This is the exact playbook injected into your agent when the skill activates — shown here so you can audit it before installing. You don't need to read it to use the skill.

Azure Architecture Builder
A pipeline that designs Azure infrastructure using natural language, or analyzes existing resources to visualize architecture and proceed through modification and deployment.
The diagram engine is embedded within the skill (scripts/ folder).
No pip install needed — it directly uses the bundled Python scripts
to generate interactive HTML diagrams with 605+ official Azure icons.
Ready to use immediately without network access or package installation.
Automatic User Language Detection
🚨 Detect the language of the user's first message and provide all subsequent responses in that language. This is the highest-priority principle.
-
If the user writes in Korean → respond in Korean
-
If the user writes in English → respond in English (ask_user, progress updates, reports, Bicep comments — all in English)
-
The instructions and examples in this document are written in English, and all user-facing output must match the user's language
⚠️ Do not copy examples from this document verbatim to the user. Use only the structure as reference, and adapt text to the user's language.
External Tool Path Discovery
az, python, bicep, etc. are often not on PATH.
Discover once before starting a Phase and cache the result. Do not re-discover every time.
⚠️ Do not use Get-Command python — risk of Windows Store alias.
Direct filesystem discovery ($env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Python) takes priority.
az CLI path:
$azCmd = $null
if (Get-Command az -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { $azCmd = 'az' }
if (-not $azCmd) {
$azExe = Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:ProgramFiles\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\wbin", "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\Azure CLI\wbin" -Filter "az.cmd" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName
if ($azExe) { $azCmd = $azExe }
}
Python path + embedded diagram engine: refer to the diagram generation section in references/phase1-advisor.md.
Progress Updates Required
Use blockquote + emoji + bold format:
> **⏳ [Action]** — [Reason]
> **✅ [Complete]** — [Result]
> **⚠️ [Warning]** — [Details]
> **❌ [Failed]** — [Cause]
Parallel Preload Principle
While waiting for user input via ask_user, preload information needed for the next step in parallel.
ask_user Question Preload Simultaneously
Project name / scan scope Reference files, MS Docs, Python path discovery, diagram module path verification
Model/SKU selection MS Docs for next question choices
Architecture confirmation az account show/list, az group list
Subscription selection az group list
Path Branching — Automatically Determined by User Request
Path A: New Design (New Build)
Trigger: "create", "set up", "deploy", "build", etc.
Phase 1 (references/phase1-advisor.md) — Interactive architecture design + diagram
↓
Phase 2 (references/bicep-generator.md) — Bicep code generation
↓
Phase 3 (references/bicep-reviewer.md) — Code review + compilation verification
↓
Phase 4 (references/phase4-deployer.md) — validate → what-if → deploy
Path B: Existing Analysis + Modification (Analyze & Modify)
Trigger: "analyze", "current resources", "scan", "draw a diagram", "show my infrastructure", etc.
Phase 0 (references/phase0-scanner.md) — Existing resource scan + diagram
↓
Modification conversation — "What would you like to change here?" (natural language modification request → follow-up questions)
↓
Phase 1 (references/phase1-advisor.md) — Confirm modifications + update diagram
↓
Phase 2~4 — Same as above
When Path Determination Is Ambiguous
Ask the user directly:
ask_user({
question: "What would you like to do?",
choices: [
"Design a new Azure architecture (Recommended)",
"Analyze + modify existing Azure resources"
]
})
Phase Transition Rules
-
Each Phase reads and follows the instructions in its corresponding
references/*.mdfile -
When transitioning between Phases, always inform the user about the next step
-
Do not skip Phases (especially the what-if between Phase 3 → Phase 4)
-
🚨 Required condition for Phase 1 → Phase 2 transition:
01_arch_diagram_draft.htmlmust have been generated using the embedded diagram engine and shown to the user. Do not proceed to Bicep generation without a diagram. Completing spec collection alone does not mean Phase 1 is done — Phase 1 includes diagram generation + user confirmation. -
Modification request after deployment → return to Phase 1, not Phase 0 (Delta Confirmation Rule)
Service Coverage & Fallback
Optimized Services
Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, AI Search, ADLS Gen2, Key Vault, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, VNet/Private Endpoint, AML/AI Hub
Other Azure Services
All supported — MS Docs are automatically consulted to generate at the same quality standard. Do not send messages that cause user anxiety such as "out of scope" or "best-effort".
Stable vs Dynamic Information Handling
Category Handling Method Examples
Stable Reference files first isHnsEnabled: true, PE triple set
Dynamic Always fetch MS Docs API version, model availability, SKU, region
Quick Reference
File Role

Tool Usage Guide (GHCP Environment)
Feature Tool Name Notes
Fetch URL content web_fetch For MS Docs lookups, etc.
Web search web_search URL discovery
Ask user ask_user choices must be a string array
Sub-agents task explore/task/general-purpose
Shell command execution powershell Windows PowerShell
All sub-agents (explore/task/general-purpose) cannot use web_fetch or web_search.
Fact-checking that requires MS Docs lookups must be performed directly by the main agent.
