Practical insights on Platform Engineering, Azure, GitHub, Terraform, and AI-powered delivery
If you are building GitHub Copilot agent skills, creating them is usually the easy part. Sharing them across repositories without drift is where things get messy. In this post, I look at using APM to package skills, agents, and MCP configuration in a way that is reusable, focused, and much easier to manage across teams.

The future of Infrastructure as Code isn’t about writing more Terraform. It’s about teaching agents how your platform works, letting AI handle the repetitive parts, and spending more time reviewing intent instead of syntax. Here’s how agent skills, MCP servers, and natural language workflows are quietly reshaping IaC.

Within your GitHub Actions, you may be running a lot of workflows continuously during a merge to the main branch – a way to mitigate the possibility of them always running is to implement path filters. What are path filters? Path filters in GitHub Actions allow you specify when the workflow/action runs essentially, it helps … Read more
In this blog post, I will show how you can deploy your MkDocs to GitHub Pages with GitHub Actions. What is MKDocs? MKDocs is a great little tool for creating a static site, used commonly to store repository documentation, drawings, some examples etc! MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that’s geared towards building project documentation. … Read more
