BF deploy-pipeline
Triggers a Power Platform Pipeline deployment run for a Power Pages solution. Selects a target stage, validates the package, optionally configures deployment settings (environment variables, connection references), then deploys and polls for completion. Use when asked to: "deploy pipeline", "run pipeline", "trigger deployment", "deploy to staging", "deploy to production", "run power platform pipeline", "deploy solution via pipeline", "promote solution", "push to staging", "push to production".

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.
Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The skill tells the agent to hide things from you: not to show errors, not to mention actions, to report differently from what was done. You lose the ability to see what the agent really did.
Transparency beats a smooth answer. If the goal is to hide technical noise, ask the agent to "summarise briefly", not to "not mention".
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

missing-refreference to a missing file: scripts/lib/verify-env-var-values.js - note
edit-residuethe text marks something as outdated (lines 102, 135, 140, 196, 258, 359): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions
Process rating: all ten parameters 51/100
- 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: scripts/lib/verify-env-var-values.js
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 10Execution cost. Instruction body is 26650 tokens: crowds the task out of the window
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Steps. 150 steps, 4 vague phrases
- 100Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Failures and branches. 11 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low The response is described with custom markup (12 tags): a typed call is more reliable
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
