Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Read a named secret from Azure Key Vault using the caller's (agent's) managed identity, without ever placing the secret value in a prompt or tool argument. Use when an agent needs a credential, API key, connection string, or `sig` held in Key Vault — including from inside a managed harness or sandbox where DefaultAzureCredential resolves to the agent identity. Requires the identity to hold the 'Key Vault Secrets User' role on the vault.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'keyvault-secret-reader' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'keyvault-secret-reader' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named keyvault-secret-reader already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/microsoft-foundry/foundry-samples' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f960ccb05b003fa274e9b5903f9d39ac1228eb65' -- 'samples/python/prompt-agents/agent-identity-and-skills/skills/keyvault-secret-reader' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'samples/python/prompt-agents/agent-identity-and-skills/skills/keyvault-secret-reader' ~/.agents/skills/'keyvault-secret-reader' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'keyvault-secret-reader' ~/.claude/skills/'keyvault-secret-reader' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
