scripts table and Workflow 1 so the script invocation details appear in one place, keeping the other as a one-line pointer.

Close the feedback loop in Workflow 3: after an increase request is approved, add an explicit step to re-run scripts/check-quota.sh (or `az quota usage show`) to confirm available capacity before proceeding with deployment.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The bulk is dense, actionable tables and commands, but there is real waste: "What are Azure Quotas?" explains a concept Claude already knows, "When to Use This Skill" duplicates the frontmatter triggers, and the CLI-first warning appears three times (Quick Reference row, blockquote, Troubleshooting table) with the MCP-unreliable warning repeated twice. This is more over-explanation than the 4 anchor's "minor instances" but less dominance of padding than the 2 anchor, so 3 fits best.

3 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is fully executable: exact `az quota` commands with complete scope patterns, `--query`/`-o tsv` flags, a complete copy-paste multi-region bash loop, and pre-built scripts (check-quota.sh/ps1) that return limit, usage, and available capacity in a single call, covering the common cases. It is not the 4 anchor because no guidance here is non-executable; placeholders like `<subscription-id>` are standard.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Four scenario-labeled workflows plus a 3-step resource-name discovery workflow are clearly sequenced, and error recovery is tabulated in Troubleshooting; Workflow 3 includes a request-status check. It falls short of the 5 anchor because there is no explicit validate-after-action loop (e.g., re-check usage once an increase is approved), while the destructive/batch cap does not apply since operations are reads plus non-destructive increase requests.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Verified against the actual bundle: SKILL.md is an overview with core workflows, commands.md and advanced-commands.md hold the full CLI detail one level deep, scripts are introduced in a table, every linked anchor resolves, and "See also" pointers follow each workflow. This matches the 5 anchor (clear overview, well-signaled one-level-deep references, appropriate split) rather than the 4 anchor, which expects organization gaps that are not present.

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states concrete capabilities in third person, gives an explicit WHEN clause with ten natural trigger phrases including synonyms and a realistic user question, and occupies a distinct Azure-capacity niche. The only minor weakness is that "Check/manage" compresses several distinct operations into two generic verbs, leaving slightly less capability detail than the body actually delivers.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Check/manage Azure quotas and usage across providers" names the domain plus several concrete actions (check quotas, manage quotas, check usage) with stated purposes ("deployment planning, capacity validation, region selection"), matching the anchor for several specific actions with minor gaps. "Manage" compresses what the body shows are distinct operations (list, show, request increases, compare regions), so it falls short of the comprehensive 5 anchor; it clearly exceeds the 1-2 actions of the 3 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both parts: what ("Check/manage Azure quotas and usage across providers") and when ("WHEN: 'check quotas', 'service limits', 'current usage', ...") with concrete trigger phrases, exactly matching the 5 anchor. The 4 anchor requires a 'when' that could be more explicit, which does not apply here.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The WHEN clause lists ten natural phrases users would actually say, including synonyms ("check quotas", "service limits", "vCPU limit") and a full natural question ("how many vCPUs available in my subscription"), matching the comprehensive-synonyms anchor. It is not the 4 anchor because no common variation of this domain is obviously missing.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves out a clear niche (Azure quota/capacity management) with distinct, unambiguous triggers, so conflict risk with other skills is minimal, matching the 5 anchor. It is not the 4 anchor because there is no identifiable closely-related skill these triggers would also fire on.
