PREREQUISITE: The azure-validate skill MUST be invoked and completed with status
ValidatedBEFORE executing this skill.
⛔ STOP — PREREQUISITE CHECK REQUIRED Before proceeding, verify BOTH prerequisites are met:
- azure-prepare was invoked and completed →
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists- azure-validate was invoked and passed → plan status =
ValidatedIf EITHER is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY:
- No plan? → Invoke azure-prepare skill first
- Status not
Validated? → Invoke azure-validate skill first⛔ DO NOT MANUALLY UPDATE THE PLAN STATUS
You are FORBIDDEN from changing the plan status to
Validatedyourself. Only the azure-validate skill is authorized to set this status after running actual validation checks. If you update the status without running validation, deployments will fail.DO NOT ASSUME the app is ready. DO NOT SKIP validation to save time. Skipping steps causes deployment failures. The complete workflow ensures success:
azure-prepare→azure-validate→azure-deploy
