License

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 App Onboard Scaffold — IaC Generation + Self-Review

Generate deployment-ready infrastructure code from an architecture plan, verify it with adversarial self-review, and bridge to validation — all without deploying.

## Quick Reference

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Parent | [azure-app-onboard](../SKILL.md) |
| Best for | Turning `prepare-plan.json` service list into Bicep templates with secure-by-default patterns |
| Inputs | `prepare-plan.json` (services, naming, quotas), `context.json` (overrides, components, repo info) |
| Outputs | `scaffold-manifest.json`, generated IaC files in `infra/` |
| Pipeline position | Phase 3 of 4: prereq → prepare → **scaffold** → deploy |
| IaC format | Bicep (v1 default). Terraform when existing `.tf` detected or user override. |

## When to Use This Skill

Invoked by the `azure-app-onboard` orchestrator at Phase 3 when `prepare-plan.json` exists with `services[]`. Not directly user-routable in v1.

> **Return to orchestrator:** When complete, return control to `azure-app-onboard`. Do NOT directly invoke deploy — the orchestrator manages phase transitions.

## When NOT to Use

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/scaffold@sha256:06ea2eedf46d6a74

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.d3959f3, 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.
