What it does
Analyzes Azure resource groups and generates Mermaid architecture diagrams showing resource types, configurations, and relationships. Useful for documenting existing infrastructure, understanding data flows between services, and identifying dependencies across compute, networking, storage, and identity layers.
Generated from the current SKILL.md.
Frequently asked
Does this skill work with all Azure resource types?
The skill analyzes all resources in a specified resource group using Azure MCP tools or CLI, but the quality of relationship mapping depends on whether those resources expose their dependencies through Azure APIs. Well-integrated services like App Service, Functions, Storage, and Databases will be fully mapped; custom or third-party resources may have limited relationship detection.
Can this skill analyze resources across multiple resource groups or subscriptions?
The skill focuses on a single resource group at a time, but it can use Azure Resource Graph queries for cross-subscription inventory discovery. Cross-resource-group dependencies are noted in the diagram as external references.
Will secret values appear in the generated diagrams?
No. The skill explicitly replaces all secret values—keys, connection strings, Key Vault secrets—with meaningful placeholder names in the diagrams and documentation.
What format does the skill output?
A markdown file containing a resource inventory table, detailed Mermaid architecture diagram with logical grouping, relationship explanations, and notes. The diagram uses top-to-bottom or left-to-right layout depending on architecture width.
Does this skill modify or delete Azure resources?
No. The skill performs read-only analysis only and will never modify or delete resources.
