azure-validate-ms/SKILL.md
Pre-deployment validation for Azure readiness. Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment.

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED
Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met:
azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/plan.mdexists with statusApprovedor laterIf the plan is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and invoke azure-prepare first.
The complete workflow ensures success:
azure-prepare→azure-validate→azure-deploy
ask_user — global-rules| # | Action | Reference |
|---|--------|-----------|
| 1 | Load Plan — Read .azure/plan.md for recipe and configuration. If missing → run azure-prepare first | .azure/plan.md |
| 2 | Run Validation — Execute recipe-specific validation commands | recipes/README.md |
| 3 | Build Verification — Build the project and fix any errors before proceeding | See recipe |
| 4 | Record Proof — Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with commands run and results | .azure/plan.md |
| 5 | Resolve Errors — Fix failures before proceeding | See recipe's errors.md |
| 6 | Update Status — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to Validated | .azure/plan.md |
| 7 | Deploy — Invoke azure-deploy skill | — |
⛔ VALIDATION AUTHORITY
This skill is the ONLY authorized way to set plan status to
Validated. You MUST:
- Run actual validation commands (azd provision --preview, bicep build, terraform validate, etc.)
- Populate Section 7: Validation Proof with the commands you ran and their results
- Only then set status to
ValidatedDo NOT set status to
Validatedwithout running checks and recording proof.
⚠️ MANDATORY NEXT STEP — DO NOT SKIP
After ALL validations pass, you MUST invoke azure-deploy to execute the deployment. Do NOT attempt to run
azd up,azd deploy, or any deployment commands directly. Let azure-deploy handle execution.If any validation failed, fix the issues and re-run azure-validate before proceeding.

MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) is an open-source threat intelligence platform for gathering, sharing, storing, and correlating Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) of targeted attacks, threat
tools
Collects and synthesizes open-source intelligence (OSINT) about threat actors, malicious infrastructure, and attack campaigns using publicly available data sources, passive reconnaissance tools, and dark web monitoring. Use when investigating external threat actor infrastructure, performing pre-engagement reconnaissance for authorized red team assessments, or enriching CTI reports with publicly available adversary context. Activates for requests involving Maltego, Shodan, OSINT framework, SpiderFoot, or infrastructure reconnaissance.
development
Systematically collects, categorizes, and distributes indicators of compromise (IOCs) during and after security incidents to enable detection, blocking, and threat intelligence sharing. Covers network, host, email, and behavioral indicators using STIX/TAXII formats and threat intelligence platforms. Activates for requests involving IOC collection, indicator extraction, threat indicator sharing, compromise indicators, STIX export, or IOC enrichment.
development
Search and navigate large codebases efficiently. Use when finding specific code patterns, tracing function calls, understanding code structure, or locating bugs. Handles semantic search, grep patterns, AST analysis.
