Azure Validate

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training.

⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED

Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:

azure-prepare was invoked and completed → .azure/plan.md exists with status Approved or later

If the plan is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and invoke azure-prepare first.

The complete workflow ensures success:

azure-prepare → azure-validate → azure-deploy

Triggers

• Check if app is ready to deploy

• Validate azure.yaml or Bicep

• Run preflight checks

• Troubleshoot deployment errors

Rules

• Run after azure-prepare, before azure-deploy

• All checks must pass—do not deploy with failures

• ⛔ Destructive actions require ask_user — global-rules

Steps

Action Reference

1 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 Build Verification — Build the project and fix any errors before proceeding See recipe

4 Record Proof — Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with commands run and results .azure/plan.md

5 Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding See recipe's errors.md

6 Update Status — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to Validated

.azure/plan.md

7 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.
