1# Global Rules

3> **MANDATORY** — These rules apply to ALL skills. Violations are unacceptable.

5## Rule 1: Destructive Actions Require User Confirmation
6 
7⛔ **ALWAYS use `ask_user`** before ANY destructive action.
8 
9### What is Destructive?
10 
11| Category | Examples |
12|----------|----------|
13| **Delete** | `az group delete`, `azd down`, `rm -rf`, delete resource |
14| **Overwrite** | Replace existing files, overwrite config, reset settings |
15| **Irreversible** | Purge Key Vault, delete storage account, drop database |
16| **Cost Impact** | Provision expensive resources, scale up significantly |
17| **Security** | Expose secrets, change access policies, modify RBAC |
18 
19### How to Confirm
20 
21```
22ask_user(
23  question: "This will permanently delete resource group 'rg-myapp'. Continue?",
24  choices: ["Yes, delete it", "No, cancel"]
25)
26```
27 
28### No Exceptions
29 
30- Do NOT assume user wants to delete/overwrite
31- Do NOT proceed based on "the user asked to deploy" (deploy ≠ delete old)
32- Do NOT batch destructive actions without individual confirmation
33- ⛔ Do NOT delete user project or workspace directories (e.g., `rm -rf <project-dir>`) even when adding features, converting, or migrating — use MODIFY mode to edit existing files instead. File deletions within a project (e.g., removing build artifacts or temp files) are permitted when appropriate.
34- ⛔ `azd init -t <template>` (and any `azd init` command with a template argument) is for NEW projects only — run it **only** in an empty/new directory. If the user explicitly requests re-initialization of an existing project, create a separate new directory, run the template there, and then migrate changes into the existing project with user-confirmed edits. Never run `azd init -t` directly in a non-empty existing workspace. `azd init` without a template argument may be used in existing workspaces when appropriate.

38## Rule 2: Never Assume Subscription or Location
39 
40⛔ **ALWAYS use `ask_user`** to confirm:
41- Azure subscription (show actual name and ID)
42- Azure region/location
