Context Menu

From Azure Boards or Queries, use the Spec Kit Context Menu on a work item — open the work-item menu, choose Raaghu, then run AI actions to chat, review readiness, refine the description or acceptance criteria, or generate child items and test cases — without leaving the board.

You need a Spec Kit seat and a connected AI provider. See Installation and Settings.

Open the Context Menu

  1. On a backlog, board, or query result, open the work-item context menu (right-click or ).
  2. Choose Raaghu.
  3. Pick an action. Spec Kit opens a side panel for that work item.

Actions

ActionWhat it does
Open Raaghu ChatOpens the panel so you can ask questions. Nothing is written to Azure DevOps until you save a draft or create items.
Review Work ItemRead-only readiness report (summary, gaps, risks, verdict, next steps). Optionally Apply fixes as draft.
INVEST CheckType-aware INVEST score (adapted for Epic, Feature, User Story, and other types). Optionally apply priority fixes as a draft, or tag the INVEST score on the work item.
Improve DescriptionRewrites wording and structure into a reviewable draft. Preserves meaning and does not invent new scope. You can also improve the title.
Generate Acceptance CriteriaDrafts testable acceptance criteria while keeping the existing description. Review, then Save changes.
Generate Child ItemsSuggests next-level children for your process template. Edit, create, or skip each card.
Generate Test CasesSuggests Gherkin or step-based test cases. Review and create linked Test Cases in Azure DevOps.

Batch: With multiple work items selected, Review Work Item, INVEST Check, and Generate Acceptance Criteria can run across the selection. Other actions use the primary selected item.

Work-item panel

The panel shows the current work item (type and state), quick-action chips, and the conversation. Refine actions open a draft with Preview, Edit, and Diff. Nothing is saved to Azure DevOps until you confirm.
