Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects.

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
# Deploy Model > **Scope — read this first.** This skill creates model deployments **out-of-band** via Azure CLI / MCP / portal. For azd-managed Foundry projects (those scaffolded from `azd ai agent init`), declare deployments in `azure.yaml services.ai-project.deployments[]` instead — `azd ai agent init` writes the entry from the sample manifest and `azd provision` creates the deployment through Bicep. See [foundry-agent/create/create-hosted.md](../../foundry-agent/create/create-hosted.md) for the Golden Path. Use this skill only for: (a) Foundry projects not managed by an azd project, (b) ad-hoc deployments outside the azd lifecycle. Unified entry point for all Azure OpenAI model deployment workflows. Analyzes user intent and routes to the appropriate deployment mode. ## Quick Reference | Mode | When to Use | Sub-Skill | |------|-------------|-----------| | **Preset** | Quick deployment, no customization needed | [preset/SKILL.md](preset/SKILL.md) | | **Customize** | Full control: version, SKU, capacity, RAI policy | [customize/SKILL.md](customize/SKILL.md) | …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/deploy-model@sha256:ae0de869fdaee1a6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
