What it does
Hcp Create Azure is an agent skill from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on Microsoft Azure with proper identity configuration and resource management
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Developer productivity tools for Claude Code & other AI assistants. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- You need to deploy HyperShift clusters on Microsoft Azure with proper identity configuration and resource management
Example prompts
- “/hcp-create-azure”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a627176. 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:
az
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
hypershift.openshift.iodocs.microsoft.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
Hcp Create Azure loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 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.

- description
- Use this skill when you need to deploy HyperShift clusters on Microsoft Azure with proper identity configuration and resource management
HyperShift Azure Provider
This skill provides implementation guidance for creating HyperShift clusters on Azure, focusing on self-managed control plane configuration, resource group management, and Azure identity integration.
When to Use This Skill
This skill is automatically invoked by the /hcp:generate azure command to guide the Azure provider cluster creation process.
Prerequisites
- Azure CLI configured with appropriate credentials
- Azure subscription with sufficient quotas
- HyperShift operator installed and configured
- Pull secret for accessing OpenShift images
Azure Provider Overview
Azure Provider Peculiarities
- Self-managed control plane only: For ARO HCP use ARO CLI instead
- Resource groups: Auto-created during cluster creation
- Limited region availability: Not all Azure regions support all features
- Azure identity required: Service principal or managed identity configuration
- Virtual network integration: Requires proper VNet configuration
- Control plane runs on Azure VMs: Managed by HyperShift operator
Identity Configuration Options
Choose one of three identity methods:
- Managed + Data Plane Identities: Use
--managed-identities-fileAND--data-plane-identities-file - Workload Identities: Use
--workload-identities-file - OIDC Integration: Use
--oidc-issuer-url
Implementation Steps
Step 1: Parse Environment Requirements
Environment Detection:
- Development: "dev", "testing", "demo" → Standard_D4s_v3, SingleReplica
- Production: "prod", "enterprise" → Standard_D8s_v3+, HighlyAvailable
Step 2: Interactive Parameter Collection
Required Parameters:
Cluster Name & Location
🔹 **Cluster Name**: What would you like to name your cluster? 🔹 **Azure Location**: Which Azure region? [default: eastus]Identity Configuration Method
🔹 **Identity Method**: Choose Azure identity configuration: 1. Managed + Data Plane Identities (recommended) 2. Workload Identities 3. OIDC IntegrationResource Group Configuration
🔹 **Resource Group**: Name for the resource group? [default: {cluster-name}-rg]
Step 3: Generate Command
Development Configuration:
hypershift create cluster azure \
--name dev-cluster \
--namespace dev-cluster-ns \
--location eastus \
--pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
--release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi \
--resource-group-name dev-cluster-rg \
--base-domain example.com \
--managed-identities-file /path/to/managed-identities.json \
--data-plane-identities-file /path/to/data-plane-identities.jsonProduction Configuration:
hypershift create cluster azure \
--name production-cluster \
--namespace production-cluster-ns \
--location eastus \
--pull-secret /path/to/pull-secret.json \
--release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-multi \
--resource-group-name production-cluster-rg \
--base-domain clusters.company.com \
--managed-identities-file /path/to/managed-identities.json \
--data-plane-identities-file /path/to/data-plane-identities.json \
--control-plane-availability-policy HighlyAvailableError Handling
Identity Configuration Issues
Azure identity files not found or invalid.
Required files for managed identity method:
1. managed-identities.json
2. data-plane-identities.json
Generate using Azure CLI:
az identity create --name hypershift-managed-identityResource Group Conflicts
Resource group "cluster-rg" already exists.
Options:
1. Use existing resource group (ensure proper permissions)
2. Choose different name
3. Delete existing resource group (if safe)See Also
