What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with Azure DevOps, specifically focusing on managing work items. It can create new work items (like tasks and bugs), update existing ones by modifying fields such as state and assigned users, and retrieve information about work items based on specified criteria. The agent utilizes the Azure DevOps REST API for these operations.

When to use it

• Automate bug reporting: Automatically create a bug in Azure DevOps when an error is detected during automated testing.
• Task assignment: Assign new tasks generated from project management software directly into Azure DevOps and assign them to specific team members.
• Work item status updates: Update the state of work items (e.g., "To Do" to "In Progress") based on triggers like code commits or build successes.
• Progress tracking: Retrieve a list of all tasks assigned to a particular user and their current status for daily stand-up meetings.

Key capabilities

• Create new work items (Tasks, Bugs, User Stories, etc.)
• Update existing work item fields (State, Assigned To, Description)
• Retrieve work item details based on query parameters
• Uses Azure DevOps REST API

Example prompts

• "Create a bug in Azure DevOps with the title 'Login button unresponsive' and assign it to John Doe."
• "Update the state of work item ID 12345 to 'Resolved'."
• “Find all tasks assigned to Jane Smith that are currently ‘In Progress’.”

Tips & gotchas

• Requires appropriate Azure DevOps API credentials for authentication. Ensure the AI agent has been granted necessary permissions within your Azure DevOps organization.
