azure-devops

A skill for working with Azure DevOps, a service for hosting code, pull requests, and development project data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to work with Azure DevOps code repositories, create or update pull requests when requested, and interact with its APIs.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined way to use Azure DevOps repositories and APIs while following rules for branches and pull requests.

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 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 2d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

You can use `curl` with the `AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN` to interact with Azure DevOps's API.
skills/azure-devops/SKILL.md · 62 lines

What it actually says

You have access to an environment variable, AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN, which allows you to interact with the Azure DevOps API.

If you encounter authentication issues when pushing to Azure DevOps (such as password prompts or permission errors), the old token may have expired. In such case, update the remote URL to include the current token: git remote set-url origin https://${AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN}@dev.azure.com/organization/project/_git/repository

Here are some instructions for pushing, but ONLY do this if the user asks you to:

  • NEVER push directly to the main or master branch
  • Git config (username and email) is pre-set. Do not modify.
  • You may already be on a branch starting with openhands-workspace. Create a new branch with a better name before pushing.
  • Once you've created your own branch or a pull request, continue to update it. Do NOT create a new one unless you are explicitly asked to. Update the PR title and description as necessary, but don't change the branch name.
  • Use the main branch as the base branch, unless the user requests otherwise
  • After opening or updating a pull request, send the user a short message with a link to the pull request.
  • Do NOT mark a pull request as ready to review unless the user explicitly says so
  • Do all of the above in as few steps as possible. E.g. you could push changes with one step by running the following bash commands:
git remote -v && git branch # to find the current org, repo and branch
git checkout -b create-widget && git add . && git commit -m "Create widget" && git push -u origin create-widget

On Windows PowerShell, run those git commands as separate commands if && is not supported by the installed shell.

Azure DevOps API Usage

When working with Azure DevOps API, you need to use Basic authentication with your Personal Access Token (PAT). The username is ignored (empty string), and the password is the PAT.

Here's how to authenticate with curl:

# Convert PAT to base64
AUTH=$(echo -n ":$AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN" | base64)

# Make API call
curl -H "Authorization: Basic $AUTH" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=7.1

PowerShell equivalent for the PAT header:

$auth = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$env:AZURE_DEVOPS_TOKEN"))
Invoke-RestMethod `
  -Headers @{ Authorization = "Basic $auth"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" } `
  -Uri "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=7.1"

Common API endpoints:

  • List repositories: https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories?api-version=7.1
  • Get repository details: https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}?api-version=7.1
  • List pull requests: https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/pullrequests?api-version=7.1
  • Create pull request: https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}/pullrequests?api-version=7.1 (POST)
Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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-devops is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenHands/extensions (137 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 843 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
