Radius Application Modeling

Use this skill for all Radius-related tasks: authoring application Bicep, configuring environments with recipes, and creating custom resource types. This skill covers the full lifecycle from defining an app to deploying it on Kubernetes.

Workflow

1. Read the platform constitution. Check for Platform-Engineering-Constitution.md in the repository root. Note approved cloud providers, compute platforms, and IaC tooling.
2. Check current Radius state. Run rad workspace show, rad environment list, rad recipe list, and rad resource-type list.
3. Author or update the application Bicep, resource types, and/or environment configuration as needed.
4. Validate against the constitution and test with rad run.
