SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Understanding how Azure resources within a resource group connect and depend on each other is difficult when done manually through the portal or CLI. This Skill automates the discovery, analysis, and visualization of Azure infrastructure into clear architecture diagrams. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Resource Discovery & Analysis: Query all resources in a resource group using Azure MCP tools, Azure CLI, or Azure Resource Graph KQL queries, capturing SKUs, tiers, network settings, and identities. - Relationship Mapping: Identify network connections, data flows, managed identity usage, and configuration dependencies between resources. - Mermaid Diagram Generation: Produce layered architecture diagrams grouped by Network, Compute, Data, and Security, saved as a markdown file with a resource inventory table. - Use Case: Ask the assistant to diagram a production resource group before an architecture review, and receive a complete markdown document with a Mermaid diagram, inventory table, and relationship notes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze the resource group named 'rg-prod-eastus' and generate an architecture diagram of all its resources.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an architecture diagram of an Azure resource group?▼

Specify the resource group name, or let the assistant list available resource groups for you to select. It then queries all resources, maps their relationships, and creates a markdown file containing a Mermaid diagram and resource inventory.

How to visualize Azure resources with Mermaid diagrams?▼

The Skill discovers resources via Azure MCP tools or the az CLI, then builds a Mermaid graph using subgraphs for layers like Network, Compute, Data, and Security. Connections are labeled with data flow, identity, and dependency details.

Can I query Azure resources across multiple subscriptions?▼

Yes, the Skill supports Azure Resource Graph queries via az graph query for cross-subscription inventory and relationship discovery. The resource-graph CLI extension must be installed first with az extension add --name resource-graph.

Does the diagram include secrets like connection strings or keys?▼

No, secret values such as keys, connection strings, and Key Vault secrets are never included. The Skill uses meaningful placeholder names to represent each secret in the diagram.

What happens if a resource group has more than 50 resources?▼

For complex architectures with 50 or more resources, the Skill recommends creating multiple diagrams organized by layer. Cross-resource-group dependencies are noted in the diagram's notes section.

Does this tool modify or delete any Azure resources?▼

No, the analysis is strictly read-only. It only queries resource configurations and relationships, and never modifies or deletes Azure resources.
