Agent Skills: Azure Validate

Pre-deployment validation for Azure readiness. Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment.

Azure Validate

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/plan.md exists with status Approved or later

If the plan is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and invoke azure-prepare first.

The complete workflow ensures success:

azure-prepareazure-validateazure-deploy

Triggers

  • Check if app is ready to deploy
  • Validate azure.yaml or Bicep
  • Run preflight checks
  • Troubleshoot deployment errors

Rules

  1. Run after azure-prepare, before azure-deploy
  2. All checks must pass—do not deploy with failures
  3. Destructive actions require ask_userglobal-rules

Steps

| # | 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:

  1. Run actual validation commands (azd provision --preview, bicep build, terraform validate, etc.)
  2. Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with the commands you ran and their results
  3. Only then set status to Validated

Do NOT set status to Validated without 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.
