azure-well-architected

What it does

A skill that provides expert guidance for designing, assessing, and optimizing Azure workloads using Azure Well Architected. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How it works

• Use the Category Index to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges, read specific lines via read_file with the specified lines. For categories with file links, read the linked reference file via read_file on the referenced file.
• It fetches documentation content from remote sources using network-enabled tools: preferred is mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query from=learn-agent-skill; fallback is fetch_webpage with query from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown.
• It includes sections such as Design Review Checklists, Recommendations, Design Principles, Tradeoffs, Service Guides, Workload Patterns, and Assessment Questions, each with associated guidance and resources.

When to use it

• Use when designing Azure workloads across AI, HPC, SaaS, AVD, AVS, or mission-critical scenarios, and other Azure Well Architected development tasks. (Trigger: category matches related topics; in practice, when you need guidance across Well Architected pillars.)

What it can touch

• It relies on tools and documentation sources: mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch and fetch_webpage to retrieve content.
• No explicit executable scripts or commands are listed beyond the read_file usage and the remote fetch tools.

Caveats

• Requires network access to fetch documentation content.
• Declares usage of mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage; these are necessary for operation. License is CC-BY-4.0 for the skill package.
