capacity-planning

capacity-planning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ricmmartins/azure-sre-agent-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,558 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for checking whether Azure cloud resources, quotas, and limits can support expected growth. It uses current usage and growth estimates to identify capacity risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Azure capacity reviews, quota checks, scaling readiness, load-test preparation, Black Friday or launch planning, and growth projections.
Why use it?
It helps avoid outages or throttling when workloads grow or traffic suddenly increases. It also highlights limits that may need attention before an event or launch.

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

capacity-planning 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 12d 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.

Capacity Planning

Purpose

Analyze current resource utilization, quota consumption, and growth trends to predict capacity risks and recommend scaling actions before limits are hit.

When to use this skill

  • User asks "will our infrastructure handle the traffic spike?"
  • User asks about quotas, limits, or capacity
  • Pre-event planning (Black Friday, product launch, marketing campaign)
  • Quarterly capacity review
  • After hitting a quota or throttling limit

Pre-check

Confirm with the user:

  • Scope: which subscriptions and regions
  • Time horizon: when is the expected load increase? (default: 30 days)
  • Expected growth factor (e.g., 2x, 5x, 10x current load)
  • Critical workloads to prioritize

Assessment procedure

Step 1: Quota utilization

Check current quota usage across all critical resource providers.

az vm list-usage --location <region> -o table
az network list-usages --location <region> -o table
az storage account list --query "length(@)"

Check for:

  • vCPU quotas: Total and per-family (Dv5, Ev5, etc.) — flag if > 70% utilized
  • Public IPs: Usage vs. limit
  • Load balancers: Usage vs. limit
  • Network interfaces: Usage vs. limit
  • Storage accounts per subscription: Usage vs. 250 limit
  • App Service plans per region
  • AKS clusters per subscription

Build a quota utilization table. Use Unicode emoji characters directly (🟢🟡🔴) — never use emoji shortcodes like :green_circle: or :red_circle:.

Resource Region Used Limit Utilization Risk
Total vCPUs East US 85 100 85% 🔴
Dv5 vCPUs East US 32 50 64% 🟡
Public IPs East US 8 20 40% 🟢

Step 2: Compute capacity

Analyze current compute utilization and headroom.

  1. VM utilization (last 14 days):
    • Average and P95 CPU across all VMs
    • Average and P95 memory (if available via Log Analytics)
    • Flag VMs consistently > 80% CPU or memory
