What this skill does


# Azure DevOps

Full Azure DevOps integration using OAuth or PAT authentication and REST API v7.1.

## First-Time Setup

### Option 1: OAuth (Recommended)

Login with OAuth device code flow (shows "Visual Studio Code" prompt):
```bash
python scripts/auth.py login --org MyOrganization
```
Follow the URL and enter the device code to authorize. Tokens auto-refresh.

### Option 2: PAT

Login with a Personal Access Token:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py login --org MyOrganization --pat YOUR_PAT
```

Create a PAT at `https://dev.azure.com/{org}/_usersSettings/tokens` with these scopes:
- **Work Items**: Read & Write
- **Code**: Read & Write (for repos/PRs)
- **Build**: Read & Execute (for pipelines)
- **Wiki**: Read & Write
- **Test Management**: Read & Write
- **Advanced Security**: Read (for security alerts)
- **Project and Team**: Read
- **Identity**: Read (for user search)

### Common Commands

Check authentication status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```

Logout:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py logout
```

## Core (scripts/core.py)

```bash
# List all projects
python scripts/core.py list-projects
python scripts/core.py list-projects --top 10

# List teams in a project

```
