What it does

Add Azuredevops is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Adds Azure DevOps connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when querying work items, creating bugs, managing pipelines, or making ADO API calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory. It works with Azure DevOps and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: A plugin marketplace for GitHub Copilot and other AI agents that provides Power Platform development plugins, including reusable skills, agents, and commands for building and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, LSP, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet, AskUserQuestion, Skill

Workflow steps

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

Check Memory Bank
Add Connector
Apply HttpRequest Fix (Required)
Configure
Build
Update Memory Bank

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d044b8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Edit
- Write
- Grep
- Glob
- Bash
- LSP
- TaskCreate
- TaskUpdate
- TaskList
…and 3 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- make.powerapps.com
- dev.azure.com
Also links to:
- learn.microsoft.com
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

Add Azuredevops loads about 931 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~931

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.

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.

Add Azure DevOps

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Apply HttpRequest Fix → 4. Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Azure DevOps connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

bash

pa app add data-source --connector azuredevops -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Apply HttpRequest Fix (Required)

The generated code has a known issue: the HttpRequest method uses parameters as the parameter name, but the API expects body. Rename parameters to body in these 3 files:

Use the Edit tool to rename parameters to body in each file:

1. src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts: Find the HttpRequest method. Rename the parameter and its usage:

typescript

// BEFORE (generated):
async HttpRequest(parameters: any) {
  const params = { parameters: parameters, ... };

// AFTER (fixed):
async HttpRequest(body: any) {
  const params = { body: body, ... };

2. .power/appschemas/dataSourceInfo.ts: Find the visualstudioteamservices → HttpRequest → parameters section. Rename the property key:

typescript

// BEFORE (generated):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    parameters: { ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    body: { ... }

3. .power/schemas/visualstudioteamservices/visualstudioteamservices.Schema.json: Find the /{connectionId}/httprequest → post → parameters array. Change the name field:

json

// BEFORE (generated):
{ "name": "parameters", "in": "body", ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
{ "name": "body", "in": "body", ... }

Step 4: Configure

Ask the user what Azure DevOps operations they need (query work items, create items, trigger pipelines, etc.).

HttpRequest -- make arbitrary ADO REST API calls:

typescript

await AzureDevOpsService.HttpRequest({
  Uri: "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.2",
  Method: "POST",
  Body: JSON.stringify({
    query:
      "SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project"
  })
});

Docs: Azure DevOps REST API

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).

Step 5: Build

bash

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, HttpRequest fix applied, build status.
