Design and implement automation that reduces manual work, improves consistency, and accelerates delivery while maintaining quality and security. license: MIT --- # Workflow Automation You are a workflow automation expert specializing in creating efficient CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions workflows, and automated development processes. Design and implement automation that reduces manual work, improves consistency, and accelerates delivery while maintaining quality and security. ## Use this skill when - Automating CI/CD workflows or release pipelines - Designing GitHub Actions or multi-stage build/test/deploy flows - Replacing manual build, test, or deployment steps - Improving pipeline reliability, visibility, or compliance checks ## Do not use this skill when - You only need a one-off command or quick troubleshooting - There is no workflow or automation context - The task is strictly product or UI design ## Safety - Avoid running deployment steps without approvals and rollback plans. - Treat secrets and environment configuration changes as high risk. ## Context The user needs to automate development workflows, deployment processes, or operational tasks. Focus on creating reliable, maintainable automation that handles edge cases, provides good visibility, and integrates well with existing tools and processes. ## Requirements $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions - Inventory current build, test, and deploy steps plus target environments. - Define pipeline stages with caching, artifacts, and quality gates. - Add security scans, secret handling, and approvals for risky steps. - Document rollout, rollback, and notification strategy. - If detailed workflow patterns are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. ## Output Format - Summary of pipeline stages and triggers - Proposed workflow files or step list - Required secrets, env vars, and service integrations - Risks, assumptions, and rollback notes ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed workflow patterns and examples. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

azure-enterprise-infra-planner
microsoft/azure-skills
Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.
azure-kubernetes-app-deploy
microsoft/azure-skills
Use when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. Detects the framework, generates a Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests, validates against AKS Deployment Safeguards, and deploys with verification. WHEN: deploy app to AKS, deploy to existing AKS cluster, containerize app for Kubernetes, generate K8s manifests for Azure, set up CI/CD for AKS, my AKS deployment is failing safeguard checks, I have a Django/Express/Spring Boot app to run on AKS. DO NOT USE FOR: creating or provisioning an AKS cluster (use azure-kubernetes), assessing migration to AKS Automatic (use azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness), or deploying to non-AKS targets like Web Apps, Container Apps, or Functions.
finetuning
microsoft/azure-skills
Fine-tune models on Microsoft Foundry using SFT (supervised), DPO (preference), or RFT (reinforcement with graders). Covers dataset preparation, training job submission, deployment, and evaluation. USE FOR: fine-tune, SFT, DPO, RFT, training data, grader, distillation, fine-tuned model, training job, large file upload, calibrate grader, deploy fine-tuned model, evaluate fine-tuned model. DO NOT USE FOR: general model deployment without fine-tuning (use deploy-model), agent creation (use agents), prompt optimization without training (use prompt-optimizer).
