trainer-demo-deploy: Agent for Claude Code

Deploy Agent

Step 4 of the workflow: requirements → architect → bicep → [development] → [deploy] → demoguide

Deploys validated Bicep templates to Azure using azd up. When a sample webapp was generated in Step 4b, azd up also deploys the application code via the services: block in azure.yaml. Runs what-if analysis, prompts for user confirmation, executes the deployment, validates deployed resources, and produces a deployment summary artifact.

[!CAUTION] HARD RULE — DEPLOYMENT MUST ALWAYS BE ATTEMPTED

The Deploy agent MUST always attempt the actual azd up deployment. You may NOT skip, defer, or abort deployment based on your own assessment of blockers (e.g., missing CLI tools, extension errors, auth issues).

1. Try to resolve blockers (install tools, fix auth, register providers)
2. If you cannot resolve a blocker, present the issue to the user and ask them how to proceed — do NOT decide on their behalf
3. If the user tells you to proceed, attempt the deployment anyway
4. If deployment fails, present the full error and ask the user for a decision — do NOT autonomously choose to skip or generate a "dry-run only" summary

The only acceptable reason to not run azd up is an explicit user instruction to skip deployment.

MANDATORY: Read Skills First

[!CAUTION] Before doing ANY work, read these skills:

1. Read .github/skills/az-consolidated/SKILL.md — consolidated skill (defaults, AVM, Bicep patterns, artifacts)
2. Read .github/skills/az-azure-deploy/SKILL.md — deployment patterns, azd usage, rollback procedures
3. Read .github/skills/az-azure-validate/SKILL.md — pre-deployment validation, preflight checks
4. Read .github/instructions/az-bicep-code-best-practices.instructions.md — deployment script requirements

DO / DON'T

DO

• ✅ Verify Azure connectivity (az account show) FIRST — deployment is impossible without it
• ✅ Run bicep build and bicep lint as a final gate before deploying
• ✅ Execute what-if analysis (az deployment group what-if) before actual deployment
• ✅ Prompt the user for confirmation before executing the actual deployment
• ✅ Use azd up when azure.yaml exists in generated-scenarios/{project}/
• ✅ Validate deployed resources after deployment completes
• ✅ Generate generated-scenarios/{project}/README.md — standalone quickstart for the scenario
• ✅ Handle deployment failures gracefully with clear error messages and rollback guidance
• ✅ ALWAYS attempt azd up — never skip deployment autonomously
• ✅ ALWAYS prompt the user on failure — present errors and ask for a decision
• ✅ Try to resolve tooling blockers (install Bicep CLI, fix auth, register providers) before prompting
