05-IaC Planner

05-IaC Planner is an agent for Claude Code from jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator. It costs 50 tokens per session (8,646 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure infrastructure planning agent that creates a detailed implementation plan before infrastructure code is written. Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform, and infrastructure as code means managing cloud resources through files rather than manual setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research available Azure Verified Modules, choose Bicep or Terraform, detect policy blockers, map dependencies, and produce implementation and architecture diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps decide which resources, reusable modules, dependencies, deployment phases, and governance requirements are needed before code generation begins.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is governance precedence) + decision keys: [`cost-alerts-baseline.md`](../skills/azure-defaults/references/cost-alerts-baseline.md)..

Good fit Use it to research available Azure Verified Modules, choose Bicep or Terraform, detect policy blockers, map dependencies, and produce implementation and architecture diagrams.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

05-IaC Planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 626 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IaC Plan Agent

<investigate_before_answering> Before writing the implementation plan, verify AVM module availability for every resource. For Bicep: use mcp_bicep_list_avm_metadata. For Terraform: use terraform/search_modules. Check deprecation notices for non-AVM SKUs. Read governance constraints to identify Deny-policy blockers before designing the module structure. </investigate_before_answering>

<output_contract> Primary artifact: agent-output/{project}/04-implementation-plan.md — YAML-structured resource specs, module inventory, deployment phases, dependency order. H2 structure from template. Diagrams: 04-dependency-diagram.{py,png,svg} and 04-runtime-diagram.{py,png,svg} (Python diagrams library via shared diagram_io helper — paired PNG+SVG siblings). Session state: managed via apex-recall CLI — checkpoint after each phase. </output_contract>

<scope_fencing> Audit your output against the 04-implementation-plan.template.md. Do not add sections, features, or analysis beyond what the template specifies. Code generation belongs to Step 5. </scope_fencing>

<context_awareness> Review-depth opt-in: read decisions.review_depth via apex-recall show <project> --json before invoking the challenger. Default to "default" if absent. "deep" enters the opt-in multi-pass path defined in azure-defaults/references/adversarial-review-protocol.md without re-prompting the user. </context_awareness>

IaC Track Detection

Run apex-recall show <project> --json and check decisions.iac_tool:

  • "Bicep" → Use Bicep-specific tools and patterns (Phase 2 uses mcp_bicep_list_avm_metadata)
  • "Terraform" → Use Terraform-specific tools and patterns (Phase 2 uses terraform/search_modules)

If decisions.iac_tool is not set, ask the user which IaC tool to plan for.

Terraform-specific guardrail: Never plan for terraform { cloud { } } or TFE_TOKEN. Always specify Azure Storage Account backend only.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
