Performs comprehensive preflight validation of Bicep deployments to Azure, including template syntax validation, what-if analysis, and permission checks. Use this skill before any deployment to Azure to preview changes, identify potential issues, and ensure the deployment will succeed. Activate when users mention deploying to Azure, validating Bicep files, checking deployment permissions, previewing infrastructure changes, running what-if, or preparing for azd provision.
Expert knowledge for Azure Deployment Environments development including troubleshooting, best practices, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when designing ADE catalogs, environment.yaml schemas, custom images, RBAC/roles, or CI/CD image pipelines, and other Azure Deployment Environments related development tasks. Not for Azure DevTest Labs (use azure-devtest-labs), Azure Dev Box (use azure-dev-box), Azure Integration Environments (use azure-integration-environments), Azure Managed Applications (use azure-managed-applications).
Expert knowledge for Azure Blueprints development including troubleshooting, architecture & design patterns, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when defining Azure Blueprints, mapping built-in compliance sets, automating via CLI/PowerShell/REST, or fixing assignment errors, and other Azure Blueprints related development tasks. Not for Azure Policy (use azure-policy), Azure Resource Manager (use azure-resource-manager), Azure Managed Applications (use azure-managed-applications), Azure Deployment Environments (use azure-deployment-environments).
Execute Azure deployments after preparation and validation are complete. USE FOR: azd up, azd deploy, push to Azure, publish to Azure, ship to production, launch on Azure, go live, release to Azure, deploy web app, deploy container app, deploy static site, deploy Azure Functions, azd provision, infrastructure deployment, bicep deploy, terraform apply, deploy with terraform. Supports azd with Bicep, azd with Terraform, pure Bicep, pure Terraform, and Azure CLI deployments. DO NOT USE FOR: preparing new apps (use azure-prepare), validating before deploy (use azure-validate).
**CRITICAL**: Run azure-validate before deploying Azure resources. Validates Azure deployment readiness. USE FOR: assess if application is ready to deploy to Azure, validate azure.yaml or Bicep configuration files, run Azure preflight checks, review deployment previews and what-if analysis, verify Azure infrastructure configuration, troubleshoot Azure deployment errors. DO NOT USE FOR: creating new applications (use azure-prepare), executing deployments (use azure-deploy).

USE FOR: build copilot app, create copilot app, copilot SDK, @github/copilot-sdk, scaffold copilot project, copilot-powered app, deploy copilot app, host on azure, azure model, BYOM, bring your own model, use my own model, azure openai model, DefaultAzureCredential, self-hosted model, copilot SDK service, chat app with copilot, copilot-sdk-service template, azd init copilot, CopilotClient, createSession, sendAndWait, GitHub Models API. DO NOT USE FOR: using Copilot (not building with it), Copilot Extensions, Azure Functions without Copilot, general web apps without copilot SDK, Foundry agent hosting (use microsoft-foundry skill), agent evaluation (use microsoft-foundry skill).
Publish and deploy C# MCP servers. Covers NuGet packaging for stdio servers, Docker containerization for HTTP servers, Azure Container Apps and App Service deployment, and publishing to the official MCP Registry. USE FOR: packaging stdio MCP servers as NuGet tools, creating Dockerfiles for HTTP MCP servers, deploying to Azure Container Apps or App Service, publishing to the MCP Registry at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io, configuring server.json for MCP package metadata, setting up CI/CD for MCP server publishing. DO NOT USE FOR: publishing general NuGet libraries (not MCP-specific), general Docker guidance unrelated to MCP, creating new servers (use mcp-csharp-create), debugging (use mcp-csharp-debug), writing tests (use mcp-csharp-test).
Creates and validates Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates for infrastructure deployment. Use when creating ARM templates, deploying Azure infrastructure as code, or validating Azure templates.
Aspire orchestration for cloud-native distributed applications in any language (C#, Python, Node.js, Go). Handles dependency management, local dev with Docker, Azure deployment, service discovery, and observability dashboards. Use when setting up microservices, containerized apps, or polyglot distributed systems.
Expert knowledge for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets development including troubleshooting, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when configuring VMSS autoscale/upgrade modes, zones/PPGs, Spot+standby pools, ADE+Key Vault, or CLI/ARM deployments, and other Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets related development tasks. Not for Azure Virtual Machines (use azure-virtual-machines), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) (use azure-kubernetes-service), Azure Container Instances (use azure-container-instances), Azure App Service (use azure-app-service).
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application — use azure-prepare instead. This skill runs azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands with built-in error recovery. Requires .azure/deployment-plan.md from azure-prepare and validated status from azure-validate. WHEN: "run azd up", "run azd deploy", "execute deployment", "push to production", "push to cloud", "go live", "ship it", "bicep deploy", "terraform apply", "publish to Azure", "launch on Azure". DO NOT USE WHEN: "create and deploy", "build and deploy", "create a new app", "set up infrastructure", "create and deploy to Azure using Terraform" — use azure-prepare for these.
