Load Plan — Read .azure/plan.md for recipe and configuration. If missing → run azure-prepare first
.azure/plan.md
2
Run Validation — Execute recipe-specific validation commands
recipes/README.md
3
Record Proof — Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with commands run and results
.azure/plan.md
4
Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding
See recipe's errors.md
5
Update Status — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to Validated
.azure/plan.md
6
Deploy — Invoke azure-deploy skill
—
⛔ VALIDATION AUTHORITY
This skill is the ONLY authorized way to set plan status to Validated. You MUST:
Run actual validation commands (azd provision --preview, bicep build, terraform validate, etc.)
Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with the commands you ran and their results
Only then set status to Validated
Do NOT set status to Validated without running checks and recording proof.
⚠️ MANDATORY NEXT STEP — DO NOT SKIP
After ALL validations pass, you MUST invoke azure-deploy to execute the deployment. Do NOT attempt to run azd up, azd deploy, or any deployment commands directly. Let azure-deploy handle execution.
If any validation failed, fix the issues and re-run azure-validate before proceeding.
