Azure Pipelines Validator is an agent skill from akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills. Validate, lint, audit, or review azure-pipelines.yml — syntax, security, best practices.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `docs/azure-pipelines-reference.md`, `examples/basic-pipeline.yml` and `examples/deployment-pipeline.yml`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud. It works with Azure DevOps. The repository describes itself as: DevOps skills for Claude Code and Codex. The licence is Apache-2.0.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 276af75. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashgitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure Pipelines Validator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 521 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This skill also uses 21 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Use this skill to validate Azure DevOps pipeline YAML (azure-pipelines.yml / azure-pipelines.yaml) with local scripts first, then escalate to docs only when local output is not enough.
Use this skill when the user asks things like:
azure-pipelines.yml."Do not use this skill for pipeline generation from scratch. Use azure-pipelines-generator for that.

Use this matrix when tools are unavailable:
Condition: yamllint unavailable.
Action: Continue with syntax/best-practice/security checks.
Report note: "YAML lint skipped because yamllint is unavailable."
Condition: python3 unavailable or venv/dependency setup fails.
Action: Mark scripted validation blocked; perform manual YAML review only if requested.
Report note: "Local scripted validation blocked by missing Python runtime/dependencies."
Condition: No network while dependencies/docs are needed.
Action: Run whatever local checks are still possible; defer doc/version verification.
Report note: "External verification deferred due offline environment."
Condition: Multiple auto-detected pipeline files.
Action: Do not pick arbitrarily; require explicit target file path.
Report note: "Validation paused until a single target file is specified."

Validate, lint, audit, or review azure-pipelines.yml — syntax, security, best practices. Azure Pipelines Validator is an agent skill from akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills.yml — syntax, security, best practices.
Azure Pipelines Validator fits situations like: devOps & Cloud work in your project.
Run `npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill azure-pipelines-validator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (devops-skills-plugin/skills/azure-pipelines-validator in akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills) into .claude/skills/azure-pipelines-validator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill azure-pipelines-validator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (devops-skills-plugin/skills/azure-pipelines-validator in akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills) into .agents/skills/azure-pipelines-validator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add akin-ozer/cc-devops-skills --skill azure-pipelines-validator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/azure-pipelines-validator, .gemini/skills/azure-pipelines-validator, .github/skills/azure-pipelines-validator and .opencode/skills/azure-pipelines-validator in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure Pipelines Validator needs Python and a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (bash and git). Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Azure Pipelines Validator is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Azure Pipelines Validator: Azure Pipelines Log Downloader (ansible/ansible, 71k stars), ONNX Runtime CI Management (microsoft/onnxruntime, 22k stars), Megalinter Check (nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint, 248 stars) and Operate Pi Dispatch (edgehero/pi-dispatch, 179 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
