Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow. This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the `external_source` block in `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review. # Azure Monitor Query SDK for Python Query logs and metrics from Azure Monitor and Log Analytics workspaces. Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Environment Variables, Authentication, Logs Query Client, Metrics Query Client, Async Clients, Common Kusto Queries. ## When to Use This Skill Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request. - This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. - Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Azure Monitor Query SDK for Python. Use for querying Log Analytics workspaces and Azure Monitor metrics. - Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch. - Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet. - Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer. - Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over. ## Operating Table | Situation | Start here | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow | | Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source | | Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution | | Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package | | Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts | ## Workflow This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow. 1. bash pip install azure-monitor-query 2. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task. 3. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files. 4. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request. 5. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes. 6. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files. 7. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity. ### Imported Workflow Notes #### Imported: Installation ```bash pip install azure-monitor-query ``` #### Imported: Environment Variables ```bash # Log Analytics AZURE_LOG_ANALYTICS_WORKSPACE_ID= # Metrics AZURE_METRICS_RESOURCE_URI=/subscriptions//resourceGroups//providers/// ``` ## Examples ### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly ```text Use @azure-monitor-query-py to handle . Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer. ``` **Explanation:** This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository. ### Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review ```text Review @azure-monitor-query-py against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why. ``` **Explanation:** Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection. ### Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution ```text Use @azure-monitor-query-py for . Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding. ``` **Explanation:** This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default. ### Example 4: Build a reviewer packet ```text Review @azure-monitor-query-py using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge. ``` **Explanation:** This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet. ## Best Practices Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution. - Use timedelta for relative time ranges - Handle partial results for large queries - Use batch queries when running multiple queries - Set appropriate granularity for metrics to reduce data points - Convert to DataFrame for easier data analysis - Use aggregations to summarize metric data - Filter by dimensions to narrow metric results ### Imported Operating Notes #### Imported: Best Practices 1. **Use timedelta** for relative time ranges 2. **Handle partial results** for large queries 3. **Use batch queries** when running multiple queries 4. **Set appropriate granularity** for metrics to reduce data points 5. **Convert to DataFrame** for easier data analysis 6. **Use aggregations** to summarize metric data 7. **Filter by dimensions** to narrow metric results ## Troubleshooting ### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically **Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-monitor-query-py`, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. **Solution:** Re-open `metadata.json`, `ORIGIN.md`, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the `external_source` block first, then restate the provenance before continuing. ### Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review **Symptoms:** Reviewers can see the generated `SKILL.md`, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. **Solution:** Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it. ### Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization **Symptoms:** The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. **Solution:** Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind. ## Related Skills - `@00-andruia-consultant` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@00-andruia-consultant-v2` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@10-andruia-skill-smith` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@10-andruia-skill-smith-v2` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. ## Additional Resources Use this support matrix and the linked files below as the operator packet for this imported skill. They should reflect real copied source material, not generic scaffolding. | Resource family | What it gives the reviewer | Example path | | --- | --- | --- | | `references` | copied reference notes, guides, or background material from upstream | `references/n/a` | | `examples` | worked examples or reusable prompts copied from upstream | `examples/n/a` | | `scripts` | upstream helper scripts that change execution or validation | `scripts/n/a` | | `agents` | routing or delegation notes that are genuinely part of the imported package | `agents/n/a` | | `assets` | supporting assets or schemas copied from the source package | `assets/n/a` | ### Imported Reference Notes #### Imported: Authentication ```python from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential credential =
