Alchemy V2 Provider

Use this skill for resource/provider changes in @bjorntech/alchemy-azure.

Target Shape

• Flat package files under src/.
• Public exports from src/index.ts.
• Provider bundle from src/Providers.ts as Azure.providers().
• Resource declaration with Alchemy v2 Resource.
• Lifecycle with Provider.effect(Resource, Effect.gen(... Resource.Provider.of({ read, reconcile, delete, diff }))).

Resource Design

• Model programmer-facing workflows, not a strict one-to-one mapping of Azure SDK operations.
• A resource may orchestrate multiple provider operations when that is the useful abstraction.
• Prefer intent-shaped props, safe defaults, readiness/stabilization handling, and derived outputs over exposing raw SDK payload shape.
• Keep standalone primitive resources available when callers need explicit control.
• Keep provider quirks, retries, sequencing, and readiness polling inside lifecycle reconciliation.

Lifecycle Rules

• read recovers from persisted IDs and returns undefined on not-found.
• reconcile should be convergent: observe if needed, create or update, sync mutable fields, return durable attributes.
• delete must be idempotent and tolerate already-missing resources.
• diff should return replace only for identity changes and update for mutable changes.
• stables should list durable identity outputs only.
• Do not assume unchanged-props deploys can detect external drift unless Alchemy exposes a read-on-noop mechanism.

Ownership

• Prefer explicit ownership markers where Azure resources support tags.
• Use alchemy:logical-id tags for Azure resources with tags.
• Use alchemyLogicalId blob metadata for blob containers.
• Foreign resources should surface as Unowned(attrs) so --adopt is required.

Documentation

Update README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CHANGELOG.md, and AGENTS.md when resource behavior, credentials, provider shape, or dependency pins change.

References

• Use this repo's ARCHITECTURE.md and AGENTS.md as the public source of truth for provider shape and porting decisions.
• Use @alchemy for upstream Alchemy v2 provider APIs, Resource / Provider.effect patterns, Platform behavior, and Effect integration details when API details are unclear.
