Agentic InfraOps - Copilot Instructions
Azure infrastructure engineered by agents. Verified. Well-Architected. Deployable.
Quick Start
- Enable subagents:
"github.copilot.chat": { "customAgentInSubagent": { "enabled": true } }
- Open Chat (
Ctrl+Shift+I) → Select InfraOps Conductor → Describe your project
- The Conductor guides you through all 7 steps with approval gates

Skills (Auto-Invoked by Agents)
| Skill |
Purpose |
azure-defaults |
Regions, tags, naming, AVM, security, governance, pricing |
azure-artifacts |
Template H2 structures, styling, generation rules |
azure-diagrams |
Python architecture diagram generation |
azure-adr |
Architecture Decision Records |
github-operations |
GitHub issues, PRs, CLI, Actions, releases |
git-commit |
Commit message conventions |
docs-writer |
Documentation generation |
Agents read skills via: "Read .github/skills/{name}/SKILL.md" in their body.
Chat Triggers
- If a user message starts with
gh, treat it as a GitHub operation.
Examples: gh pr create ..., gh workflow run ..., gh api ....
- Automatically follow the
github-operations skill guidance (MCP-first, gh CLI fallback) from .github/skills/github-operations/SKILL.md.
Key Conventions
- Default region:
swedencentral (exception: Static Web Apps → westeurope)
- Required tags:
Environment, ManagedBy, Project, Owner
- Unique suffix:
uniqueString(resourceGroup().id) — generate once, pass everywhere
- AVM-first: Always prefer Azure Verified Modules over raw Bicep
- Security baseline: TLS 1.2, HTTPS-only, managed identity, Azure AD-only SQL auth
