azure-pipelines-generator

azure-pipelines-generator is a skill for Claude Code from akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,669 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for generating Azure DevOps pipeline YAML. Azure Pipelines runs automated build, test, and deployment steps defined in files such as azure-pipelines.yml.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or redesign Azure Pipelines files, stages, jobs, steps, or reusable templates for applications and deployment workflows.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for choosing the pipeline shape, loading relevant guidance, writing the YAML, and checking the result.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-pipelines-generator 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/test_template_regressions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Azure Pipelines Generator

Generate production-ready Azure DevOps pipeline YAML with deterministic steps, explicit fallbacks, and clear completion criteria.

Trigger Guidance

Use this skill when the user asks to generate or redesign Azure Pipelines YAML, for example:

  • "Create azure-pipelines.yml for my Node service."
  • "Build a multi-stage Azure DevOps pipeline with staging and production."
  • "Generate Azure pipeline templates for reuse across repos."
  • "Convert this CI flow to Azure Pipelines."

Do not use this skill for validation-only requests. For validation-only work, use azure-pipelines-validator.

Execution Model

Normative keywords:

  • MUST: required
  • SHOULD: default unless user asks otherwise
  • MAY: optional

Deterministic sequence:

  1. Classify request mode.
  2. Capture minimum required inputs.
  3. Load minimum references (progressive disclosure).
  4. Generate YAML using the quality checklist.
  5. Validate (validator skill, script fallback, or manual fallback).
  6. Return output in the required report format.

If a step cannot run due to environment limits, use the fallback in that step and continue.

1) Classify Request Mode

Choose exactly one primary mode:

  • Basic CI: build/test/lint for one stack.
  • Multi-stage CI/CD: build -> test -> deploy with environment tracking.
  • Docker: image build/push and optional deploy.
  • Kubernetes: image build/push plus Kubernetes deployment.
  • Language-specific: .NET, Node.js, Python, Go, Java focused.
  • Template-based: reusable templates plus thin root pipeline.
  • Snippet-only: partial YAML requested, not full pipeline.

Mode-to-example mapping:

  • Basic CI -> examples/basic-ci.yml
  • Multi-stage CI/CD -> examples/multi-stage-cicd.yml
  • .NET -> examples/dotnet-cicd.yml
  • Python -> examples/python-cicd.yml
  • Go -> examples/go-cicd.yml
  • Kubernetes -> examples/kubernetes-deploy.yml
  • Template-based -> examples/template-usage.yml + examples/templates/*.yml

2) Capture Required Inputs

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.
