How it works and why, and repeatable changes.

  • ado_search: one search over work items (full text, with the field that matched), wiki pages and code (Git and
    TFVC), grouped; without the search service work items fall back to titles, a missing part does not stop the rest.
  • ado_file: a file by TFVC path, Git path or only its name; X++ objects as their methods, part shows one method;
    history=true: who changed it, when, through which pull request (also for squash and rebase flows) and for which work
    items.
  • ado_undo and a local log of every change ADO Lens makes (%LOCALAPPDATA%\ado-lens\audit): field values back,
    fields changed by someone else since are kept and named, comments deleted, links removed or added back, created items
    set to their removed state; always previewed first.
  • ado_health: backlog hygiene of a team (no criteria, description, estimate or parent; stale; left in a finished
    sprint; look-alike titles; done without code).
  • ado_release_notes: requirements and bugs finished in a sprint or between dates as markdown, grouped by feature.
  • Recipes (tool set recipes, ado_recipe, adolens recipe): saved steps with a WIQL query and changes, comments or
    child items from a template, with parameters; every run previewed; --yes for Windows Task Scheduler.
  • ado_update and recipes take iteration next.
  • Skill po-explain: "how does X work" in business language with sources, code told apart from documentation.
  • Wiki search shows page paths with real hyphens.

Phase 4: ado_search over work items, wiki and code; ado_file with X++ methods and history through pull requests; a local change log with ado_undo; ado_health; ado_release_notes; recipes (ado_recipe, adolens recipe); iteration 'next'; skill po-explain.
How it works and why, and repeatable changes.

- `ado_search`: one search over work items (full text, with the field that matched), wiki pages and code (Git and
  TFVC), grouped; without the search service work items fall back to titles, a missing part does not stop the rest.
- `ado_file`: a file by TFVC path, Git path or only its name; X++ objects as their methods, `part` shows one method;
  `history=true`: who changed it, when, through which pull request (also for squash and rebase flows) and for which work
  items.
- `ado_undo` and a local log of every change ADO Lens makes (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\ado-lens\audit`): field values back,
  fields changed by someone else since are kept and named, comments deleted, links removed or added back, created items
  set to their removed state; always previewed first.
- `ado_health`: backlog hygiene of a team (no criteria, description, estimate or parent; stale; left in a finished
  sprint; look-alike titles; done without code).
- `ado_release_notes`: requirements and bugs finished in a sprint or between dates as markdown, grouped by feature.
- Recipes (tool set `recipes`, `ado_recipe`, `adolens recipe`): saved steps with a WIQL query and changes, comments or
  child items from a template, with parameters; every run previewed; `--yes` for Windows Task Scheduler.
- `ado_update` and recipes take iteration `next`.
- Skill `po-explain`: "how does X work" in business language with sources, code told apart from documentation.
- Wiki search shows page paths with real hyphens.
