# Azure Key Vault Keys SDK for Rust

## Overview

This public intake copy packages `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/azure-keyvault-keys-rust` 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 Key Vault Keys SDK for Rust Client library for Azure Key Vault Keys — secure storage and management of cryptographic keys.

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, Key Types, Core Operations, Cryptographic Operations, RBAC Permissions.

## 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 Key Vault Keys SDK for Rust. Use for creating, managing, and using cryptographic keys. Triggers: "keyvault keys rust", "KeyClient rust", "create key rust", "encrypt rust", "sign rust".
- 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

| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |

## 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. sh cargo add azuresecuritykeyvaultkeys azureidentity
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.

### Imported Workflow Notes

#### Imported: Installation

```sh
cargo add azure_security_keyvault_keys azure_identity
```

#### Imported: Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_KEYVAULT_URL=https://<vault-name>.vault.azure.net/
```

## Examples

### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

```text
Use @azure-keyvault-keys-rust-v2 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

```text
Review @azure-keyvault-keys-rust-v2 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

```text
Use @azure-keyvault-keys-rust-v2 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

```text
Review @azure-keyvault-keys-rust-v2 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 auth — DeveloperToolsCredential for dev, ManagedIdentityCredential for production
- Use HSM keys for sensitive workloads — hardware-protected keys
- Use EC for signing — more efficient than RSA
- Use RSA for encryption — when encrypting data
- Backup keys — for disaster recovery
- Enable soft delete — required for production vaults
- Use key rotation — create new versions periodically

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

**Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/azure-keyvault-keys-rust`, 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.

#### Imported: Core Operations

### Get Key

```rust
let key = client
    .get_key("key-name", None)
    .await?
    .into_model()?;

println!("Key ID: {:?}", key.key.as_ref().map(|k| &k.kid));
```

### Create Key

```rust
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::{CreateKeyParameters, KeyType};

let params = CreateKeyParameters {
    kty: KeyType::Rsa,
    key_size: Some(2048),
    ..Default::default()
};

let key = client
    .create_key("key-name", params.try_into()?, None)
    .await?
    .into_model()?;
```

### Create EC Key

```rust
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::{CreateKeyParameters, KeyType, CurveName};

let params = CreateKeyParameters {
    kty: KeyType::Ec,
    curve: Some(CurveName::P256),
    ..Default::default()
};

let key = client
    .create_key("ec-key", params.try_into()?, None)
    .await?
    .into_model()?;
```

### Delete Key

```rust
client.delete_key("key-name", None).await?;
```

### List Keys

```rust
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::ResourceExt;
use futures::TryStreamExt;

let mut pager = client.list_key_properties(None)?.into_stream();
while let Some(key) = pager.try_next().await? {
    let name = key.resource_id()?.name;
    println!("Key: {}", name);
}
```

### Backup Key

```rust
let backup = client.backup_key("key-name", None).await?;
// Store backup.value safely
```

### Restore Key

```rust
use azure_security_keyvault_keys::models::RestoreKeyParameters;

let params = RestoreKeyParameters {
    key_bundle_backup: backup_bytes,
};

client.restore_key(params.try_into()?, None).await?;
```

#### Imported: Cryptographic Operations

Key Vault can perform crypto operations without exposing the private key:

```rust
// For cryptographic operations, use the key's operations
// Available operations depend on key type and permissions:
// - encrypt/decrypt (RSA)
// - sign/verify (RSA, EC)
// - wrapKey/unwrapKey (RSA)
```

#### Imported: RBAC Permissions

Assign these Key Vault roles:
- `Key Vault Crypto User` — use keys for crypto operations
- `Key Vault Crypto Officer` — full CRUD on keys

#### Imported: Limitations

- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
