Engineering review

This skill is a repeatable process for running an engineering review of an Azure Architecture Center article against a fixed set of quality criteria defined by the Azure Patterns & Practices engineering team. It produces feedback that the author should consider.

The review is read-only. You evaluate and report. You don't edit the article unless the invoker explicitly asks you to fix a specific finding.

Scope: the whole article

Review the article as it stands today in your workspace. Read the full content body and the paired .yml metadata, if one exists, before you evaluate anything.

Align your review to the article's content type. It changes how hard you press on some topics. A solution idea isn't expected to cover every Well-Architected pillar; a reference architecture is.

The target reader is a professional cloud architect or software engineer designing a real workload for Azure, usually greenfield. Judge guidance from that seat: "If I had to advise this customer today, is this what I'd say?"
