What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Use this skill for Azure security posture review, baseline hardening, managed identity adoption, Key Vault posture, private access decisions, Azure Policy guardrails, and logging or audit gap analysis. Trigger when the user asks how to harden an Azure workload or platform without defaulting to broad access or public exposure.

Azure Security Posture Hardening
Purpose
Review and harden Azure platform or workload posture using operator-grade controls:
- least privilege,
- managed identities over stored secrets,
- private access where justified,
- Key Vault hardening,
- policy-enforced controls,
- audit and diagnostic coverage,
- staged remediation with rollout safety.
When to use
Use this skill when the user asks for:
- Azure security baseline or posture review,
- managed identity migration guidance,
- Key Vault hardening or secret-handling critique,
- private endpoint or public exposure decisions for sensitive services,
- Azure Policy or Defender-backed hardening recommendations,
- logging, diagnostics, or auditability expectations for Azure security controls,
- zero-trust-oriented review of platform or workload controls.
Do not use this skill as a full compliance audit, incident forensics runbook, or a substitute for deep service-specific implementation docs.
Lean operating rules
- Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP, then sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.
- Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.
- Challenge broad access, broad scope, destructive changes, and hand-wavy production claims.
- Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.

Return, at minimum:
- the scoped target and evidence level,
- the main risks or control gaps,
- the safest next actions,
- the assumptions or blockers that prevent stronger conclusions.
