Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.01669 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00668 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00334 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00167 |
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 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 — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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.ymlfor 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: requiredSHOULD: default unless user asks otherwiseMAY: optional
Deterministic sequence:
- Classify request mode.
- Capture minimum required inputs.
- Load minimum references (progressive disclosure).
- Generate YAML using the quality checklist.
- Validate (validator skill, script fallback, or manual fallback).
- 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

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.

azure-pipelines-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills (332 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,669 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
