SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Azure SDK CI/CD pipeline failures produce raw logs and test artifacts that are hard to interpret. This Skill turns that raw failure data into a structured diagnosis with root cause, affected files and lines, and concrete fix instructions for each failure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Failure Diagnosis: Categorizes each pipeline failure as test, build/compilation, validation/lint, or infrastructure, citing exact file:line locations.
  • Lazy Failure Detail Fetching: Retrieves failed test run or test case data per artifact file to avoid overloading context.
  • Cascading Failure Detection: Groups failures sharing a single root cause instead of listing each individually.
  • Use Case: A developer comments on a PR asking why the CI build broke; the Skill analyzes the pipeline via the azure-sdk-mcp server and returns a markdown report with root cause, per-failure fixes, verify commands, and a fixable-vs-infrastructure summary.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to analyze your failing Azure SDK pipeline by providing the build ID, pipeline URL, or PR link, for example: analyze why pipeline build 6447834 failed.

Frequently Asked Questions about azsdk-common-pipeline-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a failing Azure SDK pipeline build?▼

Provide the build ID, pipeline URL, or PR link and run the azsdk_analyze_pipeline tool from the azure-sdk-mcp server. It returns failed tasks and a failed test index, which this Skill categorizes and formats into a root-cause diagnosis.

What tool analyzes CI test failures in Azure DevOps pipelines?▼

The azsdk_analyze_pipeline tool on the azure-sdk-mcp server analyzes pipeline failures using logs and test results. Companion tools like azsdk_get_failed_test_run_data fetch full failure details per artifact file.

Does this Skill fix pipeline failures automatically?▼

No, it is analysis-only and never edits files. It reports the root cause, affected file:line, and fix instructions, then recommends the azsdk-common-pipeline-fixer skill to apply code fixes.

Can I analyze a pipeline failure from a GitHub PR comment?▼

Yes, when triggered from a PR comment, provide the PR link and the Skill uses azsdk_get_pr_checks and azsdk_analyze_pipeline to diagnose the failing checks linked to that PR.

Why does pipeline analysis return no failed test data?▼

This happens when the build ID is wrong, the run has not completed, or test-artifact upload is not configured. In that case the Skill relies on failed task log analysis instead of test artifacts.

When should I retry a pipeline instead of fixing code?▼

Retry when failures are infrastructure-related, such as DNS errors, HTTP 429 throttling, agent disconnects, package download timeouts, or SSL errors. The Skill marks these as infrastructure failures rather than code-fixable issues.
