About azure-storage

Azure Storage Services is an agent skill that documents Azure Storage options, including Blob, File Shares, Queue, Table and Data Lake. It targets developers choosing a storage service, access tier or redundancy setting. The skill lists Azure MCP storage commands alongside az CLI fallbacks.

Key features

01Covers Blob, File Shares, Queue, Table and Data Lake
02Lists Azure MCP storage commands
03Provides az storage CLI fallback commands
04Explains storage account and blob access tiers
05Compares LRS, ZRS, GRS and GZRS redundancy

Use cases

01Choosing an Azure storage service for a workload
02Listing accounts and blobs and transferring content through MCP
03Running storage operations with az CLI when Azure MCP is unavailable

MCP support

The skill uses the azure__storage tool to expose listing, download and upload commands for storage accounts, containers and blobs, and requires Azure MCP to be enabled.

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-storage

After installing, type/azure-storagein Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Azure Storage Services

Services

Service	Use When	MCP Tools	CLI
Blob Storage	Objects, files, backups, static content	`azure__storage`	`az storage blob`
File Shares	SMB file shares, lift-and-shift	-	`az storage file`
Queue Storage	Async messaging, task queues	-	`az storage queue`
Table Storage	NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB)	-	`az storage table`
Data Lake	Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace	-	`az storage fs`

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: In Copilot CLI or Claude Code, ask the user to run /mcp and enable Azure MCP; in other hosts, ask the user to enable Azure MCP through the host's MCP configuration.

CLI Fallback

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

Storage Account Tiers

Tier	Use Case	Performance
Standard	General purpose, backup	Milliseconds
Premium	Databases, high IOPS	Sub-millisecond

Blob Access Tiers

Tier	Access Frequency	Cost
Hot	Frequent	Higher storage, lower access
Cool	Infrequent (30+ days)	Lower storage, higher access
Cold	Rare (90+ days)	Lower still
Archive	Rarely (180+ days)	Lowest storage, rehydration required

Redundancy Options

Type	Durability	Use Case
LRS	11 nines	Dev/test, recreatable data
ZRS	12 nines	Regional high availability
GRS	16 nines	Disaster recovery
GZRS	16 nines	Best durability

SDK Quick References

For building applications with Azure Storage SDKs, see the condensed guides:

Blob Storage: Python | TypeScript | Java | Rust
Queue Storage: Python | TypeScript
File Shares: Python | TypeScript
Data Lake: Python
Tables: Python | Java

Azure SDKs

For building applications that interact with Azure Storage programmatically, Azure provides SDK packages in multiple languages (.NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust). See SDK Usage Guide for package names, installation commands, and quick start examples.

hyperframes-core

The HyperFrames composition contract — build one renderable project. Use for composition structure, the `data-*` timing attributes, `class="clip"`, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, deterministic-render rules, and validation. Also covers Tailwind projects and the STORYBOARD.md / SCRIPT.md plan formats. Read before writing composition HTML.

lark-base

open.feishu.cn

823.2k

Operate on Feishu Base: create tables, fields, records, and views; handle statistics, formulas/lookups, forms, dashboards, app mode (BaseApp/AppMode pages and components), Workspace directories, workflows, role permissions, and the template center (Base template categories, lists, and search). Use when encountering Base/multidimensional tables/bitable, BaseApp/AppMode, or /base/ or /app/ links. Do not use lark-apps for BaseApp; route file import/export to lark-drive and authentication/authorization to lark-shared.

lark-sheets

open.feishu.cn

821.8k

Feishu Spreadsheets: create and operate spreadsheets. Supports worksheets and row/column structures (add/delete/merge/size/hide/freeze/group), cell read/write (values/formulas/styles/comments/cell images), range copy/move/sort/fill, find and replace, bulk updates, and creating and maintaining objects such as charts, pivot tables, conditional formatting, filters and filter views, dropdown lists, sparklines, and floating images. Also supports formula validation, restoring historical versions, and importing/exporting local Excel/CSV files and Feishu spreadsheets. Use when users need to create or edit spreadsheets, summarize and visualize data, format spreadsheets, calculate formulas (including migrating Excel formulas), or build financial models (DCF, three statements, budgets, Sensitivity, etc.). For multidimensional tables (Base/bitable), use lark-base. If users want to search for spreadsheet files in cloud storage (Drive/cloud storage) by name or keyword, use lark-drive's drive +search to locate resources first. When users provide a doubao.com /sheets/ URL/token, use this skill directly; do not fall back to WebFetch because the domain is not Feishu. Routing is based on the URL path pattern and token, not the domain.

remotion-best-practices

701.4k

Best practices and domain knowledge for building videos programmatically with Remotion (videos in React/TypeScript, rendered to MP4). Use whenever writing or editing Remotion code — scaffolding a video project, animating with interpolate/spring over useCurrentFrame(), sequencing scenes and transitions, captions/subtitles, audio, GIFs/Lottie/3D, charts, visual effects, dynamic duration via calculateMetadata, or rendering. Consult before reaching for a Remotion API, since its components and props evolve (e.g. @remotion/media).
