e-t-y-b/etyb-skills

Engineering co-pilot for any software situation — code, architecture, debugging, review, infra, deployment, testing, security, performance, AI/ML, mobile, data, compliance. The situation is the trigger: a bug, a stuck debug session, an architecture question, an X-vs-Y tradeoff, a "set up CI" ask, or a platform name in conversation (Postgres, Lambda, Kubernetes, React, Stripe, FHIR, Apex, Cloudflare, Vercel, Supabase, Expo, Bedrock). Acts as a senior engineering leader: restates the problem plainly, asks at most 3 questions only when the answer changes the work, confirms scope, then executes end-to-end — routing internally to specialist roles, enforcing TDD/verification/review discipline, and reading currency-stamped vendor stacks for post-cutoff facts. Incidents skip ceremony and triage immediately. Triggers: any software, code, infrastructure, or technical-decision situation. Skip only for requests with no software or technical-decision content at all.

Azure Stack — Team Briefing

This is a knowledge overlay, not a new specialist. The existing ETYB team does the work — backend-architect writes the backend code, devops-engineer wires the deploys, security-engineer enforces the boundary. This pack tells each role where the current Azure knowledge lives.

Where the full briefing lives

The full Stack briefing lives in this same folder. Per-product and per-role pages are siblings of this SKILL.md. Every page carries last_verified_on stamps and authoritative-source URLs in its frontmatter; see skills/etyb/core/knowledge-currency.md for the drift-check protocol that uses them.

Stack briefing: stacks/azure/index.md
Per-product pages: stacks/azure/<product>.md — one per entry in products_covered above
Per-role views: stacks/azure/<role>.md — one per role in applies_to_roles above

When ETYB is installed locally these are read directly from disk. For third-party agents without the install, the same content is reachable as raw markdown at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/e-t-y-b/etyb-skills/main/stacks/azure/<page>.md.

When delegate_to_skills (frontmatter above) lists a first-party vendor MCP/skill that's installed in the user's environment, ETYB defers to it first. The in-repo Stack content is the curated fallback.

What changed in 2025-2026 that older training data misses

Critical context — an LLM with a 2024 cutoff will get these wrong:

Azure AD is now Microsoft Entra ID (renamed July 2023). The tenant, the SDKs, the portal blade — all "Entra". Saying "Azure AD" in 2026 reads as out-of-date; the brand and docs are Entra.
Azure AD B2C is now Entra External ID (renamed 2024). New builds use External ID; B2C tenants exist but are in legacy support — do not propose a new B2C tenant in 2026.
Azure AI Studio is now Microsoft Foundry / Azure AI Foundry (2024-25). Same product, expanded scope (Foundry Agents, model catalog, evaluation). Use "Foundry" or "AI Foundry" in current voice.
Azure Cognitive Search is now Azure AI Search (renamed 2023). Same service.
Azure Stack HCI is now Azure Local (renamed 2024-25). New docs use "Azure Local".
Azure Functions in-process .NET model is phasing out through late 2026 — migrate to the isolated worker model. New Functions projects should never use in-process.
Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL is retiring. Replacement: Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server with Elastic Clusters (Citus extension). Flag immediately if anyone proposes Cosmos for PostgreSQL on a new build.
Azure Database for PostgreSQL Single Server retired March 2025. Only Flexible Server is current.
Azure Cache for Redis classic tiers (Basic/Standard/Premium/Enterprise/EnterpriseFlash) are being migrated to Azure Managed Redis. Migration tooling phased: Basic/Standard/Premium from Nov 2025; Enterprise/EnterpriseFlash from March 2026. New builds choose Azure Managed Redis.
NSG Flow Logs are retired (mandatory migration by mid-2025) — use VNet Flow Logs.
AKS Pod Identity and Pod Identity v2 retired — only Workload Identity (OIDC-federated) is supported. KEDA 2.15+ removed Pod Identity support entirely.
AKS Long-Term Support (LTS) channels (GA 2025) — extended support for Kubernetes versions beyond the standard community window. Use for regulated workloads that can't keep up with the K8s release cadence.
Azure Functions Flex Consumption (GA 2024) — pay-per-execution with always-ready instances + VNet integration + zone redundancy. The new default for production serverless.
Entra Agent ID (Ignite 2025) — first-class Entra identity for AI agents. Conditional Access, PIM, audit logging applied to agent identities the same way as humans.

If you find yourself recommending any retired product, deprecated CLI, or renamed feature from the list above, you're using stale knowledge. Read the relevant sibling file in this folder before continuing.

Standing instructions for every role on an Azure engagement

Anchor to currency. Before recommending API shapes, syntax, product names, or pricing, read the relevant sibling file in this folder and check its last_verified_on. If it's older than 6 months, also probe the vendor's authoritative source (in authoritative_sources above).
Defer to verticals on domain compliance. This pack covers platform mechanics. HIPAA, PCI/PSD2, SOC 2 specifics belong to healthcare-architect, fintech-architect, saas-architect. Route to the vertical; don't restate compliance content from this pack.
Respect platform-specific limits. Governor limits, request quotas, billing units, concurrency caps — every recommendation that implies volume must consider them. If the user's volume doesn't fit, recommend the platform's escape hatch (batch, queue, partition, scale tier) — don't write code and hope.
Honor Zero Trust by default. Managed Identity for every service-to-service auth, Private Link for every PaaS endpoint that supports it, Key Vault (RBAC mode) for every secret, Conditional Access on every human identity, Workload Identity Federation for every CI/CD service principal.

When to escalate out of this pack

Situation	Escalate to
Compliance specifics (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2)	`healthcare-architect` / `fintech-architect` / `saas-architect`
Multi-stack architecture spanning vendors	`system-architect` (without the pack overlay)
Vendor-agnostic work that happens to touch Azure	the relevant specialist (without the pack overlay)

Stack composition

If the user is running Azure alongside another stack that has its own pack registered, both overlays load. Each pack handles its own platform; neither should pretend to know the other's depth.
