SKILL.md

name: az description: Operate Azure CLI (`az`) for authentication checks, subscription/context inspection, resource group and deployment lookups, and safe command planning. Use when tasks mention Azure CLI commands, Azure subscriptions or tenants, resource groups, ARM/Bicep deployment status, or Azure account troubleshooting from a terminal.

Azure CLI

Intent Router

Request	Reference	Load When
Install tool, first-time setup	`references/install-and-setup.md`	User needs to install Azure CLI or do initial configuration
Command patterns, ARM/Bicep	`references/command-cookbook.md`	User needs resource patterns, ARM deployment, AKS, Key Vault, or RBAC examples
Authentication, subscriptions	`references/auth-and-config.md`	User needs login setup, service principal, multi-tenant, or sovereign cloud configuration

Workflow

Run preflight before any Azure command workflow.
Check authentication and subscription context.
Choose a core command track and run inspect commands first.
Require explicit user confirmation before write/delete commands.
Re-run context checks and summarize outcomes.

# Log in, confirm active subscription, and list resource groups
az login
az account show
az group list --output table

Preflight

Use bundled scripts for deterministic checks:

scripts/az-preflight.sh
scripts/az-auth-status.sh
scripts/az-context.sh
scripts/az-diagnostics.sh [--json] [--out <file>]

If the environment cannot access ~/.azure, set:

export AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=/tmp/az-config

Core Command Tracks

Auth and subscription context: az login, az account show, az account list --output table, az account set --subscription <id-or-name>
Resource group and inventory inspection: az group list --output table, az resource list --resource-group <rg> --output table
Deployment inspection: az deployment group list --resource-group <rg> --output table, az deployment group show --resource-group <rg> --name <deployment>
Output shaping and filters: Use --query and --output json|table|yaml for repeatable results.

Safety Guardrails

Always run context checks before mutating commands.
Treat create/update/delete commands as high impact and ask for explicit confirmation first.
Prefer read/list/show commands before create, update, delete, and deployment writes.
Never print secrets; avoid commands that output credential material.

Troubleshooting

If az fails because config directory is not writable, set AZURE_CONFIG_DIR to a writable path.
If auth fails, run az login and re-check with scripts/az-auth-status.sh.
If output is noisy, add --only-show-errors and use --query to reduce volume.
If commands fail due to network issues, capture diagnostics output first, then retry once connectivity is restored.
