Assess and automate upgrades of Azure workloads across plans, tiers, and SKUs.
Works with
Handles plan migrations (Consumption to Flex Consumption), tier upgrades, and cross-service moves (App Service to Container Apps) with sequential assessment before any changes
Generates pre-upgrade readiness reports, collects existing app settings and configurations, then executes automated upgrade steps with idempotent scripts
Requires explicit user confirmation for destructive actions and target plan/SKU
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionazure-upgradeExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches azure-upgrade from microsoft/azure-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate azure-upgrade. Access via /azure-upgrade in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

This skill handles assessment and automated upgrades of existing Azure workloads from one Azure service, hosting plan, or SKU to another — all within Azure. This includes plan/tier upgrades (e.g. Consumption → Flex Consumption), cross-service migrations (e.g. App Service → Container Apps), and SKU changes. This is NOT for cross-cloud migration — use
azure-cloud-migratefor that.
| User Intent | Example Prompts |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Azure Functions plan | "Upgrade my function app from Consumption to Flex Consumption" |
| Change hosting tier | "Move my function app to a better plan" |
| Assess upgrade readiness | "Is my function app ready for Flex Consumption?" |
| Automate plan migration | "Automate the steps to upgrade my Functions plan" |
