Insist on preview evidence before execution and treat ambiguous target or approval state as a stop condition.</p>\n<h2>When to use</h2>\n<p>Use this skill when:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>a cost budget action threshold or notification must be modified for a subscription or management group</li>\n<li>a GPU or HPC VM SKU scale-up is requested and spend-limit approval is required</li>\n<li>a runaway cost event is detected and emergency quota reduction or VM deallocation is needed</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Lean operating rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP; use sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.</li>\n<li>Do not execute a live Azure change until subscription, resource group, active principal, and resource ownership are explicit.</li>\n<li>Prefer what-if, preview, describe, status, dry-run, plan, and rollback evidence before execution.</li>\n<li>If the request skips preview or rollback design, push back.</li>\n<li>Never print secrets, access tokens, connection strings, or raw environment values. Summarize sanitized evidence only.</li>\n<li>Load references only when needed.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/budget-quota-operations.md\">Azure Cost Budget and Quota Operations</a> — use for current service behavior, common failure modes, hard design rules, verification targets, and push-back conditions.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/preflight-commands.md\">Preflight commands</a> — CLI commands to run before any mutation.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/rollback-playbook.md\">Rollback playbook</a> — concrete rollback steps for this service.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/permission-model.md\">Permission model</a> — RBAC role definitions and PIM guidance.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/mcp-and-evidence.md\">MCP and evidence path</a> — use when choosing documentation-based evidence, sampled read-only evidence, or sanitized user evidence.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/safety-checklist.md\">Safety checklist</a> — use for evidence labels, budget thresholds, action groups, data latency, quota/spend approval, and runaway-cost rollback limits.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — execution flow and final response contract.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — authoritative Azure documentation links.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>confirmed target subscription, resource group, and principal</li>\n<li>preflight evidence (what-if diff, status, health check, or plan output)</li>\n<li>approval status for the proposed mutation</li>\n<li>rollback posture or explicit statement of what cannot be rolled back</li>\n<li>post-action verification steps or refusal reason</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1514,"isText":true},{"path":"references/budget-quota-operations.md","sizeBytes":4446,"isText":true},{"path":"references/mcp-and-evidence.md","sizeBytes":1439,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":2197,"isText":true},{"path":"references/permission-model.md","sizeBytes":2385,"isText":true},{"path":"references/preflight-commands.md","sizeBytes":1363,"isText":true},{"path":"references/rollback-playbook.md","sizeBytes":1793,"isText":true},{"path":"references/safety-checklist.md","sizeBytes":1862,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1887,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3033,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
