SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Twig CLI removes the friction of manually creating, updating, and navigating Azure DevOps work items by providing a consistent terminal-driven workflow for managing backlog context and state transitions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Work item lifecycle management: Create seeds, publish them to ADO, transition states, and update core fields like AssignedTo and Description.
  • Context-first navigation: Set the active work item and use hierarchy/tree operations to traverse parent-child relationships.
  • Reliable structured outputs: Use JSON output for machine-readable results and enable deterministic downstream automation.
  • Implementation support: Add progress notes at key checkpoints and update fields directly without unnecessary save steps.

Quick Start

Tell the AI: "Use twig to set the active work item to my Issue, create and publish the needed seed(s), assign it to me, and update its description and checkpoint notes using JSON output."

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage Azure DevOps work items from the terminal?

You can manage Azure DevOps work items from the terminal by using the twig CLI to set active context, create and publish seeds, perform field updates, and transition states with deterministic JSON output.

How do I automate backlog navigation and work item creation in Azure DevOps?

Automate backlog navigation and work item creation by setting the active work item context first, then using hierarchy walking operations to traverse parent-child relationships and publish new seeds to Azure DevOps.

Can I update Azure DevOps work item fields and add progress notes via command line?

You can update Azure DevOps work item fields and add progress notes via command line by setting the active context, applying field updates directly without extra save steps, and appending structured checkpoint notes.

Does twig CLI require JSON output for CI/CD automation workflows?

JSON output is required for twig CLI automation workflows because it provides reliable, machine-readable structured results that enable deterministic downstream processing during your SDLC routing.

Why do I need to set context and sync before querying Azure DevOps work items?

Setting context and performing a sync before querying Azure DevOps work items is required to keep terminal actions deterministic, ensuring your local state matches the backlog before applying updates or transitions.

What is the best way to handle state transitions for Azure DevOps work items in a CLI environment?

The best way to handle state transitions for Azure DevOps work items in a CLI environment is to set the active context, perform a sync, and then use the twig CLI to transition states while using JSON output for tracking.
