Mode B — Save to a local folder
Step 1 — Suggest a path
Detect the user's current working context (in priority order; pick the first that succeeds):
| Signal | Suggested path |
|---|---|
Host session has an --add-dir workspace containing a .git directory |
<workspace>/infra/{vm-name}/ |
| User mentioned a repo path earlier in the conversation | <that-path>/infra/{vm-name}/ |
pwd is inside a git repo |
<repo-root>/infra/{vm-name}/ |
| None of the above | ~/Desktop/{vm-name}-infra/ |
Present the suggestion and let the user override:
"I'll save to
~/Desktop/dev-vm-infra/(no repo detected). Use that, or pick another path?"
If the path already exists with files, always show the diff and ask before overwriting. Never silently clobber.
Step 2 — Choose the filename(s)
| Format | Files written |
|---|---|
| bash | create-vm.sh (chmod +x) |
| Bicep | main.bicep, README.md |
| Terraform | main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, terraform.tfvars.example, README.md |
The README.md contains:
- The full Plan Card markdown (so the next reader knows what this deploys)
- Deploy section with exact commands (
az deployment group create .../terraform init && apply .../bash create-vm.sh) - Verify section:
az vm show/az vm list-ip-addresses - Cleanup section:
az group delete --name <rg> --yes --no-wait
Step 3 — Write and confirm
After writing, echo back absolute paths and the single command the user runs next:
✅ Wrote 2 files:
~/source/my-infra/infra/dev-vm/main.bicep~/source/my-infra/infra/dev-vm/README.mdNext step:
cd ~/source/my-infra/infra/dev-vm az deployment group create --resource-group dev-vm-rg --template-file main.bicep \ --parameters vmName=dev-vm adminUsername=azureuser \ adminPublicKey="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
Tool implementation
Use the Write tool (or the host's equivalent) for each file. For shell scripts: write, then chmod +x via Bash.
