Does TFS Build have something like a Jenkinsfile?

I've seen some custom settings files used in combination with TFS build, but nothing native. Does Team Foundation Server or Visual Studio Team Services have a Jenkinsfile-like, declarative method for defining a build process?

The strict answer is no, in that there is no direct equivalent to a Jenkinsfile. However, there are Build Process Templates and you can use the Psake Build Automation tool in combination with templates to reduce the barriers to entry for creating a new build, test and deployment build definitions.

It is nowhere near as fluid as Jenkins' Pipelines as Code, AppVeyor's appveyor.yml, CircleCI's circleci.yml and Travis' .travis.yml. There is a wealth of information on the ALM Rangers Library of tooling and guidance solutions.
