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 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 Mandatory workflow first routing: never route directly to references/ files. First classify the user intent below, open the matched workflow file, then load only the reference files that workflow requests. Reference files are supporting material, not entry points. If the intent is unclear, ask a clarifying question to disambiguate between the workflows. Workflow File Use when VM Recommender [vm recommender.md](workflows/vm recommender/vm recommender.md) User asks which VM/VMSS to choose, whether to use VMSS/autoscaling, wants pricing, or wants to compare options VM Creator [vm creator.md](workflows/vm creator/vm creator.md) User wants to create, provision, or deploy a bare VM or VMSS (not an app deployment) Capacity Reservation [capacity reservation.md](workflows/capacity reservation/capacity reservation.md) User needs to reserve / guarantee VM capacity (CRG create / associate / disassociate) Essential Machine Management [essential machine management.md](workflows/essential machine management/essential machine management.md) User asks about EMM / machine enrollment / monitor
