OpenClaw on Azure — setup & operations playbook

This skill lets an AI assistant set up, run, and fix the openclaw-dev template in plain English. It deploys OpenClaw as a secure, always-on AI assistant on Azure Container Apps, wired to Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models over a Managed Identity (no API keys), gated by Entra ID Easy Auth, and optionally reachable from Microsoft Teams on the user's phone.

Use this repo's own scripts, env-var contract, region list, and error catalog instead of guessing. Always confirm with the user before any destructive action (devclaw down, azd down, deleting app registrations, RBAC removal).

Alpha / dev-test template, single-tenant. Today it targets Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models (default gpt-5-mini), with scope to add Claude and other Foundry Models later. Do not promise non-OpenAI models work today.
