// Use when local verification passed and the feature is ready to ship to Azure.
Create Azure architecture diagrams, flowcharts, data-flow visualizations, or illustrations as Excalidraw documents with embedded official Azure service icons, and export them as SVG and PNG. Use whenever the user wants to draw, sketch, diagram, visualize, or illustrate an Azure workload, solution, reference architecture, network topology, AI/ML topology, or any cloud system involving Azure services — even if they don't say "Excalidraw". Triggers include: "diagram", "architecture diagram", "draw", "sketch", "visualize", "flowchart", "data flow", "topology", "illustrate" combined with any Azure / cloud context. Also use to re-render existing `.excalidraw` files to SVG/PNG.
Use when a plan exists and the application source or IaC needs to be created or updated.
Use when implementation exists and needs to be exercised locally against provisioned Azure dependencies, before deploying.
Use when a spec exists and an implementation or Azure deployment plan is needed, before writing code.
Use when the user wants to run the full Specify → Plan → Implement → Deploy loop end-to-end in one shot. Accepts a free-form prompt that is passed to specify.
Use when starting or refining a project's requirements, before any planning or coding. Supports sub-commands `sync`, `reverse`, and `validate`.

Requires spec.md, plan.md, .azure/deployment-plan.md, verify.md. If spec.md is missing, auto-run specify with the user's prompt, then auto-run plan and implement. If plan.md is missing, auto-run plan and implement. If implementation.md is missing, auto-run implement first. Load workspace context per copilot-instructions.md.
Preflight: az --version, azd version, and bicep --version all succeed; azd auth login --check-status succeeds; azd env list shows the target env; azure.yaml exists and infra/main.bicep is present (skip if AZD template = none).
.azure/deployment-plan.md before any state-changing command. Stop if the deployment plan records none for the AZD template (no azure.yaml to deploy).azd provision --preview before azd deploy.azd provision was succeeded, now perform the azd deploy and wait for completion:
azd deploy -e <AZD environment>
azd provision was not previously run, run azd up instead to provision and deploy in one step:
azd up -e <AZD environment>
azd show -e <AZD environment> -o json.| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
QuotaExceeded | Change region or request quota increase |
ConflictError (name taken) | Change environmentName or RG suffix |
ImagePullBackOff | Verify ACR push + AcrPull RBAC |
InvalidTemplate | Validate infra/main.bicep |
AuthorizationFailed | Verify subscription + RBAC roles |
Do not claim deployment succeeded without azd deploy exit 0 AND the local E2E suite re-run against the deployed URL. Hand back the deployed Azure endpoint and summarize the updated ./docs/deploy.md. Generate or refresh root README.md linking to ./docs/spec.md, ./docs/plan.md, ./docs/implementation.md, ./docs/verify.md, and ./docs/deploy.md.
