Design, review, and validate Azure cloud architectures. Use when choosing Azure compute, storage, networking, or identity services, or applying the Azure Well-Architected Framework to a workload.
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 Cloud Architect End-to-end Azure-specific architecture: service selection, Well-Architected Framework assessment, identity and networking patterns, cost optimization, and operational defaults. Provider-specific complement to our generic `senior-cloud-architect` skill — that one covers cross-cloud patterns; this one knows AKS pricing tiers, when to pick Cosmos over SQL DB, and how Front Door differs from Application Gateway. ## Core Capabilities - **Compute selection** — decision tree across AKS, App Service, Container Apps, Functions, VMs/VMSS, Batch, Static Web Apps, and API gateways. - **Data store selection** — relational, NoSQL/document, cache, blob, time-series, search, vector, and warehouse decision trees. - **Networking design** — VNets, Private/Service Endpoints, gateways (App Gateway, Front Door, Firewall, NAT, VPN/ER), hub-and-spoke and Private Link patterns. - **Identity design** — Entra ID, Managed Identity (system/user-assigned), Workload Identity, Service Principals, and least-privilege RBAC scoping. - **WAF assessment** — score workloads across Reliability, Security, Cost, Operational Excellence, and Performance Efficiency pillars. …

How to install
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/azure-cloud-architect@sha256:ae291546a560649eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
