azure-devops-reports

name	azure-devops-reports
description	Read Azure DevOps projects, teams, team members, saved queries, and work items securely; run WIQL-based reporting; and export spreadsheet-ready reports with summaries and charts. Use when the user wants Azure DevOps project lists, team lists, team-member lists, saved query results, sprint/work item reporting, WIQL queries, Excel/CSV exports, charts, assignee/state/type breakdowns, or team/project work item analysis.

Azure DevOps Reports

Use this skill for secure, read-focused Azure DevOps reporting.

Configuration

Load credentials from a local .env file stored in this skill directory.

Required variables:

• AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG
• AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT

Optional defaults:

• AZURE_DEVOPS_DEFAULT_PROJECT
• AZURE_DEVOPS_DEFAULT_TEAM
• AZURE_DEVOPS_DEFAULT_QUERY_ID
• AZURE_DEVOPS_OUTPUT_DIR

If required values are missing, ask the user to create or update .env in this skill directory.

Runtime requirements

This skill requires:

• Node.js
• Python 3
• pip3
• Python package: xlsxwriter

Install Python dependency once:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Safety guarantees

• Read-only Azure DevOps access only
• No create, update, or delete operations for Azure DevOps work items
• No secret logging
• No Authorization header logging
• No arbitrary shell execution from user input
• Output restricted to local report files under the skill directory
• AZURE_DEVOPS_OUTPUT_DIR must resolve inside the skill directory
• Prefer least-privilege PAT scopes: vso.project and vso.work

Workflow

1. Load config from the skill-local .env file.
2. Resolve project, team, and query id from explicit arguments or configured defaults.
3. Decide whether the request is project-scoped, team-scoped, team-member scoped, saved-query, sprint-scoped, or custom-WIQL.
4. Fetch work item ids via WIQL when filtering is needed.
5. Fetch detailed work item fields.
6. Normalize records for reporting.
7. Default to the configured saved query when no explicit command or query id is provided.
8. Export to JSON or CSV data bundles.
9. Build summary tables for state, assignee, and work item type.
10. Build Excel charts from exported JSON when the user asks for workbook generation.
11. Use project listing, team listing, team-member listing, sprint listing, and saved-query reporting when the user asks in plain language.

Scripts

• scripts/projects.js — list projects
• scripts/teams.js — list teams in a project and team members
• scripts/iterations.js — list team iterations / current sprint
• scripts/queries.js — list saved queries and inspect a query definition
• scripts/workitems.js — run work item queries and normalize results
• scripts/export-report.js — export JSON/CSV data bundles
• scripts/build_excel_report.py — generate Excel workbooks with charts from exported JSON

Exact script usage

Run all commands from the skill directory:

cd /path/to/azure-devops-reports

1) List projects

node scripts/projects.js list

2) List teams in a project

node scripts/teams.js list "Project Name"

3) List members in a team

node scripts/teams.js members "Project Name" "Team Name"

4) List current sprint

node scripts/iterations.js current "Project Name" "Team Name"

5) List all iterations / sprints

node scripts/iterations.js list "Project Name" "Team Name"

6) List saved queries in a project

node scripts/queries.js list --project "Project Name"

7) Get a saved query definition by id

node scripts/queries.js get --project "Project Name" --id "QUERY_GUID"

8) Fetch work items using saved query id

Explicit:

node scripts/workitems.js query-id --project "Project Name" --id "QUERY_GUID"

With defaults from .env:

node scripts/workitems.js query-id

9) List work items closed in the last 7 days

Using the default project from .env:

node scripts/workitems.js closed-last-week

With an explicit project:

node scripts/workitems.js closed-last-week --project "Project Name"

10) Export report data as JSON

Default saved-query export using .env defaults:

node scripts/export-report.js

Explicit saved-query export:

node scripts/export-report.js query-id \
  --project "Project Name" \
  --id "QUERY_GUID" \
  --format json \
  --out query-data.json

Explicit sprint summary export:

node scripts/export-report.js sprint-summary \
  --project "Project Name" \
  --team "Team Name" \
  --format json \
  --out sprint-summary.json

11) Build Excel workbook from exported JSON

python3 scripts/build_excel_report.py \
  --input output/query-data.json \
  --output output/query-report.xlsx

Ask ClawBot in plain English

These requests should map to the skill without manual script execution:

• show my Azure DevOps projects
• how many teams do we have?
• list all team members in <Your Team Name> team
• can you list the sprints?
• generate the Azure DevOps report
• regenerate the excel
• list all work items closed in last week
• summarize closed items from last week
• show current progress of sprint 07
• which team member has most open items?
