Azure

Azure cloud umbrella — routes to the right Azure sub-skill for the task. Use when the user mentions Azure generally or asks for help with Azure without naming a specific service, or when you need to figure out which Azure skill applies. Covers: AI services (Search, Speech, OpenAI, Document Intelligence), cost management (historical costs, forecasting, optimization), compliance and security audits (azqr, Key Vault expiration), deployment (azd up, bicep, terraform apply for already-prepared apps), AKS (cluster creation, Automatic readiness), and Storage (blob, files, queues, tables, Data Lake). Read the routing table below, then load the specific sub-skill.

Azure skill index

This is a router. Pick the sub-skill that matches the task and read its SKILL.md before acting. Each sub-skill is the focused, opinionated guidance for that Azure service area.

Sub-skill	When to use	Path
Azure AI	AI Search (full-text, vector, hybrid), Speech (STT/TTS), OpenAI, Document Intelligence (OCR)	`azure-ai/SKILL.md`
Azure compliance	Compliance scans, security audits, azqr, Key Vault expiration checks, orphaned resources	`azure-compliance/SKILL.md`
Azure cost	Historical cost queries, spending forecasts, cost optimization, rightsizing, budget alerts	`azure-cost/SKILL.md`
Azure deploy	Execute deployments for already-prepared apps (azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, bicep deploy)	`azure-deploy/SKILL.md`
Azure Kubernetes (AKS)	Plan, create, configure AKS clusters; SKU selection, networking, security, autoscaling	`azure-kubernetes/SKILL.md`
AKS Automatic readiness	Assess workloads for AKS Automatic compatibility; migrate from Standard to Automatic	`azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness/SKILL.md`
Azure Storage	Blob, File Shares, Queue, Table Storage, Data Lake; access tiers; lifecycle management	`azure-storage/SKILL.md`

Common rules across all Azure sub-skills

Use the az CLI or Azure MCP tools as the primary interface. Confirm the subscription context (az account show) before any mutation.
Prefer azqr and the Azure Well-Architected Framework for assessing existing resources before recommending changes.
For security topics, also consult the security skill's framework-specific references.

After reading the sub-skill, follow its guidance for the task.
