What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
boards-backlog-summary
Get the team's Requirements-level backlog (Product Backlog Items and Bugs) filtered to Active items assigned to the current user. Shows parent/child hierarchy and sorts by priority. Use this skill when the user wants to see their backlog items, sprint assignments, or work they own on a team board.

boards-my-work
This skill retrieves and displays work items assigned to the user in Azure DevOps, organized by type and sorted by recently changed. It prompts for a project name or lists available projects if not provided, then fetches work item details and displays them in a formatted table with clickable links.
.github/skills/boards-my-work/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
boards-team-active-work
Get active work items for a team showing dependencies, priorities, and sprint assignments. Displays items that are blocking others, high priority items first, and items due this sprint. Shows parent/child hierarchy with Title, State, Priority, ChangedDate, Iteration Name, and Iteration End Date.
.github/skills/boards-team-active-work/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
boards-work-item-summary
Summarize a single Azure DevOps work item (and its links and comments) by ID.
.github/skills/boards-work-item-summary/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
pipelines-build-summary
List, inspect, and troubleshoot Azure DevOps pipeline builds. Shows recent builds for a pipeline definition, drills into a specific build's status and result, displays logs for failed steps, and lists the changes associated with a build.
.github/skills/pipelines-build-summary/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
security-alert-review
List and review Advanced Security alerts for an Azure DevOps repository. Shows dependency vulnerabilities, secret exposure, and code scanning findings with filtering by severity, state, and alert type.
.github/skills/security-alert-review/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
work-iterations
List, create, and assign iterations for Azure DevOps projects and teams.
.github/skills/work-iterations/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
