azure-compute
Azure VM/VMSS router. 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.
Why this skill is useful
Adds multiple executable workflows for VM provisioning, troubleshooting, and management that are not commonly found in public documentation.

What this skill does
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 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
