# Azure DevOps Active Work

Show all currently active work items across the team or for specific user.

**Usage**: `/azure:active-work [--user=<email>] [--type=<type>]`

**Examples**:
- `/azure:active-work` - All active work
- `/azure:active-work --user=me` - Your active work
- `/azure:active-work --type=task` - Active tasks only
- `/azure:active-work --team=dev` - Dev team active work

## Required Environment Variables

Ensure `.claude/.env` contains:

```bash
AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT=<your-pat-token>
AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG=<your-organization>
AZURE_DEVOPS_PROJECT=<your-project>
```

## Required Documentation Access

**MANDATORY:** Before Azure DevOps integration and agile workflows, query Context7 for best practices:

**Documentation Queries:**
- `mcp://context7/azure-devops/boards` - boards best practices
- `mcp://context7/agile/user-stories` - user stories best practices
- `mcp://context7/project-management/work-items` - work items best practices
- `mcp://context7/agile/sprint-planning` - sprint planning best practices

**Why This is Required:**
- Ensures adherence to current industry standards and best practices
- Prevents outdated or incorrect implementation patterns
- Provides access to latest framework/tool documentation
- Reduces errors from stale knowledge or assumptions


## Instructions

### 1. Query Active Items

Use azure-devops-specialist agent to fetch:
- State = "Active" or "In Progress"
- Group by type (Feature, User Story, Task)
- Include progress metrics
