Azure Devops

This is a comprehensive Azure DevOps automation skill that covers work items, repos, pull requests, pipelines, and artifacts through a set of Python CLI tools. It auto-activates when you mention ADO, work items, or sprints, and always starts with an auth check before doing anything else. The work item tools handle the annoying HTML formatting requirement automatically (ADO doesn't accept markdown), and there's a two-step workaround for parent-child linking since the Azure CLI doesn't support it directly. You get WIQL query execution, PR creation with reviewers, and proper tooling to discover available work item types and fields in your project. If you're managing Azure DevOps from the command line or want Claude to interact with your boards and repos, this handles the entire surface area.
