End-to-end orchestrator: from a business idea, app idea, or existing app to running Azure deployment with cost estimates and pre-deploy approval. Analyzes your app, auto-detects the right Azure services, scaffolds infrastructure code, and deploys — tailored to your app, not a template. Handles moving existing apps to Azure without rewriting or with minimal changes. WHEN: bring your app to Azure, plan my app, cost to run, is my code ready to deploy, deploy my app to the cloud, deploy all my services, what Azure services do I need, plan my Azure deployment, deploy my new app to Azure, one-click deploy, I have an app and want it on Azure, migrate my app to Azure, help me get started, build an app, no code yet, starter project. DO NOT USE FOR: use azd for deployment(use azure-deploy), optimizing existing costs (use cost-optimization), code readiness checks only (use azure-app-onboard-prereq).

Assess whether source code is ready to deploy to Azure — the check BEFORE infrastructure work. Evaluates build health, app completeness, dependencies and local services, stack compatibility, and deployment feasibility. Answers questions about what your app needs before it can be deployed — frameworks, dependencies, and configuration. Checks whether dependencies are compatible and identifies deployment blockers and unsupported frameworks. WHEN: "evaluate my repo", "is my app ready to deploy", "what does my app need to deploy", "what do I need before deploying", "does my app need", "can I ship this to Azure", "scan my repo for issues", "is this app deployable", "check if my app is ready for Azure", "do I need a Dockerfile", "what's blocking my deployment", "are there any blockers", "are my dependencies compatible", "does Azure support my framework", "what needs to change before deploying", "check my app configuration".

Assess and migrate cross-cloud workloads to Azure with reports and code conversion. Supports Lambda→Functions, Beanstalk/Heroku/App Engine→App Service, Fargate/Kubernetes/Cloud Run/Spring Boot→Container Apps. WHEN: migrate Lambda to Functions, AWS to Azure, migrate Beanstalk, migrate Heroku, migrate App Engine, Cloud Run migration, Fargate to ACA, ECS/Kubernetes/GKE/EKS to Container Apps, Spring Boot to Container Apps, cross-cloud migration.

Run Azure compliance and security audits with azqr plus Key Vault expiration checks. Covers best-practice assessment, resource review, policy/compliance validation, and security posture checks. WHEN: compliance scan, security audit, BEFORE running azqr (compliance cli tool), Azure best practices, Key Vault expiration check, expired certificates, expiring secrets, orphaned resources, compliance assessment.

Build and query Kusto graphs from natural language. Covers transient graphs (make-graph), persistent graph models/snapshots, pattern matching (graph-match), shortest paths, connected components, and graph-to-table export. Generates the edges-first thinking: define edges, define node lookups, union, make-graph. WHEN: make-graph, graph-match, graph-shortest-paths, graph-to-table, graph-mark-components, persistent graph, graph model, graph snapshot, build a graph from data, find paths between nodes, pattern matching in graph, connected components, transient graph, Kusto graph, KQL graph.

Compose IRQL (Incident Response Query Language) queries for Kusto cybersecurity investigations. Translates natural language hunting questions into composable IRQL pipelines using Get_*, Extract_*, and Enrich_* functions. WHEN: IRQL query, security hunt, threat hunting KQL, incident response query, compose hunting pipeline, failed logins, phishing investigation, lateral movement, process execution, file creation events.

Apply IRQL graph functions to KQL or IRQL query results for Kusto Explorer visualization. Generates Lift_To_Graph mappings and composes Graph_Render_View, Graph_Fold_By_Property, Extract_Node_*, Enrich_Node_*, and Enrich_Graph_* calls. Accepts a supplied query or limited basic natural-language source request; it is not a general natural-language-to-KQL/IRQL skill. WHEN: Lift_To_Graph, Graph_Render_View, Graph_Fold_By_Property, IRQL graph enrichment, graph mapping for existing query results, icon-decorated graph, fold graph nodes. Use azure-kusto-graph for native make-graph analysis, graph-match, shortest paths, components, or persistent graphs.

Plan, deploy, operate, and troubleshoot Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI): sizing and prerequisites, Arc registration, lifecycle updates, workloads (Azure Local VMs, AKS on Azure Local, images, disks, logical networks), SDN and network security, and failure triage — starting read-only and confirming before risky changes.
