Azure Managed Redis Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Managed Redis. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., L35-L120), use read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., [security.md](security.md)), use read_file on the linked reference file

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Install with a command

npx skills add https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills --skill azure-managed-redis

Paste it into your terminal and run it (requires Node.js). You can choose which agents to install it for, such as Claude Code or Codex.

Ask your agent

Please install the following Agent Skill.
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills/tree/main/skills/azure-managed-redis

First review SKILL.md and the bundled files and confirm there is nothing suspicious (such as sending data externally or reading credentials). Then place it in ~/.claude/skills/azure-managed-redis/ for Claude Code, or ~/.agents/skills/azure-managed-redis/ for Codex.

Send this text to Claude Code or Codex as is. It checks the contents before installing.
