What it does
Architecture Decision is an agent skill from Azure/agent-app-orchestrator, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Conducts and records a verifiable Agent Landing Zone Orchestrator architectural decision. Use when a choice alters runtime strategy boundaries, contracts, identity, data, deployment, or operation with meaningful reversal cost.
Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adr-template.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud architecture. It works with Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Agent orchestration service for the Agent Landing Zone, built on Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework. Coordinates specialized agents for conversational… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e67231. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Architecture Decision loads about 319 tokens when it runs, and up to ~662 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Conducts and records a verifiable Agent Landing Zone Orchestrator architectural decision. Use when a choice alters runtime strategy boundaries, contracts, identity, data, deployment, or operation with meaningful reversal cost.
Agent Landing Zone Orchestrator architectural decision
- Load the relevant
engineering-principlesreferences. - Define the user or operator outcome, constraints, affected repositories, and up to five prioritized characteristics with measurable thresholds.
- Compare at least two viable alternatives and the option of not changing.
- Evaluate FastAPI and runtime strategy boundaries, identity, authorization, data and conversation compatibility, retrieval and MCP trust, deployment, cost, operation, migration, and reversibility.
- Record the decision using the ADR template.
- Define fitness functions, adoption order, rollback or roll-forward, and a review trigger.
Do not turn a framework, model, or Azure service preference into an architectural requirement. GitHub Copilot engineering agents are not runtime agent dependencies. When evidence is missing, record a time-bounded investigation and its decision criterion instead of guessing.

Architecture Decision is an agent skill from Azure/agent-app-orchestrator, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Conducts and records a verifiable Agent Landing Zone Orchestrator architectural decision.
When should I use Architecture Decision?
Architecture Decision fits situations like: A choice alters runtime strategy boundaries; operation with meaningful reversal cost.
How do I install Architecture Decision in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Azure/agent-app-orchestrator --skill architecture-decision -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/architecture-decision in Azure/agent-app-orchestrator) into .claude/skills/architecture-decision in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Architecture Decision in Codex?

Can I use Architecture Decision in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Azure/agent-app-orchestrator --skill architecture-decision -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/architecture-decision, .gemini/skills/architecture-decision, .github/skills/architecture-decision and .opencode/skills/architecture-decision in your project.
What does Architecture Decision need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Architecture Decision is instructions for the agent only.
Does Architecture Decision access the network?

How many tokens does Architecture Decision use?
About 319 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 343 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
