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 josiahsiegel/claude-plugin-marketplace at 5a1b1123b9.

    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

This skill enables AI agents to generate and manage Azure Deployment Stacks, which are a successor to Azure Blueprints. It allows for unified management of multiple Azure resources as a single unit, including updates, exports, deletions, and tracking. The skill provides resource protection through deny settings and automated cleanup policies when resources are removed from the stack.

When to use it

  • Automating the creation and configuration of production infrastructure in Azure.
  • Implementing consistent deployments across different Azure environments (resource group, subscription, management group).
  • Protecting critical Azure resources from unauthorized modifications or accidental deletion.
  • Managing a collection of Azure resources as a single unit for simplified lifecycle management.
  • Migrating from Azure Blueprints to Deployment Stacks before the July 2026 deprecation date.

Key capabilities

  • Unified Resource Management: Manage multiple resources as one, track all managed resources in one place, and ensure consistent deployments.
  • Resource Protection (Deny Settings): Configure DenyDelete or DenyWriteAndDelete to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  • Cleanup Policies (ActionOnUnmanage): Define actions like detachAll, deleteAll, or deleteResources for unmanaged resources.
  • Scope Flexibility: Deploy stacks at the resource group, subscription, or management group level.
  • What-if Analysis: Perform what-if analysis before deploying a stack to preview changes.

Example prompts

  • "Create an Azure Deployment Stack named 'MyProductionStack' in East US with deny settings set to DenyWriteAndDelete."
  • "Generate a deployment stack for a resource group, preventing deletion of resources."
  • "Show me the what-if analysis for my main.bicep template and parameters file."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Azure CLI version 2.61.0 or later, or Azure PowerShell version 12.0.0 or later. Ensure these are installed and updated before using the skill.
  • Azure Blueprints will be deprecated in July 2026; this skill provides a migration path.
  • The --yes flag can disable confirmation prompts during stack creation.
