wiki-ado-convertPurpose, usage and source
Converts VitePress/GFM wiki markdown to Azure DevOps Wiki-compatible format. Generates a Node.js build script that transforms Mermaid syntax, strips front matter, fixes links, and outputs ADO-compatible copies to dist/ado-wiki/.

Workflow excerpts are reading aids, not executable instructions from Codez. No third-party Skill was run to produce this page.
The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Converts VitePress/GFM wiki markdown to Azure DevOps Wiki-compatible format. Generates a Node.js build script that transforms Mermaid syntax, strips front matter, fixes links, and outputs ADO-compatible copies to dist/ado-wiki/.
How the upstream workflow works
ADO Wiki Converter
Generate a Node.js build script that transforms VitePress/GFM markdown documentation into Azure DevOps Wiki-compatible format. The source files remain untouched — the script produces transformed copies in dist/ado-wiki/.
Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)
Before generating the build script, resolve the source repository context: Check for git remote: Run git remote get-url origin
Why This Is Needed
Azure DevOps Wikis use a markdown dialect that differs from GFM and VitePress in several critical ways. Documentation that renders perfectly in VitePress will have broken diagrams, raw front matter, dead links, and rendering issues when published as an ADO Wiki.
Upstream passage · L24 ↗function stripFrontMatter(content) {
if (!content.startsWith('---')) return content;
const endIndex = content.indexOf('\n---', 3);
if (endIndex === -1) return content;
let rest = content.slice(endIndex + 4);
if (rest.startsWith('\n')) rest = rest.slice(1);
return rest;
}Requirements and setup
NOT AN ISSUE (Compatible As-Is)
✅ Standard markdown tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules ✅ Unicode emoji, fenced code blocks with language identifiers
Upstream passage · L51 ↗Limits and quality checks
Important Notes
Source files are NEVER modified — only copies in dist/ado-wiki/ Images must be copied too — if source has images, copy them with same relative paths
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
