Default entry point for Azure application development. Invoke this skill for ANY application work related to Azure: creating apps, building features, adding components, updating code, migrating, or modernizing.

DO NOT USE FOR: only validating an already-prepared app (use azure-validate), only running azd up/deploy (use azure-deploy), pure Terraform without azd (prefer azd+Terraform).
Guides Microsoft Entra ID app registration, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and MSAL integration. USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication.
