What This Skill Does

Handles authentication to Azure services in TypeScript/JavaScript applications using the @azure/identity package. Supports multiple credential types: managed identity, service principals with secrets or certificates, interactive browser login, device code flow, and developer credentials like Azure CLI. Works across environments from local development to production Kubernetes workloads. DefaultAzureCredential automatically handles the credential chain across dev and prod environments, removing the need to write environment-specific authentication logic or manage token refresh manually.
