azure-resource-lookup

List, find, and show Azure resources across subscriptions or resource groups. Handles prompts like "list the websites in my subscription", "list my web apps", "show my app services", "list virtual machines", "list my VMs", "show storage accounts", "find container apps", and "what resources do I have". USE FOR: list websites, list web apps, list app services, show websites in subscription, resource inventory, find resources by tag, tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery (not for cost analysis), unattached disks, count resources by type, cross-subscription lookup, and Azure Resource Graph queries. DO NOT USE FOR: deploying/changing resources (use azure-deploy), cost optimization (use azure-cost), or non-Azure clouds.

Quality

Content

50%

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

This skill provides a solid structure for Azure resource lookup with useful routing tables and clear MCP tool mappings. However, it falls short on actionability by not including concrete, executable ARG query examples for the most common use cases (listing web apps, finding orphaned resources), instead delegating to `extension_cli_generate`. The workflow would benefit from explicit validation steps and the referenced bundle file for query patterns is missing.

Suggestions

Add 2-3 complete, executable ARG query examples for the most common scenarios (e.g., listing web apps, finding unattached disks) rather than relying solely on extension_cli_generate to produce queries.

Add a validation checkpoint after Step 3 (e.g., 'If results are empty, verify subscription scope with mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list and confirm resource type spelling').

Condense the 'When to Use This Skill' section to 3-4 key bullet points — the detailed trigger list duplicates the skill description metadata.

Provide the referenced `references/azure-resource-graph.md` bundle file with common KQL patterns, or inline the most critical patterns directly in the skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is mostly efficient but includes some unnecessary content. The 'When to Use This Skill' section is overly verbose with 10+ bullet points that largely restate the description. The routing table is useful but could be more compact. The warning/tip callouts add value but the overall document could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete CLI commands and MCP tool invocations, but the core workflow relies on `extension_cli_generate` to produce the actual query rather than giving executable examples directly. The YAML block for MCP invocation is helpful, but the skill lacks complete copy-paste-ready ARG query examples for common scenarios (e.g., listing web apps, finding orphaned disks).

2 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 3-step workflow is clearly sequenced (check dedicated tool → generate ARG query → execute), but lacks validation checkpoints. There's no feedback loop for verifying query results, handling empty results beyond a table entry, or confirming the right subscription scope was used before proceeding. The error handling table is helpful but separate from the workflow.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

References `references/azure-resource-graph.md` for query patterns which is good progressive disclosure, but no bundle files are provided so the reference is unverifiable. The routing table and error handling are inline which is appropriate for their size, but the 'When to Use This Skill' section could be condensed since it largely duplicates the description metadata.

Description

100%

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

This is an excellent skill description that excels across all dimensions. It provides comprehensive trigger terms with natural language variations, clearly defines both what the skill does and when to use it, and explicitly draws boundaries with related skills to minimize conflict. The use of concrete example prompts and the DO NOT USE FOR clause make this a model description for skill selection.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: list, find, and show resources, with specific resource types mentioned (web apps, virtual machines, storage accounts, container apps). Also mentions specific capabilities like tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery, unattached disks, count resources by type, cross-subscription lookup, and Azure Resource Graph queries.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (list, find, show Azure resources across subscriptions/resource groups with specific capabilities) and 'when' (explicit USE FOR and DO NOT USE FOR clauses with trigger phrases and boundary conditions pointing to other skills).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'list websites', 'list my web apps', 'show my app services', 'list virtual machines', 'list my VMs', 'show storage accounts', 'find container apps', 'what resources do I have'. Includes both formal and informal variations (VMs vs virtual machines, web apps vs app services vs websites).

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Highly distinctive with explicit boundary definitions: 'DO NOT USE FOR: deploying/changing resources (use azure-deploy), cost optimization (use azure-cost), or non-Azure clouds.' This clearly delineates this skill from related Azure skills and reduces conflict risk significantly.
