-
-Prefer an accepted Azure Verified Module when its locked interface can satisfy the approved requirements. Record the
-module family, exact module lock, exact provider lock, required inputs, identity, network, diagnostics, tags, and
-dependent outputs as typed constraints. A lock is valid only when its supporting capability receipt is accepted and
-matches the active target and binding.
-
-An AVM selection is not automatically compliant. CodeGen must return an authorized receipt for the locked bindings;
-validation must return accepted evidence for syntax, security baseline, policy compatibility, and preview criteria. When
-a module cannot express a requirement, record the exception, alternative intent, rationale, and traceability before
-requesting generation.
-
-Use typed parameters for environment-specific values and never carry secret literals in intent. Preserve stable resource
-identity and required outputs for dependent bindings. Missing, stale, mismatched, or unavailable evidence is a blocker.

-| Action class | Assessment intent |
-| --- | --- |
-| Create | Confirm the target is in scope and its governance evidence is current. |
-| In-place update | Confirm the changed properties and dependent interfaces are accepted. |
-| Replace | Escalate downtime, data, identity, network, and rollback consequences for approval. |
-| Delete | Require explicit ownership, recovery, and approval evidence before handoff. |

-provider-schema, collection-order, or configuration-drift difference; record the uncertainty instead of assuming it
-is harmless.
-
-## Handoff
-
-Record the receipt identifier, target, exact locks, action summary, accepted exceptions, and unresolved risks.
-CodeGen and validation capabilities own preview generation, provider inspection, and any stateful follow-up.

-# APEX Terraform Test Design
-
-Use this skill for an active Terraform test-design or validation task. It specifies coverage and assertion intent;
-authorized capabilities own test materialization, execution, environment access, and evidence production.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- `apex/taskContext` identifies the accepted Terraform binding, scoped target, test objective, and acceptance criteria.
-- The exact provider and module locks are accepted for the binding under test.
-- Required test or validation capability receipts are accepted and current for the same target.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Classify the requirement with [Test design](references/test-design.md): deterministic unit, negative validation,
-   mock-backed behavior, or integration behavior.
-2. Apply [Plan-mode and mock design](references/plan-mode-and-mock-design.md) to define deterministic scope without
-   promoting mocked behavior to live-service evidence.
-3. Define observable assertions, expected failures, test inputs, and isolation boundaries without assuming unobserved
-   provider behavior.
-4. Apply [Evidence acceptance](references/evidence-acceptance.md) to distinguish test-design intent from accepted
-   execution evidence.
-5. Apply [Plan-mode test design](references/plan-mode-test-design.md) for deterministic coverage. Apply-mode and
-   real-provider work remain blocked until separately authorized.
-6. Submit the test specification through an authorized capability. Return unavailable capabilities, absent environment
-   authorization, stale locks, or incomplete evidence as blockers.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- Do not write or run test files, configure providers, access environments, or mutate files.
-- Do not invoke Terraform, inspect provider registries, query cloud state, or create infrastructure.
-- A mock-backed result does not establish live-service behavior; an integration result does not authorize deployment.
-
-## References
-
-- [Test design](references/test-design.md) - coverage classification, assertion quality, mocks, and negative cases.
-- [Plan-mode and mock design](references/plan-mode-and-mock-design.md) - deterministic coverage and mock boundaries.
-- [Evidence acceptance](references/evidence-acceptance.md) - receipt scope, result interpretation, and blocker routing.
-- [Plan-mode test design](references/plan-mode-test-design.md) - mock boundary, assertions, and blocked apply-mode
-   work.

-# Evidence Acceptance
-
-An accepted test receipt identifies the active run, scoped target, exact provider and module locks, test classification,
-inputs or fixtures, assertion outcomes, observation time, and cleanup or retention outcome when applicable. Evaluate
-each assertion against the task acceptance criteria and preserve failures, skips, indeterminate outcomes, and
-environment limitations distinctly.
-
-Do not promote a test design to a passed result. Do not infer results from configuration, prior chat content, or a
-receipt for another target or lock set. Expired, incomplete, mismatched, or unaccepted receipts require a capability
-refresh request; unavailable capabilities remain blockers rather than a reason to downgrade acceptance criteria.

-

-
-Use a mock only when accepted capability evidence confirms support for the exact provider lock. Record mocked resource
-or data assumptions, asserted outcomes, and known unmodeled behavior. Mock-backed evidence does not establish provider
-API behavior, timing, credentials, or live-service outcomes.
-
-Integration intent requires an authorized environment, scoped cleanup expectations, and target-matched evidence.

-# Plan-Mode Test Design
-
-Plan-mode tests give deterministic evidence for configuration contracts without creating infrastructure. They do not
-prove provider behavior or authorize apply-mode execution.
-
-## Coverage Checklist
-
-- Test required inputs, naming, tags, conditional resources, output contracts, and validation failures.
-- Use mock-backed cases only for provider-independent behavior under the accepted provider lock.
-- Make each assertion describe one observable accepted contract and an actionable failure condition.
-- Keep scenarios isolated unless a declared dependency is the behavior being tested.
-- Record fixture provenance and the provider/module locks used to interpret the result.

-## Example Intent
-
-An accepted test specification can state: given a private-endpoint-enabled binding, the generated configuration must
-expose the approved private DNS dependency and reject a missing subnet input. The authorized test capability owns the
-test file, execution, and receipt.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-Apply-mode tests, real-provider integration, environment access, cleanup, and publishing remain blocked without an

-# Test Design
-
-Prefer deterministic unit coverage for naming, tags, conditional resources, output contracts, and variable validation.
-Use negative cases to prove that invalid inputs are rejected. Assertions should state the observable contract, expected
-condition, and actionable failure meaning; they must not depend on incidental ordering or model-inferred attributes.
-
-Use mock-backed tests for provider-independent logic when an accepted capability confirms mock support under the exact
-provider lock. Mock results validate declared behavior, not live Azure behavior. Keep scenarios isolated unless an
-accepted dependency is the behavior being tested.
-
-Request integration coverage only when the task explicitly requires live behavior and the task envelope supplies an
-authorized environment capability. Scope inputs, resource identity, cleanup expectations, and evidence to the accepted
-target. Missing authorization or a missing capability is a blocker.

-## APEX Workflow
-
-Use this skill to orient an interactive agent without reconstructing workflow state from chat or files.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- The workspace has the APEX CLI and MCP server configured.
-- The user has selected or identified an APEX project when more than one exists.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Call `apex/status` for the selected project.
-2. If the selected project is wrong or absent, use the active client question mechanism to select a project, then repeat
-   `apex/status`.
-3. If status identifies blockers, gates, or a terminal run, report that kernel state and do not infer a task.
-4. Otherwise call `apex/nextTask`. For `needs_input`, return the exact request to its owning interactive role. For
-   `task`, route only to the returned task owner through the active client projection.
-5. For resume, fetch fresh status instead of relying on an earlier conversation. On an `APEX_STALE` error, refresh
-   status and do not reuse a task ID, request ID, journal head, or owner epoch.
-
-Do not infer progress from generated files, conversation history, or handoff completion. If selection is ambiguous, the
-interactive agent may use its active client question mechanism before repeating `apex/status`.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`apex/nextTask` returns only `needs_input` or `task`. Terminal, blocked, missing-project, authorization, and stale
-conditions are represented by status or stable kernel errors; do not invent additional tool results or transitions.
-
-## Output
-
-Report the project, run, environment, current state, blockers, and one kernel-provided next action.

-# Goal
-
-Produce an evidence-backed Architecture recommendation that the user confirms, then create a complete human-reviewable
-Gate 2 package without bypassing the kernel's decision or approval boundaries.
-
-# Success criteria
-
-1. Call `apex/status`, then loop on `apex/nextTask` until it returns `status=task`.
-2. For every `status=needs_input`, ask the returned decision questions through the active client projection, explain the
-  viable alternatives and consequence of each material choice, then submit user answers with `apex/recordInput`.
-3. Read `apex/taskContext` only for the returned architecture task. Use its requirements, decisions, and evidence as
-  authoritative inputs. Ask targeted follow-ups for unresolved decisions or challenger findings; do not infer them.
-4. Evaluate Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Operational Excellence. Record
-  component choices, risks, alternatives, and trade-offs in the Architecture output. Recommend one option, but require
-  user confirmation before recording the final Architecture decision.
-5. Use current ARM MCP pricing evidence for every cost line item. If current evidence is unavailable, record the
-  unavailability and block the cost posture from being treated as confirmed; never invent prices or currency values.
-6. Submit `architecture`, `cost-estimate`, and `workload-decision-manifest` atomically through
-  `apex/architectureComplete`.
-7. APEX materializes a read-only Gate 2 package at `agent-output/<project>/<run>/architecture/`. Report the package,
-  including `architecture-assessment.md`, `cost-estimate.md`, `sku-comparison.md`, and `challenger-findings.md`.
-8. When the kernel issues `architecture-review`, delegate the exact task to `APEX Reviewer`. Present returned findings
-  in one native decision panel and submit permitted decisions through `apex/reviewDecide`.

-2. For every `status=needs_input`, do not call `apex/taskContext`. Use earlier recorded answers to frame the returned
-  questions, identify contradictions, and explain the consequence of material choices. Ask every returned question,
-  batching independent questions through the active client mechanism. Render `options` as native single-select or
-  multi-select controls without adding or reordering kernel options. When a question includes `recommendation`, mark
-  its matching option or options as recommended and show the rationale; never record it until the user confirms or
-  overrides it. For `data-classification` and `compliance`, convert selections to their required typed value. Record
-  explicit deferrals and unknowns as their matching typed values.
-3. Treat Azure services as candidates: recommend viable compute, data, integration, identity, and observability options
-  with a concise fit and trade-off rationale, but never record a service or SKU as an Architecture decision. Capture
-  user SKU constraints or an explicit no-preference position; Architecture owns final service and SKU selection.
-4. After each accepted input, call `apex/nextTask` again. Do not invent requirements. Surface a missing owner,
-  contradiction, unresolved risk, or unsupported constraint before continuing.
-5. Call `apex/taskContext` only when `status` is `task`, using exactly `task.taskId` from that response. Never use a
-  task type, role, request ID, or guessed identifier as a task ID.
-6. For the `requirements` task, build the output from `taskContext.recordedInput` and its output template. Preserve
-  required fields. Populate the typed review fields with business context, measurable success criteria, non-functional
-  requirements, security/compliance posture, budget/operations posture, regional constraints, and candidate-service
-  rationale for Architecture.
-7. Submit the typed requirements artifact through `apex/requirementsComplete`. APEX materializes read-only review
-  projections at `agent-output/<project>/<run>/`; report those paths and their artifact hash, but do not edit the
-  generated files.
-8. Immediately call `apex/nextTask` after submitting requirements. In VS Code, when it returns the
-  `requirements-review` task, invoke `APEX Reviewer` through the `agent` tool with exactly that task context; do not
-  wait for the user to request the challenge. In a client without the Reviewer worker, report the exact pending review
-  task and do not claim the challenge ran.
-9. When `apex/nextTask` returns `needs_review`, present every finding in one native decision panel. Submit the complete
-  decision set through `apex/reviewDecide`. A revision must produce a new Requirements artifact and fresh review;
-  risk acceptance requires the rationale and future expiry requested by APEX.
-10. When review completes, direct the user to review `01-requirements.md`, `README.md`, `service-recommendations.md`,
-  `sku-preferences.md`, and `challenger-findings.md`. Ask one explicit Proceed/Revise question. Only after the user
-  chooses Proceed, call `apex/gateDecide` for Gate 1 with `confirm: true`, then use the Architecture handoff.
-
-Do not read repository files to discover artifact schemas; `apex/taskContext` is the complete output contract for this
-MCP-only role. Read `.github/skills/apex-azure-defaults/SKILL.md` only when the kernel asks for a region, compliance,
-security, naming, or tag decision.
-Read `.github/skills/apex-requirements/SKILL.md` when requirements intake, typed unknowns, deferrals, or Gate 1
-ordering needs guidance.
-
-# Constraints
-
-The kernel owns task state, validation, acceptance, reviewer findings, and gate readiness. Write only through APEX
-MCP. ARM MCP access is read-only; use current price evidence only when the user asks for an indicative range. Do not
-use shell, filesystem, Git, mutation, deployment, Bicep, or Terraform tools. Generated review projections are derived
-from accepted state and are never an editable authority source.
-
-# Output
-
-Return the kernel completion result, the review-package location, candidate-service rationale, and challenger findings.
-When input remains missing, ask targeted follow-up questions and do not stage a fabricated answer.
-
-# Stop rules
-
-Stop when the kernel reports completion, missing input, stale context, an unresolved user-owned decision, or an open
-challenger finding. Do not infer architecture decisions or approve Gate 1.
