What Azure Sdk Dotnet is
Azure Sdk Dotnet is a plugin published in the microsoft/skills repository on GitHub, which has about 3.1k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents”
A plugin is a package that bundles skills, slash commands, subagents, hooks, and MCP connectors so they install together. Plugins are plain files with a manifest at .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and they work in both Claude Code and Claude Cowork.
Installing Azure Sdk Dotnet adds everything it ships in one step. Connectors inside a plugin still need to be connected separately, and hooks and subagents only run in Cowork and Claude Code, not in regular chat.
How to install Azure Sdk Dotnet
Claude Code
- Add the repository as a plugin marketplace: claude plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills
- Install the plugin: claude plugin install azure-sdk-dotnet@<marketplace-name>, using the marketplace name from the repository's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json.
- Restart the session if the new skills or commands don't appear straight away.
Claude Cowork
- Open Customize → Plugins and choose Add marketplace.
- Enter microsoft/skills (the owner/repo shorthand works for GitHub).
- Find Azure Sdk Dotnet in the list, click Install, then connect any connectors it needs from its Connectors tab.

Install
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-sdk-dotnet/plugin install azure-sdk-dotnet@skillsBefore you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
