Azure/sap-automation-bootstrap is a customer-configuration and wrapper-pipeline repository for running the SAP Deployment Automation Framework through Azure DevOps. It stores deployment settings and invokes implementation templates from the separate sap-automation repository. Its catalogue skills and plugin help coding agents bootstrap Azure DevOps projects and explain the available wrapper pipelines.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00541 | $0.00541 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00216 | $0.00216 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00108 | $0.00108 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
sap-automation-bootstrap copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 41 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Copilot / Claude / Gemini instructions for sap-automation-bootstrap
This repository ships the azure-sap-automation-devops plugin — the Azure DevOps
surface node of the SDAF cross-agent skills graph. It is installed by an
operator only after the Azure/sap-automation hub plugin has directed them
here. It does not install the hub, and it does not duplicate any hub
skill.
What the plugin ships
Two skills under skills/ (real directories; no symlinks, no mirror script):
sdaf-ado-project-bootstrap— action-loop skill that drives the documentedNew-SDAFUserAssignedIdentity+New-SDAFADOProject+New-SDAFADOWorkloadZonepath fromdocs/02-00-bootstrap.md,docs/02-10-configure-devops-project.md, anddocs/02-20-configure-workload-zone-artifacts.md.sdaf-ado-pipeline-catalogue— context-primer skill covering the 13 pipeline wrappers inpipelines/, their documented parameters and preconditions, the variable groups they read, and the documented20/21/22level-up path (docs/pipeline-reference.md,docs/07-00-operations.md).
Ground rules
- Documented-only. Skills teach only what this repository's
docs/already documents. Undocumented behaviour reconstructed from source is out of scope — flag the gap, do not invent the procedure. - No production code changes. Skills describe and drive existing SDAF behaviour; they never modify pipelines, PowerShell utilities, playbooks, or Terraform.
- Two skills, disjoint triggers. "Set up SDAF on ADO" / "onboard a
workload zone" →
sdaf-ado-project-bootstrap. "What does pipeline N do" / "which variable group does N read" / "level up" → catalogue. - This plugin is a surface node. It does not orient the operator across surfaces; that is the hub plugin's job. When an operator has not decided between Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, refer them back to the hub.
- Never install another plugin from these skills. There is no runtime dependency and no auto-install machinery in this repo.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
