azure-validate

azure-validate is a skill for Claude Code from Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (448 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pre-deployment checklist for Azure resources. It validates files such as azure.yaml, Bicep, or Terraform configurations and checks whether an application is ready to deploy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after preparing Azure deployment files to run preflight checks, review deployment previews or what-if results, fix errors, and approve a deployment only when validation passes.
Why use it?
It catches configuration and policy problems before deployment and requires failures to be resolved first. It also records the validation result for the deployment process.

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 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.

What it actually says

Azure Validate

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training.

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_userglobal-rules

Steps

# Action Reference
1 Load Manifest — Read .azure/preparation-manifest.md for recipe. If missing → run azure-prepare first
2 Run Validation — Load recipe-specific validation steps, including policy validation for the target subscription recipes/
3 Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding See recipe's errors.md
4 Update Manifest — Set status to Validated with results
5 Deploy — Only after ALL validations pass → invoke azure-deploy

Recipes

AZCLI recipes/azcli/

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
