Use az with the Azure DevOps extension to work with Azure Boards work items: first run an interactive check - if az or the azure-devops extension is missing, stop, ask whether the user wants installation guidance, wait for an answer, then continue. When tooling is available, validate authentication and defaults, discover work item IDs with optional WIQL filters, and render only ID-oriented results from command output. This skill does not analyze Azure DevOps descriptive content.
045-planning-azure-devops is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/planning-azure-devops/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when you need Azure DevOps CLI guidance to verify installation, configure organization and project context, discover work item IDs by optional WIQL filters, and execute safe work-item create/update operations. Uses an interactive install gate - if `az` or the Azure DevOps extension is missing, ask whether to show installation guidance before any work item commands.
