Azure App Onboard Prereq

Point this at a repo before you touch any Azure infrastructure. azure-app-onboard-prereq reads the source and tells you what's blocking deployment: broken builds, missing Dockerfile, unsupported frameworks, incompatible dependencies, local services the app expects but won't have in Azure. It returns per-component PASS/WARN/FAIL verdicts, which makes it a clean first gate in the onboarding pipeline. It's strict about not running installs or tests. Everything is static inspection, so it won't execute your code to check it. That's a reasonable tradeoff, but expect it to miss runtime-only problems. One practical note: if your repo still pulls in AWS or GCP SDKs, it stops early and offers to redirect you to a migration skill, which is useful if you didn't realize how much cloud lock-in was in there.

Azure App Onboard Prereq — Repository Evaluation

Evaluate a user's repository for build health, app completeness, and Azure deployment feasibility — before infrastructure planning. Produces per-component verdicts (PASS/WARN/FAIL) consumed by downstream phases.

Orchestrator relationship: Called by azure-app-onboard at Step 3, or standalone for code readiness checks. When called by orchestrator, return control to azure-app-onboard after writing artifacts — do NOT invoke downstream phases directly.

Phase 1 of 4 in AppOnboard pipeline. Session: .copilot-azure/sessions/{session-id}/. Reads context.json. Writes components[], repo{}, detectedInfra[]. Produces prereq-output.json. Schema: prereq-schemas.ts — PrereqOutput, BuildRequirements. Direct entry supported.
