azd custom params - Someone asked me how to add custom prompts to azd up. Couldn't find one comprehensive doc, so I built a sample repo showing 3 approaches - allowed pick lists, free-text params, and hooks.

`azd update` is live.

I kept forgetting how I installed azd, so updating was always annoying. The team shipped `azd update` and now it's just one command, any platform, done.

Try it and file issues if you hit anything.

The gap between "Copilot can explain Azure" and "Copilot can do Azure work" just closed.

Azure Skills Plugin: 19+ curated workflows + 200+ MCP tools. Same prompt, but you get a Dockerfile, infra code, and deployment — not directions.

This will be helpful to you if you use EMU and Public GitHub CLI on the same machine. Just point copilot at this repo and tell it to set it up for you.
