azure-devops-automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to automating software delivery and infrastructure for applications running on Microsoft Azure. It covers Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and infrastructure as code, where cloud setup is stored and managed like source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design build-and-release pipelines, manage Azure infrastructure from Git, run tests during delivery, and automate deployments and monitoring.
Why use it?
It reduces manual deployment steps, configuration mistakes, and delays between writing code and running it in Azure.

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-devops-automation scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Overview

DevOps automation bridges development and operations, enabling rapid, reliable deployments. This skill covers Azure DevOps Services, GitHub Actions, and infrastructure as code patterns.

Core Principles

Principle Meaning
Automate everything Manual steps = errors and delays
Version everything Code, config, infrastructure—all in Git
Test continuously Feedback at every stage
Deploy frequently Small batches, fast recovery
Monitor always Know before users complain

Pipeline Anatomy

# Azure DevOps YAML Pipeline
trigger:
  branches:
    include:
      - main
      - release/*

stages:
  - stage: Build
    jobs:
      - job: BuildJob
        steps:
          - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
            inputs:
              command: 'build'
              
  - stage: Test
    dependsOn: Build
    jobs:
      - job: TestJob
        steps:
          - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
            inputs:
              command: 'test'
              
  - stage: Deploy
    dependsOn: Test
    condition: succeeded()
    jobs:
      - deployment: DeployToDev
        environment: 'dev'

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.
