This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
**UTILITY SKILL** — Shared IaC deploy patterns for Bicep + Terraform agents: deployment strategies, circuit breaker, known deploy issues. WHEN: "phased deployment", "circuit breaker", "deploy strategy", "deploy issue", "shared IaC pattern". DO NOT USE FOR: preflight (azure-validate), code generation (azure-bicep-patterns / terraform-patterns).Key capabilities
- →Implement phased deployment strategies
- →Execute circuit breaker patterns
- →Verify environment values
- →Manage IaC deployment gates
How it works
Uses shared deployment patterns to manage phased rollouts and automatic circuit breaking for IaC projects.
Inputs & outputs
When to use iac-common
- →Phased deployment planning
- →Implementing circuit breaker patterns
- →Resolving IaC deployment issues
- →Applying shared deploy patterns
About iac-common
Implements standard deployment workflows such as phased rollouts and automatic circuit breaking if policy violations occur. It directs users to preflight validation tools.

Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Retry loop capped at 3 attempts
- →Requires explicit user approval for previews
How it compares
Provides standardized deployment logic and safety gates instead of manual or ad-hoc deployment scripts.

azure-deployment-preflight
github
Performs comprehensive preflight validation of Bicep deployments to Azure, including template syntax validation, what-if analysis, and permission checks. Use this skill before any deployment to Azure to preview changes, identify potential issues, and ensure the deployment will succeed. Activate when users mention deploying to Azure, validating Bicep files, checking deployment permissions, previewing infrastructure changes, running what-if, or preparing for azd provision.
terraform-azurerm-set-diff-analyzer
github
Analyze Terraform plan JSON output for AzureRM Provider to distinguish between false-positive diffs (order-only changes in Set-type attributes) and actual resource changes. Use when reviewing terraform plan output for Azure resources like Application Gateway, Load Balancer, Firewall, Front Door, NSG, and other resources with Set-type attributes that cause spurious diffs due to internal ordering changes.
hybrid-cloud-networking
