Use this skill when the user asks to create, review, debug, or modernize Azure Pipelines YAML for CI/CD, especially .NET builds, Azure App Service deploys, or IIS/on-premises deploys. Prefer bundled templates and verify task syntax against Microsoft docs when version-specific accuracy matters.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Azure Pipeline Script Design Specifications
## Perceive
1. When version-specific syntax or task versions matter, verify them against `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/?view=azure-devops`; if browsing is unavailable, state the uncertainty and rely on bundled templates plus project evidence.
2. Identify the application's development language (e.g., .NET, Java, Python, Node.js) and its specific version requirements.
3. Identify the target deployment platform (e.g., Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service, Function App, or on-premises servers).
4. Detect the project source code structure to confirm build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle, Npm, NuGet) and testing frameworks.
5. Read security and compliance requirements, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), package vulnerability scanning, and container image scanning.
6. Confirm environment variable requirements, secret information sources (e.g., Azure Key Vault), and Service Connection permissions.
7. **Proactively scan the `skills/neo-azure-pipelines/templates/` directory to identify existing reusable template resources. Includes:**
* **Build**: `build/build-dotnet.yml`

How to install
mdr add benknightdark/neo-skills/neo-azure-pipelines@sha256:47df5efbb3912bccThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
