What it does

Triaging Pipelines is an agent skill from dotnet/docker-tools, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Triage recent Azure Pipelines runs and failures.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with Azure DevOps. The repository describes itself as: This is a repo to house some common tools for our various docker repos. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/triaging-pipelines”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. List recent builds
  2. Investigate failures
  3. Correlate failures with recent pull requests and issues

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fa471a5. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • pwsh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

Context cost

Triaging Pipelines loads about 248 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~248

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.

Workflow

Step 1: List recent builds
shell
pwsh ./eng/docker-tools/skill-helpers/Get-RecentBuilds.ps1 -Organization dnceng -Project internal -Folder dotnet/docker-tools -Hours 24

Change the value of -Hours to list more or fewer builds.

Step 2: Investigate failures

For any build whose state is failed, partiallySucceeded, or canceled, use the investigating-pipeline skill to view the build timeline and read failing task logs.

Step 3: Correlate failures with recent pull requests and issues

To check recent issues, run gh issue list --state all. To check recent pull requests, run gh pr list --state all. Read the contents of issues and pull requests using the gh CLI if necessary.

Look for:

  • A recent change that obviously caused the failure
  • An existing known issue tracking this failure
  • An open pull request that already addresses the failure
