What This Skill Does

Python library for authenticating to Azure services using Microsoft Entra ID. Provides DefaultAzureCredential, managed identity, service principals, and direct token acquisition. Works across local dev and Azure-hosted environments without code changes. DefaultAzureCredential handles the local-dev-to-production transition automatically, so you don't maintain separate auth logic for each environment.
