Input Detection
Argument is $ARGUMENTS.
| Form | Meaning |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| empty | look in recent context for ticket; else ask |
| numeric (12345) | ticket id, fetch title for slug |
| URL containing _workitems/edit/<id> | extract id, fetch title |
| <id> <slug-override> | use override slug, skip title fetch |
Workflow
1. Resolve ticket + slug
empty
Scan recent conversation for work item id + title (e.g. prior triage output). Else ask user.
id / URL
az boards work-item show --id <id> --query "{id:id,title:fields.\"System.Title\"}" -o json
Slugify title: lowercase, strip special chars, spaces→hyphens, 3–5 words max.
<id> <override>
Use override directly. Slugify same rules.
2. Pre-flight
git status --short
If dirty → warn, ask: stash / abort.
git branch --show-current
Note current branch (return point).
3. Create branch
git checkout -b feature/<id>-<slug>
If branch already exists → switch to it instead, inform user.
4. Optional: transition ticket → Active
Prompt: "Transition ticket #<id> to Active? (y/N)"
Default: No.
If yes → invoke ticket skill with <id> active.
5. Confirm
Print created branch name + ticket transition status.
Notes
- Branch and ticket transition are intentionally separate —
feature-branchonly prompts; clean separation. - For follow-up state changes use
ticketskill (/dev-azdo:ticket <id> cr, etc.).
