Use this skill for Azure security posture review, baseline hardening, managed identity adoption, Key Vault posture, private access decisions, Azure Policy guardrails, and logging or audit gap analysis. Trigger when the user asks how to harden an Azure workload or platform without defaulting to broad access or public exposure.
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 Security Posture Hardening ## Purpose Review and harden Azure platform or workload posture using operator-grade controls: - least privilege, - managed identities over stored secrets, - private access where justified, - Key Vault hardening, - policy-enforced controls, - audit and diagnostic coverage, - staged remediation with rollout safety. ## When to use Use this skill when the user asks for: - Azure security baseline or posture review, - managed identity migration guidance, - Key Vault hardening or secret-handling critique, - private endpoint or public exposure decisions for sensitive services, - Azure Policy or Defender-backed hardening recommendations, - logging, diagnostics, or auditability expectations for Azure security controls, - zero-trust-oriented review of platform or workload controls. Do not use this skill as a full compliance audit, incident forensics runbook, or a substitute for deep service-specific implementation docs. ## Lean operating rules - Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence. …

How to install
mdr add vincentchuwaichow/vanguard-frontier-agentic/azure-security-posture-hardening@sha256:6ec64bed95e80cdaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.2, 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.
