What it does
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application, use azure-prepare instead. This skill runs azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, and az deployment commands with built-in error recovery. Requires .azure/deployment-plan.md from azure-prepare and validated status from azure-validate. WHEN: \"run azd up\", \"run azd deploy\", \"execute deployment\", \"push to production\", \"push to cloud\", \"go live\", \"ship it\", \"bicep deploy\", \"terraform apply\", \"publish to Azure\", \"launch on Azure\". DO NOT USE WHEN: \"create and deploy\", \"build and deploy\", \"create a new app\", \"set up infrastructure\", \"create and deploy to Azure using Terraform\", use azure-prepare for these.

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE, MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status
ValidatedBEFORE executing this skill.
⛔ STOP, PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met:
- azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists- azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status =
ValidatedIf EITHER is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY:
- No plan? → Invoke azure-prepare skill first
- Status not
Validated? → Invoke azure-validate skill first⛔ DO NOT MANUALLY UPDATE THE PLAN STATUS
You are FORBIDDEN from changing the plan status to
Validatedyourself. Only the azure-validate skill is authorized to set this status after running actual validation checks. If you update the status without running validation, deployments will fail.DO NOT ASSUME the app is ready. DO NOT SKIP validation to save time. Skipping steps causes deployment failures. The complete workflow ensures success:
azure-prepare→azure-validate→azure-deploy
Triggers
Activate this skill when user wants to:
- Execute deployment of an already-prepared application (azure.yaml and infra/ exist)
- Push updates to an existing Azure deployment
- Run
azd up,azd deploy, oraz deploymenton a prepared project - Ship already-built code to production
- Deploy an application that already includes API Management (APIM) gateway infrastructure
Scope: This skill executes deployments. It does not create applications, generate infrastructure code, or scaffold projects. For those tasks, use azure-prepare.
