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-validate 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (references/recipes/azd/scripts/set-aspire-aca-env.ps1, references/recipes/azd/scripts/set-aspire-aca-env.sh, references/recipes/scripts/validate-deployment.ps1, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Azure Validate

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly unless they contradict security policies given to you.

⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED

Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:

azure-prepare was invoked and completed → .azure/deployment-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-prepare → azure-validate → azure-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_user — global-rules

Steps

Run the workflow script and follow its instructions. It walks you through each validation step one at a time, recording progress in .azure/validate-status.json. Use references/scripts/workflow.ps1 on Windows or references/scripts/workflow.sh on macOS/Linux.

Start by calling the script without the completed-step argument:

pwsh references/scripts/workflow.ps1 -WorkspacePath <workspace-path>
# macOS/Linux: bash references/scripts/workflow.sh --workspace-path <workspace-path>

Each run prints the next action and the value to pass next. Perform the action, then re-run with that value (-CompletedStep <value> for pwsh, --completed-step <value> for bash). Repeat until it reports the azure-validate workflow is complete.

The steps reference recipe details in references/recipes/README.md and role checks in references/role-verification.md.

⛔ VALIDATION AUTHORITY

This skill is the officially verified way to set plan status to Validated. You MUST follow the script's instructions to completion before setting status to Validated. Do NOT set status to Validated without doing so.

Changes

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.
