Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure at f2526ae581.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Azure Resource Visualizer skill enables users to generate visual diagrams of their Azure resource architecture directly from code or configuration files. It supports multiple formats, including ARM templates and Terraform scripts, and provides a clear graphical representation for better understanding and documentation.

When to use it

  • To quickly visualize the structure of an Azure deployment before implementation.
  • For team collaboration by sharing visual diagrams of cloud infrastructure.
  • During troubleshooting or auditing to understand resource dependencies.
  • To document existing environments for onboarding new team members.

Key capabilities

  • Generates architecture diagrams from ARM templates and Terraform scripts.
  • Supports multiple visualization formats, including PNG and SVG.
  • Integrates with Azure DevOps and GitHub workflows for automated diagram generation.
  • Provides interactive visualizations that can be explored in detail.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a visual diagram of the Azure resources defined in this ARM template."
  • "Create an architecture diagram from my Terraform script."
  • "Visualize the resource dependencies in this Azure deployment."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your code or configuration files are correctly formatted and validated before using this skill.
  • Diagrams may become complex for large-scale deployments, so consider simplifying or filtering resources as needed.
