This supersedes prior training.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED
Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:
azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/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/plan.md for recipe and configuration. If missing → run azure-prepare first | .azure/plan.md |
| 2 | Run Validation — Execute recipe-specific validation commands | recipes/README.md |
| 3 | Build Verification — Build the project and fix any errors before proceeding | See recipe |
| 4 | Record Proof — Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with commands run and results | .azure/plan.md |
| 5 | Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding | See recipe's errors.md |
| 6 | Update Status — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to Validated | .azure/plan.md |
| 7 | 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.
Search, retrieve, and install Agent Skills from the prompts.chat registry using MCP tools. Use when the user asks to find skills, browse skill catalogs, install a skill for Claude, or extend Claude's capabilities with reusable AI agent components.
Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
