How does the analysis feature work for work items?

When you request an analysis, the skill fetches the work item data and spawns an 'Explore' agent to scan your local codebase for relevant files, current implementation logic, and potential risks, resulting in a detailed .analysis.md file.

Does this skill support Azure DevOps dashboards?

Yes, you can use the --dashboard flag with a URL or ID to retrieve all queries associated with a specific dashboard.

Where are the downloaded tasks and queries stored?

By default, work items are saved as Markdown files in the .claude/azure/tasks/ directory, making them easy for Claude to read and reference during coding sessions.

Can I create new Azure DevOps work items using this skill?

Yes, it supports multiple creation modes including interactive prompts, quick command-line flags, and JSON templates for automated workflows.

Can I filter tasks by priority or status?

Absolutely. Use the --state and --severity flags to filter results, allowing you to focus on specific items like 'Active' bugs or 'Critical' tasks.

Collaboration Tools

Manages and analyzes Azure DevOps work items, tasks, and bugs directly within the Claude Code environment.

About

The Azure DevOps Manager skill bridges the gap between project management and development by allowing Claude to interact directly with your Azure DevOps workspace. It enables developers to fetch work items, run queries, and manage dashboards via simple commands, while also offering an advanced analysis feature that automatically maps tasks to the local codebase. By spawning sub-agents to explore relevant files and generating structured implementation plans, it transforms project requirements into actionable development tasks.

Key Features

Automated codebase analysis for work items using specialized exploration sub-agents.
Advanced filtering by state, severity, and custom categories.
Cloning and pattern-matching features to generate new work items based on existing ones.
1 GitHub stars
Fetch and download work items, queries, and dashboards as local markdown files.
Interactive and template-based creation of bugs, tasks, and user stories.

Use Cases

Analyzing a complex bug report by automatically identifying relevant source code files and generating an implementation plan.
Syncing a specific Azure DevOps query to local documentation for batch task processing and progress tracking.
Rapidly filing new tasks or bugs with pre-filled templates derived from existing project patterns.
