SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Ensures Azure Bicep deployments are validated before execution to catch syntax errors, permission issues, and unintended resource changes so deployments are safer and predictable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bicep Syntax Validation: Runs bicep build to surface compilation errors and warnings with line/column diagnostics.
  • What-If Deployment Preview: Executes az or azd what-if flows with Provider and ProviderNoRbac fallbacks to show creates, modifies, and deletes.
  • Permission and Environment Checks: Detects project type, finds parameter files, verifies login and RBAC, and records limitations in a consolidated report.
  • Use Case: Run a preflight for an azd project or standalone main.bicep to produce a preflight-report.md summarizing issues and remediation steps.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run a preflight validation for the repository's Bicep templates, detect parameters, perform what-if analysis, and generate preflight-report.md in the project root.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-deployment-preflight

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preview Azure deployment changes before executing a Bicep template?▼

Bicep syntax validation runs the bicep build command to surface compilation errors and warnings with specific line and column diagnostics. This catches template issues early before you attempt a what-if deployment preview or actual deployment.

Can I validate Bicep templates for syntax errors before running an Azure what-if deployment?▼

Yes, Bicep syntax validation runs bicep build to surface compilation errors and warnings with line and column diagnostics. This catches template issues early before you attempt a what-if deployment preview or actual deployment.

Does the Azure what-if preview work without RBAC permissions?▼

You can generate a preflight report by asking the agent to validate your repository's Bicep templates, detect parameters, and perform what-if analysis. The Skill outputs a structured preflight-report.md in the project root summarizing issues and remediation steps.

How do I generate a preflight report for an azd project's Bicep templates?▼

You generate a preflight report by asking the agent to validate your repository's Bicep templates, detect parameters, and perform what-if analysis. The Skill outputs a structured preflight-report.md in the project root summarizing issues and remediation steps.

What does an Azure Bicep preflight validation check for?▼

An Azure Bicep preflight validation checks for syntax errors, permission issues, and unintended resource changes. It performs bicep build syntax validation, what-if deployment previews, parameter file detection, and environment checks to make deployments safer and predictable.
