Azure Enterprise Infra Planner

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Infrastructure as code
• Tasks that involve Cloud architecture
• Tasks that involve SOC 2 and security compliance

Example prompts

• “plan Azure infrastructure”
• “architect Azure landing zone”
• “design hub-spoke network”
• “/azure-enterprise-infra-planner”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f2526ae. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • terraform
  • az

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  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

Azure Enterprise Infra Planner loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~36k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~151

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~36k

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

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.
