What it does
Azsdk Common SDK Release is an agent skill from Azure/azure-sdk-for-android, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Check release readiness and trigger the release pipeline for Azure SDK packages. UTILITY SKILL. USE FOR: "release SDK", "trigger release", "check release readiness", "release pipeline", "publish package", "ship SDK". DO NOT USE FOR: SDK development, code generation, pipeline debugging, release plan creation. INVOKES: azure-sdk-mcp:azsdkreleasesdk.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `evals/eval.yaml` and `evals/trigger.eval.yaml`). Compatibility notes: azure-sdk-mcp server, SDK package merged on release branch. Supports .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Feature launches and release readiness and MCP servers. It works with Microsoft Azure, Model Context Protocol and Azure Blob Storage. The repository describes itself as: Android client SDKs for Microsoft Azure. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The release pipeline for Azure SDK packages
- Trigger release
- Check release readiness
- Release pipeline
Example prompts
- “release SDK”
- “trigger release”
- “check release readiness”
- “/azsdk-common-sdk-release”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): azure-sdk-mcp server, SDK package merged on release branch. Supports .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Collect Info — Get packageName and language from the user. Optionally get branch (defaults to main).
- Check Readiness — Run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: true to verify API review approval, changelog, package name…
- Review Results — If not ready, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.
- Trigger Release — Once ready, run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: false. Show pipeline link and inform user they must…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ff8a7b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
azure-sdk-mcp server, SDK package merged on release branch. Supports .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Azsdk Common SDK Release loads about 478 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 144 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Steps
- Collect Info — Get
packageNameandlanguagefrom the user. Optionally getbranch(defaults to main). - Check Readiness — Run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: trueto verify API review approval, changelog, package name approval, and release date.
- If APIView approval is pending display the link or guidance to find the link if not provided.
- Review Results — If not ready, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.
- Trigger Release — Once ready, run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: false. Show pipeline link and inform user they must approve the release stage.
Examples
- "Check if azure-storage-blob is ready for release"
- "Trigger release for @azure/core-rest-pipeline on JavaScript"
Troubleshooting
- If readiness check fails, review each failing prerequisite individually before re-triggering.
- Requires
azure-sdk-mcpserver. No CLI fallback — prompt user to configure MCP if unavailable.
