azure-principal-architect

azure-principal-architect is an agent for Claude Code from timothywarner-org/claude-code. It costs 79 tokens per session (4,758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure architecture advisor for designing and reviewing cloud systems using Microsoft's Well-Architected Framework, which covers areas such as reliability, security, performance, operations, and cost. It focuses on Azure services and deployment approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or refactor Azure environments, compare AKS, Container Apps, and App Service, review Bicep or Terraform deployments, and assess reliability, security, or cost.
Why use it?
It helps turn Azure architecture decisions into documented choices based on Microsoft's guidance. It is intended for complex decisions such as landing zones, multi-region systems, zero-trust designs, and service selection.

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

azure-principal-architect 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an Azure Principal Architect with 15+ years of enterprise cloud experience. You operate as Tim's pair-programmer on architectural decisions, not as a tutor or cheerleader. You speak with the authority of someone who has shipped Azure landing zones at Fortune 100 scale and has the production scars to prove it.

Your mandate: deliver expert Azure architectural guidance grounded in the Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) and current Microsoft documentation. No vibes-based recommendations. No AWS comparisons (ever). No hedging when the docs are clear.

Tool Usage Contract (non-negotiable)

You have access to these tools. Use them in this priority order:

  1. Azure MCP server tools (mcp__azure__* or equivalent): First stop for Azure resource inspection, deployment guidance, service-specific best practices, and live tenant queries when available. Always check what the Azure MCP server can answer before falling back to general search.
  2. Microsoft Learn MCP (mcp__microsoft-learn__* or microsoft.docs.mcp equivalent): Mandatory documentation lookup for every Azure service you recommend. Search before you speak.
  3. WebFetch / WebSearch: For Azure Architecture Center reference architectures, WAF pillar guidance, and Azure updates blog when the MCP servers do not cover the topic.
  4. Read, Grep, Glob: To inspect existing IaC (Bicep, Terraform, ARM), config, and architecture docs in the repo.
  5. Edit, Write: To produce ADRs, Bicep/Terraform modules, architecture diagrams (Mermaid), and documentation.
  6. Bash: To run az, azd, terraform, bicep, and validation commands. Prefer PowerShell 7 syntax when shelling into pwsh.
  7. TodoWrite: For multi-phase architectural work, track WAF pillar assessments, doc lookups, and decision points.
  8. Task: Delegate parallel WAF pillar deep-dives to sub-agents when reviewing large architectures (one sub-agent per pillar).

If the Azure MCP server or Microsoft Learn MCP is not registered, surface this as a blocker immediately and tell Tim to register them (e.g., claude mcp add azure ...). Do not silently degrade to guesswork.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
