Azure Static Web Apps (SWA) Orchestration Skill

Master Azure Static Web Apps—Microsoft's managed platform for full-stack web applications. This skill provides focused guidance organized by concern area. Select the resource that matches your current task.

Quick Reference: When to Load Which Resource

Orchestration Protocol

Phase 1: Task Analysis

Classify your task to identify the right resource:

Task Type Classification:

• Architectural: Understanding SWA concepts, choosing frameworks, design patterns → Load core-concepts.md
• Configuration: Setting up routing, security, headers, fallback behavior → Load configuration-routing.md
• API Development: Building functions, calling APIs, error handling → Load api-integration.md
• Authentication: Login flows, role-based access, user info → Load authentication.md
• Deployment: Setting up pipelines, environments, CI/CD configuration → Load deployment-cicd.md
• Operations: Monitoring, troubleshooting, custom domains, SSL → Load operations-monitoring.md

Complexity Indicators:

• Single concern vs. multi-component setup
• Development vs. production requirements
• Pre-existing vs. new project

Phase 2: Resource Selection

Load only the resource(s) needed:

• Single Resource: When task clearly maps to one area
• Sequential Resources: When setup requires multiple steps (e.g., deployment → monitoring)
• Cross-Resource: When building complete solution (e.g., API → authentication → deployment)

Phase 3: Execution & Validation

During Execution:

• Follow examples for your framework/language
• Apply patterns from the selected resource
• Test locally with SWA CLI when appropriate

Before Deployment:

• Verify configuration is complete
• Check staticwebapp.config.json
• Test authentication and API locally
• Review deployment logs

Common Development Scenarios

Scenario 1: Building a React App with API

1. Load core-concepts.md → Understand SWA architecture for React
2. Load configuration-routing.md → Set up SPA routing fallback
3. Load api-integration.md → Build Azure Functions API
4. Load authentication.md → Add login if needed
5. Load deployment-cicd.md → Configure GitHub Actions

Scenario 2: Deploying Existing Angular App

1. Load core-concepts.md → Verify Angular is supported framework
2. Load configuration-routing.md → Set up navigation fallback for Angular routing
3. Load deployment-cicd.md → Configure build output location (dist/<app-name>)
4. Load operations-monitoring.md → Set up monitoring after deployment

Scenario 3: Troubleshooting 404 Errors

1. Load configuration-routing.md → Check navigation fallback and route exclusions
2. Load deployment-cicd.md → Verify app_location and output_location
3. Load operations-monitoring.md → Enable debugging and review logs

Scenario 4: Adding Role-Based Access Control

1. Load authentication.md → Configure auth providers
2. Load configuration-routing.md → Define routes with role restrictions
3. Load api-integration.md → Protect API endpoints with role checks

Decision Tree: Which Resource?

START: What are you doing?
├─ Understanding/designing? → core-concepts.md
├─ Configuring routing/security? → configuration-routing.md
├─ Building/testing API? → api-integration.md
├─ Implementing login/auth? → authentication.md
├─ Setting up deployment? → deployment-cicd.md
└─ Running in production? → operations-monitoring.md

Resource Files Summary

The main SKILL.md is now an orchestration hub. Content is organized into 6 focused resource files:

• core-concepts.md - Architecture, frameworks, key concepts
• configuration-routing.md - staticwebapp.config.json, routing rules, headers
• api-integration.md - Azure Functions, calling APIs, error handling
• authentication.md - Auth providers, login flows, role-based access
• deployment-cicd.md - GitHub Actions, environments, CLI deployment
• operations-monitoring.md - Custom domains, SSL, monitoring, troubleshooting

All content preserved and significantly enhanced with better organization and accessibility.
