What problem does it solve? Teams using the ICEA-driven workflow need a controlled, auditable gate before implementation begins. This Skill approves an ICEA and Tech Spec by ADO ID from any session, reading state entirely from disk so no prior conversation context is required. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Disk-based state resolution: Locates ICEA and Tech Spec files by ADO ID, normalizing formats like ADO-1847, ADO #1847, or 1847. - Status-aware handling: Reads the current Status line and routes DRAFT, Approved, IN PROGRESS, and COMPLETE states to the correct next action. - Open Questions gate: Blocks approval when any ICEA Open Question is unresolved, directing the developer to run REVISE first. - Governance audit trail: Records the approval event to the tamper-evident audit log and appends an Approved row to the feature's .ai-audit.md file. - Use Case: After a Tech Lead review, a developer runs APPROVE ADO-1847; the Skill verifies no open questions remain, writes Status: Approved, logs the event, and outputs a ready-to-paste ADO work item description block. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to approve ADO-1847 and confirm the ICEA status is written to disk with the ADO description block ready to paste. ## Quick Start Approve ADO-1847 and write the approved status to the ICEA file on disk.
