Breaks a parent Business Central Feature/Epic into child user stories (with story points) plus one estimate-carrying task per story, in Azure DevOps or GitHub. Use when: break a feature into user stories, plan a feature in ADO, decompose an epic, create child stories with story points and hours, feature breakdown, split a feature into estimable work, create sub-issues for an epic.
Generates customer-facing functional documentation and a changelog entry for a shipped Business Central feature, checking spec-vs-implementation divergence first. Use when: write functional docs, document a feature for the customer, update the changelog, PROD documentation gate, end-user docs for BC, how-to documentation.
Guides an adopter through initializing this BC ALM template for their own project — interviews them for prefix, object ID range, publisher, repo, work-item system, branching and commit conventions, runs scripts/Initialize-Template.ps1 to apply everything, then regenerates project-specific copilot-instructions grounded in the real app. Use when: initialize the template, set up this repo for my project, customize the template, run guided setup, configure prefix and object range, onboard a new BC repo, replace ABC placeholders, first-time setup, generate project-specific copilot-instructions, my copilot-instructions still describe the template.
Runs a pre-PR self-review of a Business Central feature branch against the AL quality gate before a pull request is opened. Use when: self review before PR, check AL quality, review my changes, pre-PR check, did I miss anything, validate before pull request, lint my AL feature.
Composes a high-quality Business Central pull request — description from spec and commits, AL quality checklist, and Azure DevOps work-item link. Use when: open a PR, write a pull request description, prepare the PR, fill the PR template, link the ADO work item, ready for review.
