neo-azure-pipelines

neo-azure-pipelines is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Benknightdark/neo-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,279 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing and maintaining Azure Pipelines YAML, the configuration files that automate building, testing, and deploying software. It focuses especially on .NET, Azure App Service, and IIS or other on-premises servers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, review, debug, or modernize CI/CD pipelines, including reusable build and deployment templates.
Why use it?
It helps avoid invalid pipeline syntax and missed project, deployment, secret, or security requirements.

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

neo-azure-pipelines 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 12d 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.

Azure Pipeline Script Design Specifications

Perceive

  1. When version-specific syntax or task versions matter, verify them against https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/?view=azure-devops; if browsing is unavailable, state the uncertainty and rely on bundled templates plus project evidence.
  2. Identify the application's development language (e.g., .NET, Java, Python, Node.js) and its specific version requirements.
  3. Identify the target deployment platform (e.g., Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, Function App, or on-premises servers).
  4. Detect the project source code structure to confirm build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle, Npm, NuGet) and testing frameworks.
  5. Read security and compliance requirements, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), package vulnerability scanning, and container image scanning.
  6. Confirm environment variable requirements, secret information sources (e.g., Azure Key Vault), and Service Connection permissions.
  7. Proactively scan the skills/neo-azure-pipelines/templates/ directory to identify existing reusable template resources. Includes:
    • Build: build/build-dotnet.yml
    • Deploy: deploy/deploy-app-service.yml, deploy/deploy-iis.yml
    • Utils: util/clean-artifact.yml, util/extract-artifact.yml, util/iis/*.yml, etc.

Reason

  1. Compare documented task versions with existing configurations to determine if task versions need updating (e.g., using Checkout@v1 vs. Checkout@v4).
  2. Determine whether to adopt a multi-stage architecture based on project scale to achieve logical isolation of Build, Test, Staging, and Production.
  3. Evaluate and design build caching strategies, optimizing dependency package folders to reduce execution time.
  4. Design trigger mechanisms based on branching strategies, distinguishing trigger paths for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD).
  5. Determine the applicability of deployment strategies, such as Blue-Green, Canary, or Rolling Update.
  6. Validate conditional execution syntax (Conditions) in Pipeline logic to ensure subsequent steps only execute on specific branches or after successful prerequisites.
  7. Prioritize using templates from skills/neo-azure-pipelines/templates/ to assemble the Pipeline, rather than writing raw YAML from scratch.
    • If the project is .NET and needs deployment to IIS, combine build-dotnet.yml and deploy-iis.yml.
    • If artifact manipulation is required, prioritize using util/extract-artifact.yml.

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.
