What update-avm-modules-in-bicep does

This skill scans ${file}, finds Azure Verified Modules by their avm/res/{service}/{resource} paths, and reads the versions in use. It fetches available tags from MCR, compares them with semantic versioning, and identifies modules that need an update.

It uses #search, #searchResults, #fetch, #editFiles, #runCommands, and #todos when available. The skill edits module versions and parameters, then runs bicep lint and bicep build. It pauses for approval when an update includes incompatible parameters, security changes, or behavior changes.

Install it when a Bicep project uses AVM modules and needs a version review. It is unnecessary for files that do not reference AVM.

What it helps with

  • update AVM module versions in Bicep
  • find modules with newer releases
  • review parameter changes before editing
  • run bicep lint and bicep build after updates

Example prompts for the agent

  • “Check `${file}` and update all AVM modules to their latest versions.”
  • “Review `${file}` for breaking AVM changes and pause before applying them.”
  • “Update `${file}`, then run `bicep lint` and `bicep build`.”

# Update Azure Verified Modules in Bicep Files

Update Bicep file `${file}` to use latest Azure Verified Module (AVM) versions. Limit progress updates to non-breaking changes. Don't output information other than the final output table and summary.

## Process

1. **Scan**: Extract AVM modules and current versions from `${file}`
1. **Identify**: List all unique AVM modules used by matching `avm/res/{service}/{resource}` using `#search` tool
1. **Check**: Use `#fetch` tool to get latest version of each AVM module from MCR: `https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/bicep/avm/res/{service}/{resource}/tags/list`
1. **Compare**: Parse semantic versions to identify AVM modules needing update
1. **Review**: For breaking changes, use `#fetch` tool to get docs from: `https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/res/{service}/{resource}`
1. **Update**: Apply version updates and parameter changes using `#editFiles` tool
1. **Validate**: Run `bicep lint` and `bicep build` using `#runCommands` tool to ensure compliance.
1. **Output**: Summarize changes in a table format with summary of updates below.

## Tool Usage

Always use tools `#search`, `#searchResults`,`#fetch`, `#editFiles`, `#runCommands`, `#todos` if available. Avoid writing code to perform tasks.

## Breaking Change Policy

⚠️ **PAUSE for approval** if updates involve:

- Incompatible parameter changes
- Security/compliance modifications
- Behavioral changes

## Output Format

Only display results in table with icons:

```markdown
| Module | Current | Latest | Status | Action | Docs |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|--------|------|
| avm/res/compute/vm | 0.1.0 | 0.2.0 | 🔄 | Updated | [📖](link) |
| avm/res/storage/account | 0.3.0 | 0.3.0 | ✅ | Current | [📖](link) |

### Summary of Updates

Describe updates made, any manual reviews needed or issues encountered.
```

## Icons

- 🔄 Updated
- ✅ Current
- ⚠️ Manual review required
- ❌ Failed
- 📖 Documentation

## Requirements

- Use MCR tags API only for version discovery
- Parse JSON tags array and sort by semantic versioning
- Maintain Bicep file validity and linting compliance
