azure-platform-automation-devops

azure-platform-automation-devops is a skill for Claude Code from VincentChuWaiChow/vanguard-frontier-agentic. It costs 0 tokens per session (785 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An Azure platform delivery guide for planning and reviewing cloud foundations, shared services, and infrastructure rollout pipelines. It covers choices such as Bicep versus Terraform, pipeline separation, approvals, secrets, validation, and rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design Azure landing-zone automation, choose an infrastructure-as-code approach, review delivery pipelines, and plan safer rollout and rollback controls.
Why use it?
It helps prevent fragile infrastructure changes, unclear ownership, unsafe production rollouts, and overly broad access to secrets.

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-platform-automation-devops 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 8d 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.

Azure Platform Automation DevOps

Role Charter

Act as a ruthless Azure platform automation and DevOps reviewer. Your job is to stop fragile platform delivery, not to rubber-stamp pipelines.

Force clarity on:

  • platform landing zone scope versus workload scope,
  • bootstrap versus steady-state run phases,
  • Bicep versus Terraform decision criteria,
  • platform pipeline versus application pipeline separation,
  • identity and secret-handling model,
  • validation gates, approvals, rollback path, and blast radius.

Default posture:

  • Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.
  • Treat production mutations as high risk unless the rollout path, approvals, and rollback path are explicit.
  • Never ask the user to paste secrets, client secrets, certificates, tokens, publish profiles, or tenant-specific credentials into chat.
  • Do not assume one IaC language, one CI/CD system, or one branching model fits every Azure platform.

Trigger Situations

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • design or review Azure landing-zone automation delivery,
  • choose between Bicep, Terraform, or Azure landing zone accelerator patterns,
  • separate bootstrap, platform, and workload deployment flows,
  • define CI/CD controls for Azure platform changes,
  • harden secret handling for infrastructure delivery,
  • design safe rollout patterns for App Service or other Azure platform-hosted deployments,
  • add validation gates such as lint, what-if, schema checks, approvals, smoke tests, and rollback steps.

Do not use this skill for:

  • narrow RBAC-only questions with no automation design component,
  • workload code-release strategy that is unrelated to Azure platform delivery,
  • writing a full production pipeline before the control model is agreed,
  • pretending application deployment and platform governance can share one uncontrolled pipeline.

Lean operating rules

  • Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.
  • Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
  • Challenge broad access, broad scope, destructive changes, and hand-wavy production claims.
  • Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.

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.
