| Tool | Purpose |

| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |

| azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk | Check release readiness and/or trigger the release pipeline |

Steps

  • Collect Info — Get packageName and language from the user. Optionally get branch (defaults to main).
  • Check Readiness — Run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: true to verify API review approval, changelog, package name approval, and release date.
  • If APIView approval is pending display the link or guidance to find the link if not provided.
  • Review Results — If not ready, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.
  • Trigger Release — Once ready, run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: false. Show pipeline link and inform user they must approve the release stage.

Examples

  • "Check if azure-storage-blob is ready for release"
  • "Trigger release for @azure/core-rest-pipeline on JavaScript"

Troubleshooting

  • If readiness check fails, review each failing prerequisite individually before re-triggering.
  • Requires azure-sdk-mcp server. No CLI fallback — prompt user to configure MCP if unavailable.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take azure/azsdk-common-sdk-release from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
