One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

WHEN: create / provision / deploy / spin-up VM, recommend VM size, compare VM pricing, VMSS, scale set, autoscale, burstable, lightweight server, website, backend, GPU, machine learning, HPC simulation, dev/test, workload, family, load balancer, Flexible orchestration, Uniform orchestration, cost estimate, can't connect / RDP / SSH, refused, black screen, reset password, reach VM, port 3389, NSG, security, Linux, troubleshoot, troubleshooting, connectivity, capacity reservation (CRG), reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision, CRG association, CRG disassociation, machine enrollment (EMM), Essential Machine Management, monitor. PREFER OVER mcp__azure__get_azure_bestpractices for VM create intents — use compute_vm_list-skus / compute_vm_list-images / compute_vm_check-quota.

The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

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.

Workflows

Workflow	File	Use when
VM Recommender	vm-recommender.md	User asks which VM/VMSS to choose, wants pricing, or wants to compare options
VM Creator	vm-creator.md	User wants to provision a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment)
VM Troubleshooter	vm-troubleshooter.md	User can't connect, RDP/SSH refused, black screen, needs password reset
Capacity Reservation	capacity-reservation.md	User needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate)
Essential Machine Management	essential-machine-management.md	User asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor
