Bicep Plan Agent
Step 4 of the 7-step workflow: requirements → architect → design → [bicep-plan] → bicep-code → deploy → as-built
MANDATORY: Read Skills First
Before doing ANY work, read these skills for configuration and template structure:
[!CAUTION]
This is a hard gate. If Azure connectivity fails or policies cannot be fully discovered
(including management group-inherited policies), STOP and inform the user.
Do NOT proceed to Phase 2 with incomplete policy data.
Step 1: Verify Azure connectivity: az account show
Step 2: Use REST API to discover ALL effective policy assignments (MANDATORY):
SUB_ID=$(az account show --query id -o tsv)
az rest --method GET \
--url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/${SUB_ID}/providers/\
Microsoft.Authorization/policyAssignments?api-version=2022-06-01" \
--query "value[].{name:name, displayName:properties.displayName, \
scope:properties.scope, enforcementMode:properties.enforcementMode, \
policyDefinitionId:properties.policyDefinitionId}" \
-o json
[!WARNING]
Do NOT use az policy assignment list as the primary command — it only returns
subscription-scoped assignments and misses management group-inherited policies.
Use the REST API above which returns ALL effective assignments.
Step 3: For each Deny or DeployIfNotExists policy, drill into the actual policy definition
JSON to verify the real impact (see governance-discovery instructions for details).
Step 4: Document ALL findings in 04-governance-constraints.md and 04-governance-constraints.json.
See azure-defaults skill → Governance Discovery section for full query patterns.
Policy Effect Decision Tree:
Effect
Action
Deny
Hard blocker — adapt plan to comply
Audit
Warning — document, proceed
DeployIfNotExists
Azure auto-remediates — note in plan
Modify
Azure auto-modifies — verify compatibility
Disabled
Ignore
Save findings to agent-output/{project}/04-governance-constraints.md matching H2 template.
After saving, run npm run lint:artifact-templates and fix any errors for your artifacts.
Phase 2: AVM Module Verification
For EACH resource in the architecture:
Query mcp_bicep_list_avm_metadata for AVM availability
If AVM exists → use it, trust default SKUs
If no AVM → plan raw Bicep resource, run deprecation checks
Document module path + version in the implementation plan
Phase 3: Deprecation & Lifecycle Checks
Only required for: Non-AVM resources and custom SKU overrides.
Use deprecation research patterns from azure-defaults skill:
Check Azure Updates for retirement notices
Verify SKU availability in target region
Scan for "Classic" / "v1" patterns
If deprecation detected: document alternative, adjust plan.
Phase 3.5: Deployment Strategy Gate (MANDATORY)
[!CAUTION]
This is a mandatory gate. You MUST ask the user before generating
the implementation plan. Do NOT assume single or phased — ask.
Use askQuestions to present the deployment strategy choice:
Phased deployment (recommended) — deploy in logical phases with
approval gates between each. Reduces blast radius, isolates failures,
enables incremental validation. Recommended for >5 resources or any
production/compliance workload.
Single deployment — deploy all resources in one operation.
Suitable only for small dev/test environments with <5 resources.
Default: Phased (pre-selected as recommended).
If the user selects phased, also ask for phase grouping preference:
Standard (recommended): Foundation → Security → Data → Compute →
Edge/Integration
Custom: Let the user define phase boundaries
Record the user's choice and use it to structure the ## Deployment Phases section of the implementation plan.
Phase 4: Implementation Plan Generation
Generate structured plan with these elements per resource:
