Azure Skills Plugin: 19+ curated workflows + 200+ MCP tools. Same prompt, but you get a Dockerfile, infra code, and deployment — not directions.

I love #azd (azure dev cli) - I've been playing around with multiple RAG demos today and it is so nice to just run azd up and wait awhile to then see the complete multiple azure resources all deployed, populated and running a short while later. So nice to help learn this stuff.
