How does it know which project to assign a spec to?

It uses an intelligent detection engine that analyzes keywords, file patterns, and explicit mentions within your specification content to calculate a confidence score for each project. If the confidence is below 0.7, it will prompt the user for confirmation.

Does it support Azure DevOps Area Paths?

Absolutely. It supports three main architectures: project-per-team, area-path-based (ideal for monoliths), and team-based organizations.

What happens if a single increment spans multiple projects?

The skill intelligently splits the unified task list and creates individual work items in their respective projects, automatically linking them together as primary and linked items for full traceability.

Can I manually override the project mapping?

Yes, you can define manual mapping rules in a config.json file using regex patterns, or you can manually select the correct project when the tool detects an ambiguous match.

Collaboration Tools

Organizes development specifications and synchronizes tasks across complex multi-project Azure DevOps architectures.

About

The Azure DevOps Multi-Project skill for Specweave simplifies management for large-scale engineering organizations by intelligently mapping requirements and specifications to the correct projects, area paths, or teams. It automatically detects project boundaries using keyword analysis, splits tasks across service boundaries, and maintains a structured local documentation hierarchy that mirrors your Azure DevOps environment. This is essential for teams working with microservices or monolithic applications requiring cross-project coordination and bidirectional synchronization between local specs and cloud-based work items.

Key Features

Intelligent project detection via content and keyword analysis
Customizable mapping rules and confidence-based auto-assignment
Cross-project task splitting and work item linking
Automatic folder organization for projects, area paths, and teams
13 GitHub stars
Bidirectional synchronization between local specs and Azure DevOps

Use Cases

Coordinating feature development across multiple specialized engineering teams
Organizing requirements for a large monolith using Azure DevOps Area Paths
Managing a microservices architecture where features span multiple service projects
