deploy-modelUnified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing.
Deploy Model is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `TEST_PROMPTS.md` and `scripts/generate_deployment_url.sh`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. It works with Microsoft Azure, Azure OpenAI and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d8f4f4e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (PowerShell and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
azFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
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.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Deploy Model loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 619 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

.claude/skills/deploy-model/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 3 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Scope — read this first. This skill creates model deployments out-of-band via Azure CLI / MCP / portal. For azd-managed Foundry projects (those scaffolded from
azd ai agent init), declare deployments inazure.yaml services.ai-project.deployments[]instead —azd ai agent initwrites the entry from the sample manifest andazd provisioncreates the deployment through Bicep. See foundry-agent/create/create-hosted.md for the Golden Path. Use this skill only for: (a) Foundry projects not managed by an azd project, (b) ad-hoc deployments outside the azd lifecycle.
Unified entry point for all Azure OpenAI model deployment workflows. Analyzes user intent and routes to the appropriate deployment mode.
| Mode | When to Use | Sub-Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Preset | Quick deployment, no customization needed | preset/SKILL.md |
| Customize | Full control: version, SKU, capacity, RAI policy | customize/SKILL.md |
| Capacity Discovery | Find where you can deploy with specific capacity | capacity/SKILL.md |
Analyze the user's prompt and route to the correct mode:
User Prompt
│
├─ Simple deployment (no modifiers)
│ "deploy gpt-4o", "set up a model"
│ └─> PRESET mode
│
├─ Customization keywords present
│ "custom settings", "choose version", "select SKU",
│ "set capacity to X", "configure content filter",
│ "PTU deployment", "with specific quota"
│ └─> CUSTOMIZE mode
│
├─ Capacity/availability query
│ "find where I can deploy", "check capacity",
│ "which region has X capacity", "best region for 10K TPM",
│ "where is this model available"
│ └─> CAPACITY DISCOVERY mode
│
└─ Ambiguous (has capacity target + deploy intent)
"deploy gpt-4o with 10K capacity to best region"
└─> CAPACITY DISCOVERY first → then PRESET or CUSTOMIZE| Signal in Prompt | Route To | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Just model name, no options | Preset | User wants quick deployment |
| "custom", "configure", "choose", "select" | Customize | User wants control |
| "find", "check", "where", "which region", "available" | Capacity | User wants discovery |
| Specific capacity number + "best region" | Capacity → Preset | Discover then deploy quickly |
| Specific capacity number + "custom" keywords | Capacity → Customize | Discover then deploy with options |
| "PTU", "provisioned throughput" | Customize | PTU requires SKU selection |
| "optimal region", "best region" (no capacity target) | Preset | Region optimization is preset's specialty |
Some prompts require two modes in sequence:
Pattern: Capacity → Deploy When a user specifies a capacity requirement AND wants deployment:
💡 Tip: If unsure which mode the user wants, default to Preset (quick deployment). Users who want customization will typically use explicit keywords like "custom", "configure", or "with specific settings".
Before any deployment, resolve which project to deploy to. This applies to all modes (preset, customize, and after capacity discovery).
PROJECT_RESOURCE_ID env var — if set, use it as the defaultAlways confirm the target before deploying. Show the user what will be used and give them a chance to change it:
Deploying to:
Project: <project-name>
Region: <region>
Resource: <resource-group>
Is this correct? Or choose a different project:
1. ✅ Yes, deploy here (default)
2. 📋 Show me other projects in this region
3. 🌍 Choose a different regionIf user picks option 2, show top 5 projects in that region:
Projects in <region>:
1. project-alpha (rg-alpha)
2. project-beta (rg-beta)
3. project-gamma (rg-gamma)
...⚠️ Never deploy without showing the user which project will be used. This prevents accidental deployments to the wrong resource.
Before presenting any deployment options (SKU, capacity), always validate both of these:
Model supports the SKU — query the model catalog to confirm the selected model+version supports the target SKU:
az cognitiveservices model list --location <region> --subscription <sub-id> -o jsonFilter for the model, extract .model.skus[].name to get supported SKUs.
Subscription has available quota — check that the user's subscription has unallocated quota for the SKU+model combination:
az cognitiveservices usage list --location <region> --subscription <sub-id> -o jsonMatch by usage name pattern OpenAI.<SKU>.<model-name> (e.g., OpenAI.GlobalStandard.gpt-4o). Compute available = limit - currentValue.
⚠️ Warning: Only present options that pass both checks. Do NOT show hardcoded SKU lists — always query dynamically. SKUs with 0 available quota should be shown as ❌ informational items, not selectable options.
💡 Quota management: For quota increase requests, usage monitoring, and troubleshooting quota errors, defer to the quota skill instead of duplicating that guidance inline.

Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Deploy Model is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing.
Deploy Model fits situations like: create deployment; model deployment; deploy openai model; provision model.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill deploy-model -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .claude/skills/deploy-model in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill deploy-model -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .agents/skills/deploy-model in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill deploy-model -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deploy-model, .gemini/skills/deploy-model, .github/skills/deploy-model and .opencode/skills/deploy-model in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Deploy Model needs PowerShell and a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (az). Our summary lists: A Bash shell; PowerShell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. 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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Deploy Model is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Deploy Model: Azure Architecture Autopilot (github/awesome-copilot, 40k stars), Letta Configuration (letta-ai/skills, 147 stars), Azure AI Deploy (timothywarner-org/claude-code, 224 stars) and Azure AI Projects TS (microsoft/skills, 3.1k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
