azldev-overlays From the maker
microsoft/azurelinuxSkill
Read this before adding, changing, or diagnosing any overlay; never edit a spec or rendered file from memory. Explains how to modify a component's RPM spec or loose source files with azldev overlays (semantic patches applied at render time) instead of forking the spec, covering overlay types, the render-and-inspect loop, common failures, pitfalls, and metadata. Triggers include overlay, overlay failed, no match, spec-add-tag, spec-remove-tag, patch-add, fix spec, backport, disable test, prune subpackage, edit spec.
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 5,355 stars are split between them (about 536 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 77/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 299b8ae77608, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
