Azure Key Vault Keys (Java)

Overview

This public intake copy packages

plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-security-keyvault-keys-java

https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills

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

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Azure Key Vault Keys (Java) Manage cryptographic keys and perform cryptographic operations in Azure Key Vault and Managed HSM.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Client Creation, Key Types, Create Keys, Get Key, Update Key Properties, List Keys.

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.

• "Key Vault keys Java", "cryptographic keys Java"
• "encrypt decrypt Java", "sign verify Java"
• "RSA key", "EC key", "HSM key"
• "key rotation", "wrap unwrap key"
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Azure Key Vault Keys Java SDK for cryptographic key management. Use when creating, managing, or using RSA/EC keys, performing encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify operations, or working with HSM-backed keys.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

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. xml <dependency> <groupId>com.azure</groupId> <artifactId>azure-security-keyvault-keys</artifactId> <version>4.9.0</version> </dependency>
2. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
3. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
4. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
5. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
6. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
7. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @azure-security-keyvault-keys-java 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-security-keyvault-keys-java 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-security-keyvault-keys-java 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-security-keyvault-keys-java 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 HSM Keys for Production - Set setHardwareProtected(true) for sensitive keys
• Enable Soft Delete - Protects against accidental deletion
• Key Rotation - Set up automatic rotation policies
• Least Privilege - Use separate keys for different operations
• Local Crypto When Possible - Use CryptographyClient with local key material to reduce round-trips
• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.

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-security-keyvault-keys-java

metadata.json

ORIGIN.md

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated

SKILL.md

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.
