SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It ensures Azure application projects are prepared with a complete, validated deployment plan before any code or infrastructure is generated, preventing missing artifacts and failed downstream validation or deployment steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory plan creation: Generates a .azure/deployment-plan.md skeleton and enforces its completion before proceeding.
  • Specialized technology routing: Detects prompts and codebases for Azure Functions, Copilot SDK, or migration scenarios and delegates to appropriate skills.
  • Compliance and security rules: Embeds global rules such as requiring user confirmation for destructive actions and enforcing Entra‑only authentication for SQL.
  • Typical use: When a user wants to create, modernize, or deploy an Azure app, this skill guides them through planning, research, and artifact generation, then hands off to azure-validate and azure-deploy.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to prepare an Azure app for deployment based on your project description and desired architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions about azure-prepare

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a deployment plan for an Azure app?▼

To create an Azure app deployment plan, you must generate and complete a `.azure/deployment-plan.md` skeleton. This mandatory plan-first workflow ensures all deployment artifacts are validated before infrastructure or code generation begins.

When do I need to enforce Entra-only SQL authentication for Azure deployment?▼

Entra-only SQL authentication is enforced automatically when preparing Azure applications for deployment. This compliance and security rule applies during the planning and configuration phase to secure your infrastructure before any downstream generation.

Does Azure Functions deployment require a specialized preparation workflow?▼

Yes, Azure Functions deployment requires specialized routing. When the preparation process detects Azure Functions, Copilot SDK, or migration scenarios, it delegates the task to dedicated skills for accurate planning and artifact generation.

Can I modernize an existing Azure app without validating quotas first?▼

No, Azure app modernization requires validating quotas before proceeding. The preparation workflow enforces quota validation and plan completion to prevent missing artifacts and failed downstream deployment steps.

What happens after I finish planning and research for my Azure infrastructure?▼

After finishing Azure app planning, research, and artifact generation, the workflow hands off to `azure-validate` and `azure-deploy`. This ensures your infrastructure passes validation before the actual deployment occurs.
