azure-validate
Pre-deployment validation for Azure infrastructure, configuration, and permissions before deploying.
- Runs recipe-specific validation commands (azd provision, bicep build, terraform validate) and records proof in
.azure/plan.md - Requires
.azure/plan.mdfrom azure-prepare skill as input; blocks deployment if plan is missing or status is notApproved - Validates azure.yaml, Bicep templates, Terraform configurations, Azure Functions, and app readiness across multiple deployment scenarios
- Sets plan status to
Validatedonly after all checks pass; must be completed before invoking azure-deploy for actual deployment
