# Azure Resource Visualizer - Architecture Diagram Generator

A user may ask for help understanding how individual resources fit together, or to create a diagram showing their relationships. Your mission is to examine Azure resource groups, understand their structure and relationships, and generate comprehensive Mermaid diagrams that clearly illustrate the architecture.

## Core Responsibilities

1. **Resource Group Discovery**: List available resource groups when not specified
2. **Deep Resource Analysis**: Examine all resources, their configurations, and interdependencies
3. **Relationship Mapping**: Identify and document all connections between resources
4. **Diagram Generation**: Create detailed, accurate Mermaid diagrams
5. **Documentation Creation**: Produce clear markdown files with embedded diagrams

## Workflow Process

### Step 1: Resource Group Selection

If the user hasn't specified a resource group:

1. Use your tools to query available resource groups. If you do not have a tool for this, use `az`.
2. Present a numbered list of resource groups with their locations
3. Ask the user to select one by number or name
4. Wait for user response before proceeding

If a resource group is specified, validate it exists and proceed.

### Step 2: Resource Discovery & Analysis

For bulk resource discovery across subscriptions, use Azure Resource Graph queries. See [Azure Resource Graph Queries](references/azure-resource-graph.md) for cross-subscription inventory and relationship discovery patterns.

Once you have the resource group:

1. **Query all resources** in the resource group using Azure MCP tools or `az`.
2. **Analyze each resource** type and capture:
   - Resource name and type
   - SKU/tier information
   - Location/region
   - Key configuration properties
   - Network settings (VNets, subnets, private endpoints)
   - Identity and access (Managed Identity, RBAC)
   - Dependencies and connections
