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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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) …

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/azure-deployment-preflight@sha256:b2ab7b2a6a2d97d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
