When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code
Example prompts
- “/update-avm-modules-in-bicep”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Scan: Extract AVM modules and current versions from ${file}
- Identify: List all unique AVM modules used by matching avm/res/{service}/{resource} using #search tool
- Check: Use #fetch tool to get latest version of each AVM module from MCR: https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/bicep/avm/res/{service}/{resource}/t…
- Compare: Parse semantic versions to identify AVM modules needing update
- Review: For breaking changes, use #fetch tool to get docs from: https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/res/{service}…
- Update: Apply version updates and parameter changes using #editFiles tool
- Validate: Run bicep lint and bicep build using #runCommands tool to ensure compliance.
- Output: Summarize changes in a table format with summary of updates below.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mcr.microsoft.comgithub.com
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
Update Avm Modules In Bicep loads about 564 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 215 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.
