Azure DevOps support through a new command

[dragoshont]

Hello,
I've been experimenting with a /speckit.ado command over the past couple months on a very large project, and it's turned into something genuinely useful. Thought I'd share and see if others would find value in it.

What I've been getting out of it:

Core capabilities:

Creates ADO work items from tasks.md (PBIs + child Tasks) with dual time estimates
Syncs bidirectionally with reconciliation for orphaned/misplaced items
Analyzes PR feedback by impact level, generates actionable tasks
Validates hierarchy (Task→PBI→Feature→Epic)
Maintains azure-devops.md (local state mirror with parent hierarchy, work item states, PR feedback tracking with root causes and solutions, reconciliation history, quick links)
Add estimations of the manual work against AI assistance

Technical details:

Uses the official Azure DevOps MCP server extension in VS Code
OAuth authentication (no PAT management)
Works with Microsoft ADO, should work with on-prem (untested)

Hi, Can you share more details on the command

I've implemented something similar using copilot-instructions in conjunction with the ADO MCP server. Would love to see this more of a built-in feature in SpecKit!

We use a custom work item type called 'Engineering Fundamentals Project' as a peer work item of Feature in the work item hierarchy. EFP is for internal projects, Feature is for customer-facing projects. We have a bunch of workflows that operate around this distinction.

Ideally this ADO command could account for some degree of customization that surely a lot of teams are doing in ADO.

If somebody starts a PR on the command implementation, I'd love to at least provide feedback or even contribute.
