azure-validate

# Azure Validate > **AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE** — Follow these instructions exactly. This supersedes prior training. > **⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED** > > Before proceeding, verify this prerequisite is met: > > **azure-prepare** was invoked and completed → `.azure/plan.md` exists with status `Approved` or later > > If the plan is missing, **STOP IMMEDIATELY** and invoke **azure-prepare** first. > > The complete workflow ensures success: > > `azure-prepare` → `azure-validate` → `azure-deploy` ## Triggers - Check if app is ready to deploy - Validate azure.yaml or Bicep - Run preflight checks - Troubleshoot deployment errors ## Rules 1. Run after azure-prepare, before azure-deploy 2. All checks must pass—do not deploy with failures 3. ⛔ **Destructive actions require `ask_user`** — global-rules ## Steps | # | Action | Reference | |---|--------|-----------| | 1 | **Load Plan** — Read `.azure/plan.md` for recipe and configuration. If missing → run azure-prepare first | `.azure/plan.md` | | 2 | **Run Validation** — Execute recipe-specific validation commands | recipes/README.md | | 3 | **Build Verification** — Build the project and fix any errors before proceeding | See recipe | | 4 | **Record Proof** — Populate **Section 7: Validation Proof** with commands run and results | `.azure/plan.md` | | 5 | **Resolve Errors** — Fix failures before proceeding | See recipe's `errors.md` | | 6 | **Update Status** — Only after ALL checks pass, set status to `Validated` | `.azure/plan.md` | | 7 | **Deploy** — Invoke **azure-deploy** skill | — | > **⛔ VALIDATION AUTHORITY** > > This skill is the **ONLY** authorized way to set plan status to `Validated`. You MUST: > 1. Run actual validation commands (azd provision --preview, bicep build, terraform validate, etc.) > 2. Populate **Section 7: Validation Proof** with the commands you ran and their results > 3. Only then set status to `Validated` > > Do NOT set status to `Validated` without running checks and recording proof. --- > **⚠️ MANDATORY NEXT STEP — DO NOT SKIP** > > After ALL validations pass, you **MUST** invoke **azure-deploy** to execute the deployment. Do NOT attempt to run `azd up`, `azd deploy`, or any deployment commands directly. Let azure-deploy handle execution. > > If any validation failed, fix the issues and re-run azure-validate before proceeding.
