AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status
ValidatedBEFORE executing this skill.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED
Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met:
- azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists- azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status =
ValidatedIf EITHER is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY:
- No plan? → Invoke azure-prepare skill first
- Status not
Validated? → Invoke azure-validate skill first⛔ DO NOT MANUALLY UPDATE THE PLAN STATUS
You are FORBIDDEN from changing the plan status to
Validatedyourself. Only the azure-validate skill is authorized to set this status after running actual validation checks. If you update the status without running validation, deployments will fail.DO NOT ASSUME the app is ready. DO NOT SKIP validation to save time. Skipping steps causes deployment failures. The complete workflow ensures success:
azure-prepare→azure-validate→azure-deploy
Triggers
Activate this skill when user wants to:
- Execute deployment of an already-prepared application (azure.yaml and infra/ exist)
- Push updates to an existing Azure deployment
- Run
azd up,azd deploy, oraz deploymenton a prepared project - Ship already-built code to production
- Deploy an application that already includes API Management (APIM) gateway infrastructure
Scope: This skill executes deployments. It does not create applications, generate infrastructure code, or scaffold projects. For those tasks, use azure-prepare.
APIM / AI Gateway: Use this skill to deploy applications whose APIM/AI gateway infrastructure was already created during azure-prepare. For creating or changing APIM resources, see APIM deployment guide. For AI governance policies, invoke azure-aigateway skill.
Rules
- Run after azure-prepare and azure-validate
.azure/deployment-plan.mdmust exist with statusValidated- Pre-deploy checklist required — Pre-Deploy Checklist
- ⛔ Destructive actions require
ask_user— global-rules - Scope: deployment execution only — This skill owns execution of
azd up,azd deploy,terraform apply, andaz deploymentcommands. These commands are run through this skill's error recovery and verification pipeline.
Steps
| # | Action | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Check Plan — Read .azure/deployment-plan.md, verify status = Validated AND Validation Proof section is populated |
.azure/deployment-plan.md |
| 2 | Pre-Deploy Checklist — MUST complete ALL steps | Pre-Deploy Checklist |
| 3 | Load Recipe — Based on recipe.type in .azure/deployment-plan.md |
recipes/README.md |
| 4 | RBAC Health Check — For Container Apps + ACR with managed identity: run azd provision --no-prompt, then verify AcrPull role has propagated before proceeding (see checklist) |
Pre-Deploy Checklist — Container Apps RBAC |
| 5 | Execute Deploy — Follow recipe steps | Recipe README |
| 6 | Post-Deploy — Configure SQL managed identity and apply EF migrations if applicable | Post-Deployment |
| 7 | Handle Errors — See recipe's errors.md |
— |
| 8 | Verify Success — Confirm deployment completed and endpoints are accessible | Verification |
| 9 | Live Role Verification — Query Azure to confirm provisioned RBAC roles are correct and sufficient | live-role-verification.md |
| 10 | Report Results — Present deployed endpoint URLs to the user as fully-qualified https:// links |
Verification |
⛔ URL FORMAT RULE
When presenting endpoint URLs to the user, you MUST always use fully-qualified URLs with the
https://scheme (e.g.https://myapp.azurewebsites.net, notmyapp.azurewebsites.net). Many Azure CLI commands return bare hostnames without a scheme — always prependhttps://before presenting them.
⛔ VALIDATION PROOF CHECK
When checking the plan, verify the Validation Proof section (Section 7) contains actual validation results with commands run and timestamps. If this section is empty, validation was bypassed — invoke azure-validate skill first.

How to use this skill
Install azure-deploy by running npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-deploy in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.
No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.
The skill enhances your agent's understanding of azure-deploy, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.
What you get
Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.
Compatibility
This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.
