Az Cli

Az CLI

Help users accomplish Azure tasks by identifying the right az commands, gathering required parameters, and executing them.

Workflow

When a user asks to do something with Azure:

1. Identify the command — find the right az subcommand from the reference docs below. If the task spans multiple commands, plan the sequence.
2. Check for required parameters — read the relevant reference file to understand what the command needs. If the user hasn't provided required values (resource group, name, SKU, location, etc.), ask them before running anything.
3. Construct and execute — build the command with the user's parameters and run it. If a command has optional flags that would be useful for the user's scenario, mention them.
4. Verify the result — after running a command, check the output for errors. If something fails, diagnose and suggest fixes (common issues: wrong resource group, missing provider registration, quota limits).

When a user asks about Azure CLI syntax or wants to know what commands are available for a service, read the relevant reference file and summarize what's available.
