FAQPage Schema
How do I create a local Azure DevOps work item packet from repository context?

To create a local Azure DevOps work item packet, use the `create_work_item_packet.py` script, providing a work item type, title, and context file to draft a packet locally without creating live items.

Can I generate Azure Boards bug tracking items locally without connecting to Azure DevOps?

Yes, you can generate Azure Boards bug tracking items locally without connecting to Azure DevOps. The Skill drafts packets locally using official Azure Boards primitives, ensuring formatting consistency before you paste them manually.

Does the work item packet creation process inspect my local codebase for context?

The work item packet creation process inspects your local codebase for context. It analyzes surrounding repositories to extract relevant code snippets and file information, enriching the drafted work item with accurate developmental context.

What is the best way to ensure correct schema formatting for different Azure DevOps work item types?

The best way to ensure correct schema formatting for different Azure DevOps work item types is using predefined templates. The Skill provides template-based generation for various work item types, guaranteeing adherence to official Azure Boards standards.

Do I need Python3 to run the Azure DevOps work item packet generator?

Yes, you need Python3 to run the Azure DevOps work item packet generator. Python3 is a required dependency for executing the `create_work_item_packet.py` script and processing the local codebase inspection logic.

Why does the generated work item packet need to be pasted into Azure DevOps manually?

The generated work item packet needs to be pasted into Azure DevOps manually because the Skill explicitly does not create live items in Azure DevOps. It focuses on local packet drafting to ensure you review context before final submission.
