Creates production-ready Azure API Management policy XML for authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT validation, subscription keys), rate limiting, CORS configuration, error handling, and API transformations. Use when implementing API security, access control, or request/response processing logic.
Guides deployment of Azure API Management infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Bicep/Terraform), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), and APIOps workflows. Use when deploying APIM, creating pipelines, or implementing dev→test→prod promotion strategies.
Reviews Azure API Management configurations for security vulnerabilities, OWASP API Security Top 10 compliance, VNet Internal mode validation, Private Link verification, and Azure Security Benchmark alignment. Use when performing security audits, pre-deployment validation, or compliance reviews.
Create, maintain, and troubleshoot APM (Agent Package Manager) manifests for distributing GitHub Copilot skills, agents, and MCP servers. USE FOR: creating apm.yml root manifests; creating packages/* sub-manifests; bundling MCP server config into a package; installing packages from a GitHub repo; troubleshooting APM install errors (missing .vscode/mcp.json, Codex CLI warnings, cached installs). DO NOT USE FOR: general GitHub Copilot customization questions; creating SKILL.md files (use skill-creator); writing MCP server code.
Design Azure cloud architectures from requirements and generate High-Level Design (HLD) documentation with service selection, patterns, cost estimates, and WAF alignment. Use this when asked to design or architect Azure solutions.
Analyzes and explains Azure API Management architecture decisions for enterprise API marketplace implementations using VNet Internal mode, Front Door, hybrid authentication, and multi-environment strategies. Use when discussing APIM component selection, network topology, cost optimization, or comparing alternatives like workspaces vs instances, VNet Internal vs External mode, or Front Door vs Application Gateway.
Create and edit architecture diagrams using Draw.io MCP (`drawio/create_diagram`) with reliable Azure icon rendering guidance and troubleshooting. compatibility Requires Python 3 and internet access to refresh the icon catalog (periodic, not per-run).
Look up real-time Azure retail pricing for any service, SKU, or region using the Azure MCP pricing tool. Estimate deployment costs from Bicep, ARM, or Terraform templates, compare pricing across regions, price types (Consumption, Reservation, DevTest), and surface savings plan options. Use when asked about Azure costs, SKU prices, region comparisons, or template cost estimates.
Analyze Azure architectures for cost optimization opportunities, provide savings recommendations, and calculate ROI for improvements.
Create and edit diagrams using the Draw.io MCP server — any shape, any vendor. USE FOR: draw me a diagram, create an architecture diagram, add Azure/AWS/GCP/Cisco/Kubernetes icons to a diagram, convert Mermaid to draw.io, fix overlapping arrows, edit a .drawio file, network topology diagrams, CI/CD pipeline diagrams, auth flow diagrams. Supports XML, Mermaid, and CSV. Uses drawio/search_shapes to find any of 10,000+ shapes across all vendor and icon libraries. DO NOT USE FOR: Excalidraw output (use excalidraw-mcp-diagramming skill).
Create and edit diagrams on a live Excalidraw canvas using the Excalidraw MCP server. Use when asked to draw, diagram, sketch, or visualise architectures, workflows, data flows, system designs, flowcharts, mind maps, or sequence diagrams. Trigger phrases include "create an excalidraw", "draw me a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualise the system", "diagram this architecture", "export to PNG/SVG". Can export to PNG, SVG, .excalidraw file, or a shareable URL. Do NOT use for Draw.io or diagrams.net output (use drawio-mcp-diagramming instead).
Comprehensive skills for creating, compiling, debugging, and managing GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) with best practices and common patterns
Create, update, review, and validate GitHub Copilot agent skills (SKILL.md files). Use this skill whenever someone wants to create a new skill, build a skill from scratch, package domain knowledge into a reusable agent skill, turn a workflow into a skill, or asks "how do I teach Copilot to do X consistently". Also use when updating or improving an existing SKILL.md, writing the description field for better triggering, or designing the folder structure and bundled resources for a skill. Do NOT use for general coding questions, runtime debugging, or MCP server configuration.
Design and create Terraform modules from real infrastructure requirements. Use when asked to create a Terraform module, build a module from a requirement, turn repeated Terraform into a module, design module inputs and outputs, review whether a Terraform pattern should become a module, refactor existing Terraform into a reusable module, or assess whether a module is over-abstracted. Covers Azure-focused modules with KISS/DRY principles, module boundary definition, interface design, and practical file structure generation. Do NOT use for general Terraform coding with no module boundary, provider version upgrades (use terraform-provider-upgrade skill), or non-Terraform IaC.
Safe Terraform provider upgrades with automatic resource migration, breaking change detection, and state management using moved blocks. Use when upgrading provider versions, handling removed resources, migrating deprecated syntax, or performing major version upgrades.
Assess Azure architectures against Well-Architected Framework (WAF) five pillars - Reliability, Security, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence, and Performance Efficiency. Provide scores and recommendations.
