microsoft/analyze-skill-issues
Query the integration-test storage account to find why a specific skill's tests are failing. Reads blob-stored test result files and surfaces error details. TRIGGERS: why is skill failing, skill test failures, debug skill tests, skill failing tests, analyze skill failures, why are tests failing for skill, skill test errors, investigate skill issues. DO NOT USE FOR: analyzing a GitHub Actions run report or comparing test runs across runs (use analyze-test-run).

Queries the strdashboarddevveobvk Azure Storage account that stores all integration test results and retrieves error details for a given skill.
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Storage account | strdashboarddevveobvk |
| Container | integration-reports |
| Blob path pattern | {date}/{run_id}/{skill_name}/{test_name}/]<file> — see [Blob Path Layout |
| Blob discovery | mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_get — list blobs to find the right paths |
| Blob content download | az storage blob download ... --file "$env:TEMP\<filename>" — local path reported in summary |
| Best for | Diagnosing why a skill's integration tests are failing |
> TOOL USAGE — MANDATORY: Use mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_get to enumerate and identify the correct blob paths. Then use az storage blob download to download and read the content of those blobs. These tools serve different purposes and are both always required — they are not alternatives.
Resolve the user's skill name to its canonical directory name using the Skill Name Mapping.
MCP tools are used exclusively for blob discovery — finding which blob paths exist. All calls require account: "strdashboarddevveobvk" and container: "integration-reports". Use az storage blob download (see Phase 2) to read blob content.
| Tool | Purpose | Key parameters |
|------|---------|----------------|
| mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_get | List blob names and metadata (does not return file content) | account, container; omit blob to list all |
| mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_container_get | Verify the container exists | account, container |
Every response MUST include all of the following. Do not omit any item:
vscode://file/ link> ⚠️ MANDATORY: The Referenced Files section is not optional. Always resolve $env:TEMP to the actual path (run echo $env:TEMP) and include a clickable link for every file downloaded. If this section is missing from your response, the output is incomplete.
> TOOL RESPONSIBILITIES: mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_get is used exclusively for blob discovery (listing available paths). az storage blob download is used exclusively for reading blob content. Both are always required.
mcp_azure_mcp_storage_blob_get({ account: "strdashboarddevveobvk", container: "integration-reports" })
This returns a flat list of all blob names. Filter for entries that:
yyyy-mm-dd within the last 7 days/{skill_name}/ in the pathtoken-usage.json or agent-metadata.jsonFor each matching blob path identified in Phase 1, download it to a local temp file and read its content:
az storage blob download --account-name strdashboarddevveobvk --container-name integration-reports `
--name "<full-blob-path>" --file "$env:TEMP\<filename>" --auth-mode login --no-progress
Use just the last path segment as <filename>.
> ⚠️ REQUIRED: After each download, immediately append the resolved local path to your working list of referenced files. Run echo $env:TEMP once to resolve the actual temp directory. Every downloaded file must appear in the Referenced Files section of your final response — this is not optional.
Priority order for files to read (most useful first):
*.json files that are NOT token-usage.json or agent-metadata.json — these contain test pass/fail results and error messages*-SKILL-REPORT.md or *report*.json files — contain skill invocation details and test narrativesjunit.xml blobs if present — contain structured test failure messagesFor each test result file, extract:
Look specifically for fields such as:
"status": "failed" or "passed": false"error", "errorMessage", "failureMessage", "message" JSON keys<failure> or <error> XML elements in JUnit formatError: or FAIL prefixed lines in text reportsPresent the findings grouped by test name:
## Failures for <skill-name> — <date> (Run: <run_id>)
### <test-name>
- **Status:** failed
- **Error:** <error message>
- **Detail:** <stack trace or additional context, truncated to ~10 lines>
### <test-name-2>
...
At the end of the summary, include a Referenced Files section listing every file that was downloaded as a clickable VS Code link. Resolve $env:TEMP to the actual Windows temp path (e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp) and format each entry as a markdown link using the vscode://file/ URI scheme with forward slashes:
## Referenced Files
- [<filename1>](vscode://file/C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Temp/<filename1>)
- [<filename2>](vscode://file/C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Temp/<filename2>)
- ...
To resolve the actual temp path, run echo $env:TEMP in the terminal before constructing the links.
Include:
Date iteration rule: Process the most recent date first. Only proceed to the next date if the current date yields zero failures. Stop as soon as failures are found — do not process all 3 dates if the first one has results.
See Blob Path Layout for the full container tree structure.
| Error | Cause | Remediation |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| No blobs found for skill | Skill has not run tests recently, or name is wrong | Verify skill name using the mapping table; tests run Tue–Sat on a schedule |
| Blob list is empty | Container access issue or wrong account | Confirm account: "strdashboarddevveobvk" and that the user has Azure CLI credentials |
| Blob content not readable | File is binary or corrupted | Skip that blob and try adjacent blobs for the same test |
| All tests show as skipped | The skill's test schedule hasn't run yet today | Check tests/skills.json for the skill's schedule and check a prior day's date prefix |
| token-usage.json / agent-metadata.json only | Correct path but no result files | The test run may have crashed before writing results; check the run ID in GitHub Actions |
Take microsoft/analyze-skill-issues from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
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.
