SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manages development tasks within Azure DevOps with an autonomous two-phase workflow, reducing manual oversight and improving efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous Development Workflow: Automates analysis, design, planning, and implementation phases.
  • First Run Analysis: Conducts initial analysis of the problem, designs a solution, creates a plan, and posts it to the work item.
  • Subsequent Runs: Incorporates feedback, executes the plan, and verifies and publishes pull requests.
  • Use Case: For developers needing to initiate and manage development work items in Azure DevOps, with automated steps and explicit approval points.

Quick Start

Use the 'ado-work-on <id>' command to initiate the autonomous development workflow for a specific Azure DevOps work item.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Azure DevOps work item management from analysis to pull request?

Azure DevOps work item management can be automated using a two-phase workflow that conducts initial analysis, designs a solution, creates a plan, and subsequently executes and publishes pull requests based on user feedback.

What is autonomous development workflow for Azure DevOps?

Autonomous development workflow in Azure DevOps automates the end-to-end process of analyzing a problem, designing a solution, planning, and implementing code changes. It reduces manual oversight by requiring explicit user approvals only at designated checkpoints.

How do I start the autonomous development workflow for a specific Azure DevOps work item?

To start the autonomous development workflow for an Azure DevOps work item, use the 'ado-work-on <id>' command. This initiates the first run phase where initial analysis and planning are posted directly to the work item.

Does the Azure DevOps autonomous development workflow require manual approval before publishing pull requests?

Yes, the Azure DevOps autonomous development workflow requires explicit user feedback and approvals. After the initial analysis and planning phase, subsequent runs incorporate your feedback, execute the plan, and verify pull requests before publishing.

Can I use autonomous development to handle code review and pull request automation in Azure DevOps?

Yes, autonomous development can handle code review and pull request automation in Azure DevOps. The workflow executes planned implementation steps, verifies the changes, and publishes the pull requests automatically after receiving user approval.

What are the limitations of using a two-phase workflow for Azure DevOps work items?

The two-phase workflow for Azure DevOps work items requires a capable implementation of the development workflow and access to Azure DevOps work items. It relies on explicit user feedback and approvals between phases, meaning it does not proceed fully autonomously without manual checkpoints.
