azure-compute

Recommend Azure VM sizes, scale sets, and configurations based on workload requirements and budget. Analyzes workload type, performance needs, scaling requirements, and cost to suggest 2–3 VM or VMSS options with trade-offs Verifies recommendations against live Microsoft documentation; falls back to reference files if fetch fails Queries the unauthenticated Azure Retail Prices API for current pricing without requiring an Azure subscription Guides VM vs VMSS decision through a decision tree covering autoscaling, instance count, availability, and statefulness Covers all VM families (general purpose, compute/memory optimized, GPU, confidential computing) and VMSS orchestration modes (Flexible vs Uniform)

INSTALLATION
npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-compute
Run in your project or agent environment. Adjust flags if your CLI version differs.

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

Relentless interviewing skill that stress-tests plans and designs through systematic questioning. Conducts deep-dive questioning across all aspects of a plan, walking through decision trees branch-by-branch until shared understanding is reached Automatically explores the codebase to answer questions where code context is available, reducing redundant back-and-forth Designed for design reviews, architecture validation, and pre-implementation planning where thorough vetting prevents downstream issues

3/3

Relentless design interrogation that stress-tests plans against your domain model and sharpens terminology inline. Explores your codebase to ground discussions in existing code, glossaries (CONTEXT.md), and architectural decisions (ADRs) Challenges fuzzy language, resolves terminology conflicts, and updates your domain glossary as decisions crystallize Tests design decisions against concrete scenarios to expose edge cases and boundary violations Creates or updates CONTEXT.md and ADRs only when warranted, keeping documentation lean and decision-focused

2/3

Analyze codebases for architectural friction and propose module-deepening refactors as testability improvements. Explores codebases organically to surface shallow modules, tightly-coupled components, and untested seams rather than following rigid heuristics Applies John Ousterhout's "deep module" principle: small interfaces hiding large implementations for better testability and AI navigability Generates multiple radically different interface designs (minimalist, flexible, caller-optimized, ports & adapters) via parallel sub-agents, then recommends the strongest approach Creates GitHub issue RFCs documenting the problem space, design trade-offs, and refactoring rationale
