What problem does it solve? Modifying Azure DevOps pipeline YAML normally requires pushing changes and waiting through slow CI feedback loops. This Skill lets you validate pipeline changes locally by queueing builds, monitoring their status, and downloading logs or artifacts directly from the command line. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Queue Validation Builds: Trigger builds on any branch with custom parameters such as VSCODE_BUILD_TYPE, VSCODE_PUBLISH, or platform-specific build flags to test pipeline YAML changes quickly. - Monitor and Inspect Builds: Check build status with a watch mode, view pipeline stages and jobs, and download specific logs or artifacts for deeper investigation. - Cancel Obsolete Builds: Stop outdated builds before queueing new ones to free up build agents and reduce resource waste. - Use Case: After editing files in build/azure-pipelines/, commit and push your changes, cancel any stale build on the branch, queue a fresh CI-oriented build with publishing disabled, and watch it complete to confirm your YAML changes work. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to queue a validation build on the current branch and watch its status until it completes.
