🧩 One of 7 skills in the microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure package — works on its own, and pairs well with its siblings.

This is the playbook your agent receives when the skill activates — you don't need to read it to use the skill, but it's here to audit before installing.

Azure Compute Skill

Routes Azure VM and Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) requests to the right workflow.

When to Use This Skill

  • User wants to recommend, compare, or price a VM or VMSS
  • User wants to create, provision, or deploy a VM or VMSS
  • User asks about Capacity Reservation Groups (CRG) — reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision
  • User asks about Essential Machine Management (EMM) — machine enrollment, monitor

Disambiguate with azure-prepare: if the user wants to deploy an application (Docker service, web app, API, serverless workload), route to azure-prepare. vm-creator is for bare VM/VMSS infrastructure only.

Routing

Mandatory workflow-first routing: never route directly to references/* files. First classify the user intent below, open the matched workflow file, then load only the reference files that workflow requests. Reference files are supporting material, not entry points. If the intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question to disambiguate between the workflows.

WorkflowFileUse when
VM Recommendervm-recommender.mdUser asks which VM/VMSS to choose, whether to use VMSS/autoscaling, wants pricing, or wants to compare options
VM Creatorvm-creator.mdUser wants to create, provision, or deploy a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment)
Capacity Reservationcapacity-reservation.mdUser needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate)
Essential Machine Managementessential-machine-management.mdUser asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor
