Description
azure-pipelines is an agent skill from the Microsoft VS Code repository, listed on skills.sh. It validates changes to the Azure DevOps pipeline files for the VS Code build, which are YAML files under build/azure-pipelines. Instead of pushing a change, waiting for CI and checking the result, the skill uses the Azure CLI to queue builds locally, check build status, view logs and iterate on the pipeline before committing. It begins by checking whether the Azure CLI is installed and gives install commands for macOS with Homebrew and Windows with winget. It applies when a developer is modifying the VS Code build pipelines and wants faster feedback. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…
