1Pipelines Build SummaryPipeline build summary is a Microsoft Azure DevOps agent skill for solo builders and small teams who already run YAML or classic pipelines in Azure DevOps and need fast answers when CI goes red. It encodes a consistent project and pipeline selection ritual: honor a user-supplied project name without listing everything, ask once when context is missing, then fall back to core_list_projects or definition listing so the agent never loops on clarification. From there it maps natural requests—recent builds for a definition, deep dive on one build, log excerpts for failed steps, and change lists tied to a build—to the correct MCP tools. The skill is intentionally operational, not a pipeline authoring guide; it shines when you are shipping or unblocking a PR and need structured retrieval instead of clicking through the web UI. Pair it with an Azure DevOps MCP server configured for your org. Prism tags it under Ship → testing because build health is the gate before launch-ready artifacts.42installs2Boards My WorkBoards My Work is an agent skill that turns “what am I assigned?” into a concrete Azure DevOps snapshot without leaving your coding agent. It encodes the guardrails Microsoft expects: respect an inline project name, otherwise ask the human, and only then list projects through the MCP server. After the project is fixed, it chains wit_my_work_items with batch detail retrieval so IDs become titles, states, and links you can click from the rendered table. Solo builders and tiny teams use it at the start of a build block to reprioritize bugs, tasks, and stories by recent activity rather than scrolling Boards in the browser. The skill is intentionally narrow—no sprint planning rewrite, no work item creation—just read-only visibility for the current user. It assumes the Azure DevOps MCP Server is available to your agent with credentials that can read work items in the chosen project.35installs3Boards Work Item Summaryboards-work-item-summary is an agent skill for solo and indie builders who live in Azure DevOps Boards and want a readable rollup of one ticket without clicking through relations and comments. You supply a numeric work item ID (or the skill asks once); it calls wit_get_work_item with expand=all, gathers parent and relation-linked IDs, loads those items in batch, and attaches wit_list_work_item_comments so standup prep and scope checks stay inside the coding agent. It fits small teams on the same process: one ID in, structured summary out. Pair it with your Azure DevOps MCP server configuration; it does not replace sprint planning or bulk board queries—it optimizes the single-ticket deep read during build and operate handoffs.34installs4Work Iterationswork-iterations is an agent skill that wires your assistant to Azure DevOps through the Azure DevOps MCP server so you can manage iterations without leaving the repo. Solo builders and tiny teams shipping on Azure Boards use it when they need to see existing sprints, spin up new iteration paths at the project level, or attach those iterations to a specific team for assignment. The skill encodes a strict context model: every action needs a project; team-scoped steps such as assignment require an explicit team or a single clarification plus core_list_project_teams. That reduces accidental cross-project changes when you are multitasking. It is aimed at builders who already use MCP for DevOps and want repeatable, tool-driven sprint setup instead of clicking through the portal. Pair it with backlog and work-item skills in the same azure-devops-skills pack for end-to-end planning.32installs5Security Alert ReviewSecurity alert review is an agent skill for solo builders and small teams who store code in Azure DevOps and need a structured way to see what Advanced Security is flagging before merge or deploy. It walks the agent through choosing the right project and repository—asking once, then falling back to listing projects or repos when names are missing. Once scoped, it queries alerts covering dependency vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, and static code findings with optional severity and state filters. That makes it useful during Ship when you are clearing blockers for a release, and again in Operate when you are responding to new scanner results. It assumes the Azure DevOps MCP server is available and that Advanced Security is enabled for the repo. The output is an actionable alert inventory you can prioritize, assign, or cross-check against your fix backlog rather than clicking through multiple DevOps blades manually.29installs6Skill Nameskill-name is a placeholder agent skill from Microsoft's azure-devops-skills repository: frontmatter plus a single “Skill Instructions” section waiting for real content. Solo builders install it only as a copy-paste starting point when they add their own skill beside Microsoft's pack—not as a finished Azure DevOps or CI/CD assistant. Prism lists it so you can spot template noise versus production-ready skills before you wire agents to pipelines. Replace the generic description, add triggers in invokeWhen-style prose, and fold in Azure-specific examples (boards, repos, pipelines) in your fork. Until you do, expect no deliverables beyond an empty instruction shell and treat confidence accordingly when searching for actionable DevOps automation.27installs
