AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED
Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:
azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists with statusApprovedor laterIf the plan is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and invoke azure-prepare first.
The complete workflow ensures success:
azure-prepare→azure-validate→azure-deploy
ask_user — global-rules| # | Action | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Load Plan — Read .azure/deployment-plan.md for recipe and configuration. If missing → run azure-prepare first | .azure/deployment-plan.md |
| 2 | Add Validation Steps — Copy recipe "Validation Steps" to .azure/deployment-plan.md as children of "All validation checks pass" | recipes/README.md, .azure/deployment-plan.md |
| 3 | Run Validation — Execute recipe-specific validation commands | recipes/README.md |
| 4 | Build Verification — Build the project and fix any errors before proceeding | See recipe |
| 5 | Static Role Verification — Review Bicep/Terraform for correct RBAC role assignments in code | role-verification.md |
| 6 | Record Proof — Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with commands run and results | .azure/deployment-plan.md |
| 7 | Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding | See recipe's errors.md |
| 8 | Update Status — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to Validated | .azure/deployment-plan.md |
| 9 | Deploy — Invoke azure-deploy skill | — |
⛔ VALIDATION AUTHORITY
This skill is the ONLY authorized way to set plan status to
Validated. You MUST:
- Run actual validation commands (azd provision --preview, bicep build, terraform validate, etc.)
- Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with the commands you ran and their results
- Only then set status to
ValidatedDo NOT set status to
Validatedwithout running checks and recording proof.
⚠️ MANDATORY NEXT STEP — DO NOT SKIP
After ALL validations pass, you MUST invoke azure-deploy to execute the deployment. Do NOT attempt to run
azd up,azd deploy, or any deployment commands directly. Let azure-deploy handle execution.If any validation failed, fix the issues and re-run azure-validate before proceeding.
