Azure Prepare
Microsoft's Azure deployment prep skill that generates the infrastructure code and config files you need before deploying to Azure. It creates Bicep or Terraform templates, azure.yaml files, and Dockerfiles based on your app type. The skill runs through a mandatory planning phase first, writing a deployment plan to disk that other Azure skills depend on. It handles the routing logic to specialized skills for things like Copilot SDK apps or cloud migrations, then falls back to Azure-native patterns. Covers everything from basic web apps to Function apps with durable workflows, but stops short of actual deployment.
