Azure Deploy

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status Validated BEFORE executing this skill.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met: 1. azure-prepare was invoked and completed → .azure/deployment-plan.md exists 2. azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status = Validated If 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 Validated yourself. 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, or az deployment on 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

  1. Run after azure-prepare and azure-validate
  2. .azure/deployment-plan.md must exist with status Validated
  3. Pre-deploy checklist required — Pre-Deploy Checklist
  4. ⛔ Destructive actions require `ask_user` — global-rules
  5. Scope: deployment execution only — This skill owns execution of azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands. These commands are run through this skill's error recovery and verification pipeline.

Steps

#ActionReference
1Check Plan — Read .azure/deployment-plan.md, verify status = Validated AND Validation Proof section is populated.azure/deployment-plan.md
2Pre-Deploy Checklist — MUST complete ALL stepsPre-Deploy Checklist
3Load Recipe — Based on recipe.type in .azure/deployment-plan.mdrecipes/README.md
4RBAC 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
5Execute Deploy — Follow recipe stepsRecipe README
6Post-Deploy — Configure SQL managed identity and apply EF migrations if applicablePost-Deployment
7Handle Errors — See recipe's errors.md—
8Verify Success — Confirm deployment completed and endpoints are accessibleVerification
9Live Role Verification — Query Azure to confirm provisioned RBAC roles are correct and sufficientlive-role-verification.md
10Report Results — Present deployed endpoint URLs to the user as fully-qualified https:// linksVerification
⛔ 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, not myapp.azurewebsites.net). Many Azure CLI commands return bare hostnames without a scheme — always prepend https:// 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.

azure-prepare

Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.
