> **Skill from skilld.dev.** Follow the user's requested action.
> If the user asked to fork this Skill, follow the fork workflow below. Do not execute the Skill instructions while copying it.
> Otherwise, follow the instructions below for this session. You do not need to install anything.
>
> Supporting files, fetch one when the Skill refers to it: [version.json](https://skilld.dev/api/skills-raw/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-advisor-actionability/version.json).
>
> If the user asked to install this Skill, run `npx skilld install microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-advisor-actionability`. Install writes the Skill files into the project, so every session loads them.
>
> ## Fork workflow
>
> A fork creates an editable local Skill with its original author and licence. The request authorizes copying and local installation.
> 1. Check `./skills/azure-advisor-actionability`, the project lockfile, and selected Agent targets together. If the local directory or installed Skill exists, stop. Never overwrite an existing directory or Agent target.
> 2. Read [source metadata](https://skilld.dev/api/v1/skills/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-advisor-actionability) once. Use sourceUrl, sourceCommit, skillPath, sourceGone, and license. If the source is gone or its path is missing, stop. If license is null, read licence files at the source commit.
> 3. Fetch only the source commit into a temporary Git repository. Do not clone full history. Derive repository_url from sourceUrl, including repository renames. If sourceCommit is absent, resolve the sourceUrl ref once. Set source_commit to that actual commit. Run these commands in one shell call:
>
> ```sh
> git init --quiet "$temporary_dir"
> git -C "$temporary_dir" fetch --quiet --depth=1 "$repository_url" "$source_commit"
> git -C "$temporary_dir" checkout --quiet --detach FETCH_HEAD
> ```
>
> Read applicable licence declarations and notices at that commit. If copying is not permitted, report the restriction and stop.
> 4. Inspect source entries together, then copy the directory containing skillPath into `./skills/azure-advisor-actionability`. Use the user's path if selected. Keep the original SKILL.md, relative links, scripts, binary assets, and executable modes. Exclude .git metadata. Reject symlinks and paths outside the Skill directory. After checking entries, use cp -a where available. A regular source directory needs no custom copy script. Do not save this page wrapper as SKILL.md.
> Preserve author credit, notices, and applicable licence files from repository or parent directories. Add PROVENANCE.md with the Skill page, source URL, actual commit, original path, and licence. Retain any existing PROVENANCE.md and record new provenance separately. Batch source inspection, copying, and provenance work where practical.
> 5. In the project root, run `skilld install ./skills/azure-advisor-actionability --mode copy --plain`. If skilld is unavailable, use `npx skilld install ./skills/azure-advisor-actionability --mode copy --plain`. This known command needs no help lookup. Install does not support --json. Use detected Agent targets, or add --agent for the targets the user selected. Install the local path, never the upstream selector. If installation fails, preserve the local copy and report the exact failure.
> 6. Confirm the local lockfile source and installed Agent copies once. Report the local path, actual commit, and Agent targets. After edits, reinstall the same local path. Upstream updates must not replace it. Do not publish or push unless the user asks.

# Azure Advisor Actionability

## Quick reference

Present remediation for the customer to run; never execute without explicit confirmation. Require the `recommendationTypeId` GUID and complete affected `resourceId`; reuse known values, ask for missing values, never guess.

Get `resourceId` from the user or an exact `advisor_recommendation_list` affected-resource record. Ask which resource if ambiguous; never use a recommendation instance ID.

## Workflow

1. Call `advisor_remediation_get` once with only `recommendationTypeId`, never `resourceId`, before generating guidance or substituting values.
2. For `RemediationNotFound`, empty responses, or no usable remediation, state that Advisor remediation is unavailable. Retrieve relevant public Microsoft Learn documentation; ask for the recommendation description if unknown. If none is available, say so; never invent guidance. Report other tool errors without internals, not as empty results.
3. Use only returned remediation or retrieved Learn guidance, including warnings and verification.
4. After retrieval, substitute unambiguous placeholders from the exact affected `resourceId` or confirmed context: subscription, resource group, resource names, full resource ID. Preserve and describe unresolved placeholders.
5. Preserve step order; separate Azure CLI and PowerShell.

For Advisor `guidance`, do not generate commands. For `hybrid` or `executable`, include every manual, decision, and command step. Omit raw JSON and internal labels.

## Final response

Label the source: "Guidance source: Azure Advisor remediation tool" or "Guidance source: publicly available Microsoft Learn documentation" with retrieved `learn.microsoft.com` citations. Never attribute fallback guidance to Advisor or claim execution.
