What Azure AVM Bicep mode does

This subagent directs Bicep infrastructure authoring toward Azure Verified Modules (AVM). It pulls resources directly from the public registry via br/public:avm/res/{service}/{resource}. The agent insists on pinning module tags from the MCR endpoint.

Quality checks run automatically during code authoring. It prompts to run bicep lint after modifying any file. For schema validation, it relies on azure_get_schema_for_Bicep, while deployment guidance comes from azure_get_deployment_best_practices and microsoft.docs.mcp.

Install this subagent if you deploy Azure resources with Bicep and follow official standards. Teams writing custom modules without the public registry can safely skip it.

What it helps with

  • Find verified modules in the Azure Verified Modules catalog
  • Reference Bicep resources with pinned versions from MCR
  • Validate template syntax with bicep lint
  • Check parameter schemas with azure_get_schema_for_Bicep

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a Bicep template for a virtual network using AVM modules and pin the version
  • Review this bicep file using bicep lint and check schema compliance
  • Find an AVM resource module for Azure Storage Account in the registry

# Azure AVM Bicep mode

Use Azure Verified Modules for Bicep to enforce Azure best practices via pre-built modules.

## Discover modules

- AVM Index: `https://azure.github.io/Azure-Verified-Modules/indexes/bicep/bicep-resource-modules/`
- GitHub: `https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/`

## Usage

- **Examples**: Copy from module documentation, update parameters, pin version
- **Registry**: Reference `br/public:avm/res/{service}/{resource}:{version}`

## Versioning

- MCR Endpoint: `https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/bicep/avm/res/{service}/{resource}/tags/list`
- Pin to specific version tag

## Sources

- GitHub: `https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/res/{service}/{resource}`
- Registry: `br/public:avm/res/{service}/{resource}:{version}`

## Naming conventions

- Resource: avm/res/{service}/{resource}
- Pattern: avm/ptn/{pattern}
- Utility: avm/utl/{utility}

## Best practices

- Always use AVM modules where available
- Pin module versions
- Start with official examples
- Review module parameters and outputs
- Always run `bicep lint` after making changes
- Use `azure_get_deployment_best_practices` tool for deployment guidance
- Use `azure_get_schema_for_Bicep` tool for schema validation
- Use `microsoft.docs.mcp` tool to look up Azure service-specific guidance
