Chat Panel

The chat panel on the right is where you talk to AI, run Spec Kit commands, and follow guided Workflows.

An AI provider must be connected first. If none is configured, chat may say "AI is not configured yet. Please contact your organisation admin to proceed." (or ask you to set up AI in Settings). Organization admins and Project Administrators connect AI in Settings. If you do not see Settings in the menu, ask an admin to connect AI for this project.

Send a message​

  1. Type in the Ask Raaghu Spec Kit box.
  2. Optionally pick a Command and attach files.
  3. Click Send.

Use the Command dropdown for Spec Kit commands. If Settings → Commands Mapping is set to Default, you see friendly names such as "Create Specification" — that is the same as /speckit.specify. Use the ⓘ buttons on the Command title and on each command for short in-product help (description, what to enter, and an example). See Spec Kit Commands.

The footer shows the active AI model. Enhance prompt can rewrite your text before sending.

While a reply is generating, use Stop generating to cancel. Interrupted replies can show "Response stopped. Retry to run this prompt again" — click Retry to send the last prompt again.

Work item previews in chat​

When you ask chat to create, update, change state, or link Azure Boards work items, Spec Kit shows a preview card first. Review the draft, then click Continue — nothing is written to Boards until you confirm.

If the page reloads while a create is in progress, the card explains that some rows may already be saved and does not offer Continue again (to avoid duplicates). Check Azure Boards before asking again.

Team and sprint when creating​

Before you create new work items, the preview can show Team and Sprint choices (similar to the filters on the Dashboard). Pick where the items should go, then click Continue.

  • A short line under the pickers explains where the items will be added.
  • If a team has no sprints yet, items can still be created for that team without a sprint.
  • The same Team / Sprint choices appear when you create items from Intake.

Reports in chat​

Ask about your backlog in plain language and Spec Kit can show a Report card under the answer — with the total count, a table (priority, severity, state, and similar), links to each work item, and Open / View all in Azure Boards. The card also shows when the data was loaded (As of …).

Examples you can try:

  • Give me open bugs
  • list open P1 bugs
  • open bugs by severity
  • stories without test cases

Chat reports are for lists, aging, breakdowns, test results, and coverage/traceability style questions. They are not for burndown, velocity, cumulative flow, or story-point totals — use Azure Boards Queries or Analytics for those.
