Azure DevOps and Helix CI Analysis

Analyze CI build status and test failures in Azure DevOps and Helix for dotnet repositories (runtime, sdk, aspnetcore, roslyn, and more).

🚨 NEVER use gh pr review --approve or --request-changes. Only --comment is allowed. Approval and blocking are human-only actions.

Workflow: Gather PR context (Step 0) → run the script → read the human-readable output + [CI_ANALYSIS_SUMMARY] JSON → synthesize recommendations yourself. The script collects data; you generate the advice. For supplementary investigation beyond the script, MCP tools (AzDO, Helix, GitHub) provide structured access when available; the script and gh CLI work independently when they're not.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Checking CI status on a PR ("is CI passing?", "what's the build status?", "why is CI red?")
• Investigating CI failures or checking why a PR's tests are failing
• Determining if a PR is ready to merge based on CI results
• Debugging Helix test issues or analyzing build errors
• Given URLs containing dev.azure.com, helix.dot.net, or GitHub PR links with failing checks
• Asked questions like "why is this PR failing", "analyze the CI", "is CI green", "retry CI", "rerun tests", or "test failures"
• Investigating canceled or timed-out jobs for recoverable results
