Step 7: As-built documentation

Purpose

Document the observed deployment for the people who will operate it. Include the design, runbook, cost estimate, compliance evidence, recovery procedures, resource inventory, and an index. Keep unresolved issues visible.

Agent

08-As-Built uses the apex-azure-artifacts skill and reads every prior artifact in agent-output/{project}/.

Invocation

Select: 08-As-Built in Copilot Chat
Output: agent-output/{project}/07-*.md

Document suite

File	Purpose
07-documentation-index.md	Master index linking the whole suite
07-design-document.md	Technical design (architecture + decisions)
07-operations-runbook.md	Day-2 operational procedures
07-resource-inventory.md	Complete resource listing with IDs and tags
07-ab-cost-estimate.md	As-built cost analysis
07-compliance-matrix.md	Mapping of deployed resources to governance constraints
07-backup-dr-plan.md	Backup, restore, and DR runbooks

Drift detection

Compare the deployed resources with sku-manifest.json in both directions. Record unexpected and missing SKUs in the documentation index.

Distinguish provisioning success from application health. State which checks ran, which failed, and which were not performed. An estimate is not an invoice, and a compliance matrix is not an independent certification.

Hand-off

Review the documentation against the deployment evidence. Continue with lessons learned when the run exposed a problem worth addressing in the agents, skills, or validators.
