Azure SDK guidance should not express a preference for either sync or async clients. Updated SKILL.md and azure-sdk-patterns.md to present both forms as first-class options with equal priority, removing the "pick one mode" directives while retaining the rule against mixing sync and async within a single call path.
The previous benchmark table referenced azure-ai-ml-py and other Python skills with descriptions that didn't match their actual content (e.g., azure-ai-ml-py covers workspaces/data/models/compute/jobs/pipelines, not a single train+register workflow). Replace with verified Rust skills from this repository that actually demonstrate the one-workflow/1-2-example criteria. Also drop the misleading 'Tokens Δ' column which implied historical optimization comparisons not applicable to new skills.

For production, either constrain `DefaultAzureCredential` to production-safe credentials or use a specific credential directly. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation. | ||
