30-SECOND BRIEF
What it does—and when it fits
Azure Resource Visualizer inventories a selected resource group, inspects configuration and dependencies, and creates a Markdown architecture document with a detailed Mermaid diagram. It maps network, data, identity, configuration, and parent-child relationships while replacing any secret values with placeholders.
INSTALL BY AGENT
Choose your Agent
Paths come from official Agent docs or the universal installer behind skills.sh. Compatibility still follows this Skill's record.
.claude/skills/azure-resource-visualizer/~/.claude/skills/azure-resource-visualizer/Use project scope for team sharing and personal scope across repositories. The installer defaults to project scope; add -g for personal scope.
npx skills add microsoft/azure-skills --skill azure-resource-visualizer --agent claude-codeClaude Code discovers custom Skill folders automatically at project or personal scope.

A practical workflow
Document a resource group
Build a complete inventory with types, regions, SKUs, and architecture-relevant settings.
Map resource relationships
Show network paths, data flows, managed identities, configuration links, and dependencies.
Generate reusable architecture docs
Write a structured Markdown report with inventory, Mermaid diagram, relationship notes, and observations.
THE TRADEOFFS
Advantages and tradeoffs
Notable strengths
- This profile is manually organized around the current upstream SKILL.md workflow.
- The capability boundary remains explicitly tied to microsoft/azure-skills.
- Core uses, limitations, and risks are separated for pre-install review.
Limitations
- Some relationships are inferred from configuration and naming; the diagram is documentation, not runtime traffic proof.
- A complete diagram requires broad read access and may become stale whenever resources or settings change.
BEST FIT
Who it is for
Cloud architects documenting Azure estates
Teams onboarding to an unfamiliar resource group
BEFORE YOU USE IT
Risks to review before use
Infrastructure topology disclosure
Architecture documents can expose network ranges, identities, tiers, and dependencies even without raw secrets. Restrict scope and sharing, use placeholders, and verify inferred connections before publication.
Upstream instruction drift
Behavior can change with upstream updates. Record the commit used for important workflows and review updates before adoption.
SECURITY
What the permission profile means
- Declared access remains governed by the current upstream SKILL.md and runtime requests.
- Treat repository files, web content, and tool output as untrusted input.
- SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-audited this package; external skills.sh labels are not SkillSignal certification.
Not a security certification. External ratings are attributed references. SkillSignal has not independently executed or security-reviewed this Skill.
