Manage Azure Bot Service resources including bots, channels, and connections.
pip install azure-mgmt-botservice
pip install azure-identity
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id> # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<your-resource-group> # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
> 🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:
>
> 1. Prefer DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
> - Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential works as-is.
> - Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod (or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.
> 2. Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
> - Sync: with <Client>(...) as client:
> - Async: async with <Client>(...) as client: and async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential: (from azure.identity.aio)
>
> Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.

azure.xxx sync clients with azure.xxx.aio async clients in the same call path. Choose one mode per module.with Client(...) as client: (sync) or async with Client(...) as client: (async). For async DefaultAzureCredential from azure.identity.aio, also use async with credential: so tokens and transports are cleaned up.DefaultAzureCredential for code that runs locally. Use a specific token credential for code that runs in Azure.| File | Contents |

Take microsoft/azure-mgmt-botservice-py from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
