Sdaf Orientation And Surface is an agent skill from Azure/sap-automation, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Orient a newcomer to the SAP Deployment Automation Framework (SDAF): explain the spine (control plane → workload zone → SAP system → software → install → operate/remove), summarise the three execution surfaces (Local, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions), and print the install command for the matching surface bootstrap plugin — as documented in this repository's docs/PLUGINS.md — so the operator can run it manually. Use when a user says "what is SDAF", "how is SDAF structured", "where do I start with SDAF", "which…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/surface-decision.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Deployment. It works with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitHub and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: This is the repository supporting the SAP deployment automation framework on Azure. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78835f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
shellFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
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.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Sdaf Orientation And Surface loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 225 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 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.
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.

.claude/skills/sdaf-orientation-and-surface/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Primer skill. Answers "what is SDAF and which execution surface should I use?" and hands off to the next action-loop skill. Grounded in the shipped docs; no inferred procedures.
Trigger on: "what is SDAF", "where do I start", "SDAF surface", "Local vs ADO vs GitHub", "SDAF plugin install command", "how do I install azure-sap-automation-devops", "which surface for SDAF".
Do NOT trigger on: pre-flight readiness checks, tfvars/WORKSPACES authoring, BOM selection, failed-run triage. Route to the sibling skill instead.
Docs enforce this order for every surface:
docs/local/03-00-control-plane.md § Outcome, § What the automation does).docs/local/04-00-workload-zone.md § Outcome).docs/local/05-00-sap-system.md § Outcome).docs/local/06-00-software-and-installation.md § Download software).docs/local/06-00-software-and-installation.md § Run configuration and installation).docs/local/07-00-operations.md § Remove resources).Never let a stage run before the prior one completed
(docs/local/README.md § Complete the journey).
Docs explicitly frame the surfaces as "capability differences, not a ranking":
there is no declared primary (docs/deployment-options.md § Select an execution model). They are not one-to-one equivalent.
| Surface | When it fits | Doc anchor |
|---|---|---|
| Local / scripted | You run deploy/scripts/* directly from a workstation, deployer, or automation host. No hosted stage generator. | docs/deployment-options.md § Local or scripted execution; docs/local/README.md § Run SDAF locally |
| Azure DevOps | Azure Repos/Pipelines, service connections, agent pools own the process. Wrapper pipelines exist but docs note ADO "does not currently provide verified one-to-one equivalents for all GitHub generation workflows". | docs/deployment-options.md § Azure DevOps |
| GitHub Actions | GitHub owns the config repo and approvals. Includes stage-generation workflows and deploy workflows. | docs/deployment-options.md § GitHub Actions |
See references/surface-decision.md for the
two-question decision walkthrough and the hand-off to the next skill.
Does: classify the request, explain the spine, help pick a surface, and print the install command for the matching bootstrap plugin — the operator runs it themselves.
Does NOT: install anything. Does not run a plan/apply. Does not fabricate "which surface is best" — the docs decline to rank them and this skill honours that.
The canonical install commands for the hub and both surface plugins are
documented in docs/PLUGINS.md (this repo). Print
the block that matches the operator's chosen surface verbatim from that
file, and instruct the operator to run it themselves. Do not invent
alternatives, do not paraphrase, do not shorten.
The exact command shapes at the time this skill was authored (source:
docs/PLUGINS.md):
Azure DevOps — from docs/PLUGINS.md § Install: Azure DevOps surface plugin (azure-sap-automation-devops):
# GitHub Copilot CLI

copilot plugin install azure-sap-automation-devops@sap-automation-bootstrap
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add Azure/sap-automation-bootstrap
/plugin install azure-sap-automation-devops@sap-automation-bootstrap
# Gemini CLI

# GitHub Copilot CLI
copilot plugin marketplace add Azure/sap-automation-gh-bootstrap
copilot plugin install azure-sap-automation-github@sap-automation-gh-bootstrap
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add Azure/sap-automation-gh-bootstrap
/plugin install azure-sap-automation-github@sap-automation-gh-bootstrap
# Gemini CLI
gemini extensions install https://github.com/Azure/sap-automation-gh-bootstrapLocal — no surface plugin is required. Hand off directly to
sdaf-readiness-check.
The Copilot install form is <plugin-name>@<marketplace-name> where the
marketplace name matches the repository slug (e.g.
sap-automation-bootstrap), not the plugin name. If docs/PLUGINS.md and
this skill body ever diverge, docs/PLUGINS.md is the source of truth —
update this skill in lockstep.
After the surface is chosen and the surface plugin (if any) is installed by
the operator, hand off to sdaf-readiness-check for pre-flight, then
sdaf-workspace-and-tfvars before any deploy skill.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Sdaf Orientation And Surface is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: shell.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: github.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Sdaf Orientation And Surface is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.5k 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 411 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
