# Azure DevOps Work Items Skill
This skill provides guidance on creating and managing Azure DevOps work items when using the Azure DevOps MCP server tools. It ensures work items follow organizational best practices for hierarchy, formatting, naming conventions, and hour estimation.
## When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Creating Features, User Stories, or Tasks in Azure DevOps
- Planning work item hierarchies for a feature or epic
- Structuring acceptance criteria or task descriptions
- Applying naming conventions to work items
- Estimating hours or story points for work items
- Using the `@azure-devops/mcp` MCP server tools
## Work Item Hierarchy
Azure DevOps uses a three-level structure for Agile projects:
1. **Features** (top level) - High-level capabilities or business objectives
2. **User Stories** (child of Features) - Specific functionality from a user perspective
3. **Tasks** (child of User Stories) - Individual work items for implementation
**Key Rules:**
- Every User Story must belong to a Feature (parent-child relationship)
- Every Task must belong to a User Story (parent-child relationship)
- Features contain one or more User Stories
- User Stories contain one or more Tasks
## HTML Formatting Requirement
**CRITICAL:** All text fields (Description, Acceptance Criteria) must use proper HTML formatting for correct rendering in Azure DevOps.
**Examples:**
```html
<!-- Good: Proper HTML -->
