Analyze vcpkg Azure DevOps CI failures. Downloads logs, identifies regression root causes, generates a report by package and triplet. USE FOR: CI failure analysis, regression triage, log diagnosis. DO NOT USE FOR: general coding, creating ports, modifying portfiles. **UTILITY SKILL** INVOKES: Azure DevOps REST API, PowerShell.
Audit a vcpkg port locally. Reads the port metadata and build recipe, installs the port, inspects extracted sources and installed files, and produces a report covering license risks, vendored code, optional dependencies, and other port review suggestions.
Review open non-draft microsoft/vcpkg pull requests updated in the last 30 days. Use when asked for batch triage, per-PR review reports, an index grouped by verdict, or grouping competing PRs that modify the same port.

| name | review-vcpkg-pr |
| description | Review a microsoft/vcpkg pull request end-to-end. |
| Input | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
pr | Yes | Pull request number to review. Substituted for {{PR_NUMBER}} throughout this skill and the shared guide. |
investigation-root | No | Preferred directory for large temporary work such as detached worktrees, extracted archives, build trees, example builds, installs, caches, and other investigation artifacts. Final review deliverables are not investigation artifacts and must still be written under reviews/ in the caller's current directory. When omitted, infer a short same-drive investigations location if that is clear; otherwise ask the user. Do not use the Copilot session directory or an arbitrary long temp path. |
review-depth | No | One of no-examples, examples, or examples-and-patches. Default to no-examples. |
/review-vcpkg-pr 12345/review-vcpkg-pr 12345 investigation-root D:/vcpkg-prsCheck out the PR in a detached worktree or equivalent detached-HEAD workspace, and copy vcpkg.exe (Windows) or vcpkg (non-Windows) into it. For example, after git worktree add D:\vcpkg2 origin/master, copy .\vcpkg.exe to D:\vcpkg2. Do not switch branches or run mutable review steps in the caller's current working tree. Then apply the review process as described in .github/skills/shared/review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md.
Be sure to read all of .github/skills/shared/review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md
Write all final deliverables under reviews/pr-{{PR_NUMBER}} in the caller's current directory, not under investigation-root. Find out what these mean from review-vcpkg-pr-guide.md.
