⛔ Sub-agent delegation is MANDATORY for Step 0. Read
subagent-preflight.md, then dispatch as ataskwith the COMPLETE and UNMODIFIED template text between<<<TEMPLATE_START>>>/<<<TEMPLATE_END>>>delimiters. Do NOT summarize or rewrite the template — the sub-agent needs every "Read [file]" instruction to produce a correctdeploy-checklist.md. Append session artifact data AFTER the template block. If your next action after reading the template is anything other thantask, you are executing it inline instead of delegating.
⛔ Healing loop: ask user after 3 attempts, then every 5 (counter =
healingAttempts[].length).
⛔ Region lock: Before
az deploymentretry, compare--locationagainstprepare-plan.json.deploymentVariables.location. If changed → re-approval gate required. Update plan after approval.
⛔ After compaction or any
az deployment/az webapp deploy/az acr build/failed health check: re-readdeploy-checklist.md. If missing → fill fromdeploy-checklist-template.md. On significant context loss: also re-read this SKILL.md.
| # | Step | Action | Artifact | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Dispatch preflight sub-agent | ⛔ You MUST dispatch subagent-preflight.md as a task. ⛔ agent_type: "task" — NEVER "general-purpose". Read the template, then your NEXT action MUST be task. If after reading the template your next action is powershell, view, or anything other than task, STOP — you are executing inline instead of delegating. Writes deploy-checklist.md. view it immediately after return. | deploy-checklist.md | ⛔ You MUST read subagent-preflight.md |
