Azure Maps Search Dotnet

Azure Maps (.NET)

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-maps-search-dotnet from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

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 Maps (.NET) Azure Maps SDK for .NET providing location-based services: geocoding, routing, rendering, geolocation, and weather.

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, Client Hierarchy, Error Handling, Limitations.

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 Maps SDK for .NET. Location-based services including geocoding, routing, rendering, geolocation, and weather. Use for address search, directions, map tiles, IP geolocation, and weather data.
• 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

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. Azure.Maps.Search: v2.0.0-beta.5
2. Azure.Maps.Routing: v1.0.0-beta.4
3. Azure.Maps.Rendering: v2.0.0-beta.1
4. Azure.Maps.Geolocation: v1.0.0-beta.3
5. Azure.ResourceManager.Maps: v1.1.0-beta.2
6. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
7. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.

    Console.WriteLine($"Confidence: {feature.Properties.Confidence}");
}

2. Batch Geocoding

using Azure.Maps.Search.Models.Queries;

List<GeocodingQuery> queries = new List<GeocodingQuery>
{
    new GeocodingQuery() { Query = "400 Broad St, Seattle, WA" },
    new GeocodingQuery() { Query = "1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA" },

    foreach (var feature in batchItem.Features)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Coordinates: {string.Join(",", feature.Geometry.Coordinates)}");
    }
}

}

// Asynchronous (up to 700 route combinations)
RouteMatrixOptions routeMatrixOptions = new RouteMatrixOptions(routeMatrixQuery)

using Azure.Maps.Rendering;

var client = new MapsRenderingClient(new AzureKeyCredential(subscriptionKey));

int zoom = 10;
int tileSize = 256;

// Convert coordinates to tile index

AZURE_MAPS_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>  # For Entra ID auth

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @azure-maps-search-dotnet to handle <task>. 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

Review @azure-maps-search-dotnet 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

Use @azure-maps-search-dotnet for <task>. 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

Review @azure-maps-search-dotnet 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 Entra ID for production — Prefer over subscription keys
• Batch operations — Use batch geocoding for multiple addresses
• Cache results — Geocoding results don't change frequently
• Use appropriate tile sizes — 256 or 512 pixels based on display
• Handle rate limits — Implement exponential backoff
• Use async route matrix — For large matrix calculations (>100)
• Consider traffic data — Set UseTrafficData = true for accurate ETAs

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-maps-search-dotnet, 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.
