Can I import existing ADO Epics into my local repository?

Absolutely. The skill includes an import workflow that converts ADO Epics into SpecWeave increments, preserving descriptions, sub-items, and acceptance criteria.

How does it handle synchronization conflicts?

It includes a bidirectional sync engine with conflict detection and resolution logic to ensure data integrity between your local repository and the ADO server.

What authentication is required for Azure DevOps?

The skill requires a Personal Access Token (PAT) with Work Items (Read & Write) scope, which should be stored securely in your .env file.

Does this skill handle the extra hierarchy level in Azure DevOps?

Yes, it specifically manages the 4-level ADO hierarchy (Epic, Feature, User Story, Task) and intelligently maps SpecWeave concepts to these levels based on item size and complexity.

Does it support custom Area Paths and Iterations?

Yes, the skill captures and stores Area Path and Iteration metadata in your increment frontmatter to maintain correct organizational and planning context.
