Azure Pipelines Validator
This validates Azure Pipelines YAML files locally before you push or merge. It checks syntax, security issues like hardcoded secrets or insecure commands, and best practices like missing display names or unpinned task versions. The script runs offline first and only hits docs when it can't resolve something locally, which is smart if you're in a locked-down environment or just want fast feedback. Reports come back in severity buckets: blocking, warning, info, skipped. It won't generate pipelines for you, just catch problems in existing ones. Good for CI gates or pre-commit hooks when you want deterministic validation without round-tripping to Azure DevOps.

Azure Pipelines Validator
Use this skill to validate Azure DevOps pipeline YAML (azure-pipelines.yml / azure-pipelines.yaml) with local scripts first, then escalate to docs only when local output is not enough.
Trigger Phrases
Use this skill when the user asks things like:
- "Validate my
azure-pipelines.yml." - "Why is this Azure pipeline YAML failing?"
- "Run a security scan on this Azure DevOps pipeline."
- "Check this pipeline for best-practice issues."
- "Review this pipeline in CI before merge."
Do not use this skill for pipeline generation from scratch. Use azure-pipelines-generator for that.
Deterministic Path Setup (No Ambiguity)
Run from any directory using explicit absolute paths:
REPO_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)"
SKILL_DIR="$REPO_ROOT/devops-skills-plugin/skills/azure-pipelines-validator"
PIPELINE_FILE="$REPO_ROOT/azure-pipelines.yml"
If REPO_ROOT is empty, stop and ask for the repository root path. Do not guess paths.
Validate one file:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/validate_azure_pipelines.sh" "$PIPELINE_FILE"
Auto-detect from current directory (up to depth 3):
