copilot-cert-prep: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/azure-bicep-deployment-for-terraform-experts/SKILL.md

azure-bicep-deployment-for-terraform-experts is a skill for Claude Code from timothywarner-org/copilot-cert-prep. It costs 43 tokens per session (892 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for translating Terraform deployment plans into Azure Bicep, Microsoft's language for describing Azure resources. It focuses on predictable deployments and production-safe defaults.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert Terraform-oriented infrastructure plans into Azure Bicep deployment guidance.
Why use it?
It helps Terraform users understand the equivalent Azure deployment approach without carrying over assumptions that do not fit Bicep.

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-bicep-deployment-for-terraform-experts 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-output.js), 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.

Skill: azure.bicep_deployment.terraform_experts

Description: Help Terraform experts design and deploy Azure infrastructure with Bicep while preserving enterprise rigor, determinism, and deployment safety.

Scope

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Terraform to Bicep migration strategy.
  • Bicep deployment plans for teams experienced with Terraform.
  • Azure deployment architecture that requires deterministic Bicep patterns.
  • Mapping Terraform concepts (state, modules, variables, outputs, plan/apply) to Bicep workflows.

Exclusivity Contract

This skill is intended for azure-architect-consultant workflows only.

  • If the active workflow is not Azure architecture or Bicep deployment guidance, do not apply this skill.
  • If the request is implementation-heavy but not architecture-driven, hand off to deployment-focused guidance after producing architecture outputs.

Grounding

Always ground recommendations in official Microsoft docs before finalizing:

  • Microsoft Learn MCP documentation search and fetch.
  • Azure Well-Architected guidance when making design trade-offs.

If a service capability is uncertain, look it up before asserting it.

Bundled assets

  • resources/terraform-to-bicep-patterns.md
  • resources/deployment-playbook.md
  • scripts/validate-output.js

Required workflow

  1. Validate requirements and non-functional constraints.
  2. Build a Terraform to Bicep concept map.
  3. Propose target Bicep module boundaries and scopes.
  4. Define parameterization and environment strategy.
  5. Define deployment sequence and rollback points.
  6. Include governance controls (policy, RBAC, tagging, locks) as explicit steps.
  7. Run checks from resources/deployment-playbook.md.
  8. Validate the draft with scripts/validate-output.js logic before delivering.

Determinism rules

  • Use explicit deployment scopes (tenant, management group, subscription, resource group).
  • Use stable naming patterns and deterministic parameter sets.
  • Separate reusable module code from environment-specific parameter files.
  • Do not mix multiple deployment strategies in one recommendation unless trade-offs require it.
  • Always include preflight validation and what-if checks in deployment flow.

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.
