Azure Data Share Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Data Share. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, security, configuration, 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.

Summary

This skill provides expert reference guidance for Azure Data Share development, combining quick-reference content organized by topic (troubleshooting, security, configuration, deployment, decision making) with integrated remote documentation fetching via MCP or webpage tools. It acts as an index and navigation helper rather than an execution-oriented skill—the agent uses it to locate and fetch official Microsoft Learn documentation.

Detected Capabilities

Use Cases

  • Estimating Azure Data Share costs and understanding pricing factors for data sharing scenarios
  • Managing RBAC roles, permissions, and recipient invitations in Data Share environments
  • Configuring dataset mappings, storage integration (SQL, Synapse, Blob, Data Lake), and monitoring setup
  • Troubleshooting invitation issues, permission errors, and configuration problems
  • Setting up disaster recovery, regional failover, and cross-region Data Share deployments
  • Automating Data Share management via PowerShell, ARM templates, or Bicep

Quality Notes

  • Well-organized category index with clear line ranges and file references, making it easy for agents to locate relevant sections
  • Explicitly documents network access requirement and provides both preferred and fallback documentation fetching methods
  • Helpful version checking guidance (3-month staleness check) and installation instructions for missing dependencies
  • Clear scope boundaries: explicitly excludes related services (Data Box, Import Export, Open Datasets, Data Explorer) to prevent agent confusion
  • All referenced Microsoft Learn URLs are valid and structured by logical topic—strong coverage of core Azure Data Share tasks
  • Frontmatter is well-formed and metadata generation timestamp included for version tracking
  • Limitations documented: skill requires network access and external tool availability; no local knowledge base
  • Topic organization covers full lifecycle: planning (decision making, costs), implementation (configuration), operations (monitoring, troubleshooting), and resilience (disaster recovery, regional moves)
