What it does

Azure Devops is an agent skill from sanjay3290/ai-skills. Manage Azure DevOps projects, work items, repos, PRs, pipelines, wikis, test plans, security alerts, variable groups, environments/approvals, branch policies, and attachments. Use when user asks to: manage sprints, create/update work items, list repos, create PRs, run pipelines, search code, manage wiki pages, check security alerts, manage variable groups, approve deployments, or configure branch policies. Covers 13 domains with 99 tools via REST API.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `scripts/api_client.py` and `scripts/attachments.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Test generation, Deployment and REST APIs. It works with Azure DevOps. The repository describes itself as: 24 cross-platform agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & Gemini CLI — databases, messaging, research, TTS, DevOps, and Google Workspace. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

User asks to: manage sprints
Create/update work items
Manage wiki pages
Check security alerts

Example prompts

“/azure-devops”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 281d88d. 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
Ships 15 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
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:
- dev.azure.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Azure Devops loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
