Diagnose Azure Production Issues
Azure production incidents can span services, logs, metrics, credentials, and network paths. This skill guides structured triage with Azure Monitor, AppLens, KQL, CLI, and service-specific checks.
Stop for confirmation before installing.
Review the plan and obtain explicit user consent before changing files.
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "azure-diagnostics" from https://skillstore.io/skills/microsoft-azure-diagnostics.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/microsoft-azure-diagnostics/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Using "azure-diagnostics". An App Service returns 503 errors after a deployment.
Expected outcome:
Using "azure-diagnostics". AKS pods remain Pending after a node pool change.
Expected outcome:
Using "azure-diagnostics". A Service Bus client reports intermittent AMQP timeouts.
Expected outcome:
All 58 static alerts are contextual false positives from Markdown, placeholder endpoints, environment-selection examples, and diagnostic commands. However, SKILL.md contains a high-severity authority claim that resembles prompt injection and could improperly influence an agent's instruction hierarchy.

Correlate resource health, recent changes, logs, and metrics before selecting a remediation.
Investigate deployment errors, health probes, cold starts, runtime settings, and dependency failures.
Analyze AKS, Event Hubs, and Service Bus identity, networking, scaling, and client behavior.
Diagnose this Azure issue: [symptom]. The affected service is [service], the resource is [resource], and the problem began at [time].
Build a diagnostic plan for [resource]. Use [available logs or metrics], separate evidence from hypotheses, and list only read-only commands first.
Troubleshoot [failure] in [Azure service]. Compare identity, configuration, networking, resource health, recent changes, and service-specific failure patterns.
Investigate [incident] across [resources]. Correlate deployments, resource health, KQL results, identity, dependencies, and network paths. Rank root causes by evidence.

Instrument Apps with Azure Application Insights
Application teams need consistent telemetry setup across languages and Azure hosting services. This skill provides targeted SDK, infrastructure, environment, and query guidance for Application Insights.
Choose Least-Privilege Azure RBAC Roles
Selecting an Azure role with excessive permissions increases security risk. This skill recommends minimal roles and prepares Azure CLI and Bicep assignments.
Audit Azure Compliance and Key Vault Expiration
Azure teams need a consistent way to identify compliance gaps and expiring Key Vault assets. This skill runs scoped assessments and produces prioritized remediation guidance.
Visualize Azure Resource Group Architectures
Azure resource relationships can be difficult to review across complex groups. This skill inventories resources and creates structured Mermaid architecture documentation.
Analyze Azure Data Explorer with KQL
Azure Data Explorer data can be hard to inspect without the right KQL structure and schema context. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code build focused KQL queries, explore schemas, and troubleshoot ADX results.
Assess and Improve Azure Application Reliability
Azure application reliability gaps can remain hidden until a zone or region fails. This skill assesses key controls and guides confirmed Azure CLI or IaC remediation.
Troubleshoot DevOps Incidents Systematically
by sickn33
Complex incidents often produce scattered signals across applications, infrastructure, and cloud services. This skill organizes evidence, tests hypotheses, and recommends immediate and preventive actions.
Deploy Kubernetes Workloads With Guided Steps
by sickn33
Kubernetes releases require many coordinated artifacts and checks. This skill guides container preparation, manifests, Helm charts, service mesh, security, observability, and deployment validation.
Diagnose Errors and Resolve Incidents
by sickn33
Complex application failures are difficult to isolate across logs, traces, deployments, and services. This skill structures evidence, root-cause analysis, fixes, tests, and prevention.
Diagnose Errors Across Logs and Code
by sickn33
Distributed errors are difficult to trace across noisy logs, stack traces, deployments, and service boundaries. This skill organizes evidence into timelines, correlations, root-cause hypotheses, fixes, and recurrence monitoring.
Build Governed Incident Command Packets
by yaojingang
Incident response notes often become inconsistent, incomplete, and hard to review. This skill turns operational inputs into a governed packet with severity, owners, communications, and review notes.
Operate Reliable Production Services
by Asmayaseen
Production teams need clear reliability targets and repeatable incident practices. This skill provides SLO guidance, burn-rate alert patterns, and blameless postmortem templates.
