Azure Compute Skill

Routes Azure VM and Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) requests to the right workflow.

When to Use This Skill

User wants to recommend, compare, or price a VM or VMSS

User wants to create, provision, or deploy a VM or VMSS

User can't connect to a VM (RDP / SSH / port refused / black screen / password reset)

User asks about Capacity Reservation Groups (CRG) — reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision

User asks about Essential Machine Management (EMM) — machine enrollment, monitor

Disambiguate with azure-prepare: if the user wants to deploy an application (Docker service, web app, API, serverless workload), route to azure-prepare. vm-creator is for bare VM/VMSS infrastructure only.

Routing
Azure compute intent?
├── Recommend / compare / price a VM or VMSS         → VM Recommender
├── Create / provision / deploy a VM or VMSS         → VM Creator
├── Can't connect / RDP / SSH / port refused         → VM Troubleshooter
├── Reserve / guarantee capacity (CRG)               → Capacity Reservation
├── Machine enrollment / Essential Machine Management → Essential Machine Management
└── Unclear                                          → Ask which of the above

Routing rule: read the matched workflow file before any reference file. The workflow owns the step-by-step guidance; references are looked up on demand.
