Azure Functions Common

Shared Azure Functions reference material for the Azure Functions skill suite: runtime/language routing, trigger/binding extension references, official docs and repository pointers. Use only when another Azure Functions skill needs reusable language or binding context. Not intended as a standalone user-facing workflow.

Azure Functions Common References

Use this suite-internal skill as the shared reference pack for Azure Functions skills.

This skill is intentionally workflow-light. Do not load all references up front. Use routing.md to choose only the runtime/language and trigger/binding reference files needed for the current task.

Scope

Shared references include:

Language/runtime references in references/languages/.
Trigger/binding extension references in references/extensions/.
Local emulator and development-service guidance in references/local-emulators.md.
Routing rules in references/routing.md.

Task-specific skills keep their own workflows, scripts, evidence checklists, and output formats. For example, diagnostics owns diagnostic workflow and health evidence rules; this skill only owns reusable Azure Functions reference material.

Next steps

This is a shared reference skill. Return to the calling Azure Functions skill after loading only the relevant references.

Loading rules

Load exactly one language reference when the runtime is known, plus Durable only when Durable is involved.
Load only extension references matching the app's triggers/bindings or the symptom.
Load references/local-emulators.md when local E2E verification involves a non-HTTP trigger, service-backed binding, emulator, container, or temporary development resource.
Load Extension Bundles only for non-.NET apps or extension-version/binding-resolution symptoms.
Prefer official documentation, official repositories, official samples, and package/container registries before broader web sources.
