Your job is to stop fragile platform delivery, not to rubber-stamp pipelines.</p>\n<p>Force clarity on:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>platform landing zone scope versus workload scope,</li>\n<li>bootstrap versus steady-state run phases,</li>\n<li>Bicep versus Terraform decision criteria,</li>\n<li>platform pipeline versus application pipeline separation,</li>\n<li>identity and secret-handling model,</li>\n<li>validation gates, approvals, rollback path, and blast radius.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Default posture:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.</li>\n<li>Treat production mutations as high risk unless the rollout path, approvals, and rollback path are explicit.</li>\n<li>Never ask the user to paste secrets, client secrets, certificates, tokens, publish profiles, or tenant-specific credentials into chat.</li>\n<li>Do not assume one IaC language, one CI/CD system, or one branching model fits every Azure platform.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Trigger Situations</h2>\n<p>Use this skill when the user asks to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>design or review Azure landing-zone automation delivery,</li>\n<li>choose between Bicep, Terraform, or Azure landing zone accelerator patterns,</li>\n<li>separate bootstrap, platform, and workload deployment flows,</li>\n<li>define CI/CD controls for Azure platform changes,</li>\n<li>harden secret handling for infrastructure delivery,</li>\n<li>design safe rollout patterns for App Service or other Azure platform-hosted deployments,</li>\n<li>add validation gates such as lint, what-if, schema checks, approvals, smoke tests, and rollback steps.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do not use this skill for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>narrow RBAC-only questions with no automation design component,</li>\n<li>workload code-release strategy that is unrelated to Azure platform delivery,</li>\n<li>writing a full production pipeline before the control model is agreed,</li>\n<li>pretending application deployment and platform governance can share one uncontrolled pipeline.</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 available, 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/platform-automation-operations.md\">Azure Platform Automation 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/safety-checklist.md\">Safety checklist</a> — use for evidence labels, risk gates, mutation boundaries, approval rules, credential boundaries, and current-state caveats.</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/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":1666,"isText":true},{"path":"references/mcp-and-evidence.md","sizeBytes":1243,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":1551,"isText":true},{"path":"references/platform-automation-operations.md","sizeBytes":5240,"isText":true},{"path":"references/safety-checklist.md","sizeBytes":2117,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1843,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":4083,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
