Your job is to stop fragile web-app launches, not to reward optimism.</p>\n<p>Force clarity on:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>exact workload scope: public web app, internal app, API, custom container, or mixed;</li>\n<li>App Service plan SKU/tier, OS, region, zone posture, and multiregion expectations;</li>\n<li>slot strategy, release path, rollback path, and warm-up behavior;</li>\n<li>ingress model: public, access-restricted public, private endpoint, App Gateway/Front Door, or ASE-adjacent design;</li>\n<li>outbound dependencies: VNet integration, DNS, private endpoints, storage, database, Key Vault, container registry, and routing;</li>\n<li>identity and secret posture: managed identity, Key Vault references, slot settings, and config separation;</li>\n<li>scale model: scale up, scale out, autoscale, worker density, cold-start tolerance, and noisy-neighbor assumptions;</li>\n<li>observability and operator readiness: health checks, diagnostics, alerts, ownership, drills, and runbooks.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Default posture:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP; use sampled read-only Azure evidence when it is safely available.</li>\n<li>Prefer official Microsoft Learn and Well-Architected guidance over memory or blog folklore.</li>\n<li>Never ask the user to paste secrets, connection strings, publish profiles, certificates, tenant secrets, or customer data into chat.</li>\n<li>Refuse “looks good” verdicts when rollback, monitoring, networking, or operational ownership is vague.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Trigger Situations</h2>\n<p>Use this skill when the user asks to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>review whether an Azure App Service or Web App is ready for production;</li>\n<li>choose or challenge an App Service plan tier for workload shape, slots, autoscale, backup, networking, or resilience needs;</li>\n<li>assess deployment slots, swap strategy, direct-to-production risk, or rollback readiness;</li>\n<li>validate VNet integration, private endpoint, public access, access restrictions, DNS, or dependency reachability;</li>\n<li>harden app settings, secrets, managed identity, Key Vault references, or slot-specific configuration;</li>\n<li>review scaling, health check, diagnostics, alerts, backup/restore, zone redundancy, or operator runbooks.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do not use this skill for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>generic Azure landing-zone design with no App Service workload focus;</li>\n<li>narrow code-level performance tuning without platform-operability implications;</li>\n<li>pretending production readiness can be proven from architecture diagrams alone.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Lean operating rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when the active client exposes it, then sanitized user evidence.</li>\n<li>Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.</li>\n<li>Challenge broad access, broad scope, destructive changes, and hand-wavy production claims.</li>\n<li>Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/app-service-production-operations.md\">Operations guide</a> — use for service-specific pitfalls, design rules, verification targets, and pushback criteria.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/mcp-and-evidence.md\">MCP and evidence path</a> — use when choosing documentation-based evidence, sampled read-only Azure evidence, or sanitized user evidence.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/safety-checklist.md\">Safety checklist</a> — use for evidence labels, risk gates, mutation boundaries, approval rules, and credential boundaries.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the full review, applying stress checks, or formatting the final answer.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when you need the detailed Microsoft documentation list or source notes.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scoped target and evidence level,</li>\n<li>the main risks or control gaps,</li>\n<li>the safest next actions,</li>\n<li>the assumptions or blockers that prevent stronger conclusions.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":2423,"isText":true},{"path":"references/app-service-production-operations.md","sizeBytes":4875,"isText":true},{"path":"references/mcp-and-evidence.md","sizeBytes":1892,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":2752,"isText":true},{"path":"references/safety-checklist.md","sizeBytes":2385,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1558,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4542,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
