azure-deployment-preflight skillA

azure-deployment-preflight is agent-read markdown (skill) from fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall: Performs comprehensive preflight validation of Bicep deployments to Azure, including template syntax validation, what-if analysis, and permission checks. Use this skill before any deployment to Azure to preview changes, identify potential issues, and ensure the deployment will succeed. Activate when users mention deploying to Azure, validating Bicep files, checking deployment permissions, previewing infrastructure changes, running what-if, or preparing for azd provision..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Azure Deployment Preflight Validation

This skill validates Bicep deployments before execution, supporting both Azure CLI (`az`) and Azure Developer CLI (`azd`) workflows.

## When to Use This Skill

- Before deploying infrastructure to Azure
- When preparing or reviewing Bicep files
- To preview what changes a deployment will make
- To verify permissions are sufficient for deployment
- Before running `azd up`, `azd provision`, or `az deployment` commands

## Validation Process

Follow these steps in order. Continue to the next step even if a previous step fails—capture all issues in the final report.

### Step 1: Detect Project Type

Determine the deployment workflow by checking for project indicators:

1. **Check for azd project**: Look for `azure.yaml` in the project root
   - If found → Use **azd workflow**
   - If not found → Use **az CLI workflow**

2. **Locate Bicep files**: Find all `.bicep` files to validate
   - For azd projects: Check `infra/` directory first, then project root
   - For standalone: Use the file specified by the user or search common locations (`infra/`, `deploy/`, project root)
