SkillOfficialAudited: no issues

Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.

Follow the step-by-step instructions in workflow.md to execute the 7 phases of infrastructure planning and provisioning.

Tool	Purpose
`insights_get`	Retrieve insights about the user's existing Azure environment to guide planning decisions
`get_azure_bestpractices_get`	Azure best practices for code generation, operations, and deployment
`wellarchitectedframework_serviceguide_get`	WAF service guide for a specific Azure service
`microsoft_docs_search`	Search Microsoft Learn for relevant documentation chunks
`microsoft_docs_fetch`	Fetch full content of a Microsoft Learn page by URL

Error	Cause	Fix
MCP tool error or not available	Tool call timeout, connection error, or tool doesn't exist	Retry once; fall back to reference files and notify user if unresolved
Plan approval missing	`meta.status` is not `approved`	Stop and prompt user for approval before IaC generation or deployment
IaC validation failure	`az bicep build` or `terraform validate` returns errors	Fix the generated code and re-validate; notify user if unresolved
Pairing constraint violation	Incompatible SKU or resource combination	Fix in plan before proceeding to IaC generation
Infra plan or IaC files not found	Files written to wrong location or not created	Verify files exist at `<project-root>/.azure/` and `<project-root>/infra/`; if missing, re-create the files by following workflow.md exactly
