The Bicep plan chat mode is used to create a comprehensive Markdown file containing all the information required to deploy specific services. It defines the properties of AVM modules, “raw” resources, and more. The plan is grounded through tool calls to Azure Verified Modules and Microsoft Docs, and it retrieves Bicep best practices via Bicep MCP.
The Bicep implementation chat mode is used to generate a Bicep template based on the plan, or it can be used standalone. This chat mode is designed to break down the user’s prompt into actionable tasks, generate the Bicep Infrastructure as Code, and validate the generated code using
bicep <lint/build/format/restore>commands.Type of Contribution
