Prefer to skip the CLI? Clone the repo and drop the skill folder into your agent's skills directory.
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills.gitcp -r azure-skills/.github/plugins/azure-skills/skills/azure-upgrade/references/languages/java/templates ~/.claude/skills/ For other agents, replace ~/.claude/skills/ with their skill directory — see the full list.
Use it
Once installed, ask your agent to "use the azure-upgrade skill" or describe what you want (e.g. "Assess and upgrade Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs, or modernize A"). Most agents auto-discover the skill from its SKILL.md description — no slash command needed.
