A command for closing an Azure DevOps work item, which is a tracked piece of work such as a bug or feature, after checking that it is complete.

Why use it?
It reduces the risk of closing work before its acceptance criteria and final checks are satisfied, while recording how completion was verified.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

close-azure-task scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Close Azure DevOps Work Item

Closes Azure DevOps work item after verifying completion, running final checks, and documenting resolution.

Purpose

  • Safely close completed work items
  • Verify all acceptance criteria met
  • Document final resolution and verification
  • Run quality checks before closure
  • Maintain completion audit trail

Required MCP Setup

This command requires Azure DevOps MCP server to be installed and configured.

If not installed, follow: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-devops-mcp-server

Execution Steps

Step 1: Validate Input

Check if work item number was provided as argument.

If no work item number provided: Output: "Usage: /close-azure-task [work_item_number]

Example: /close-azure-task 12345" Exit command.

Step 2: Fetch Work Item Details

Use mcp__azuredevops__get_work_item tool (if available):

  • work_item_id: [provided work item number]

If tool not available: Output: "Azure DevOps MCP server not configured.

Install and configure following: /fetch-azure-task documentation" Exit command.

If work item not found: Output: "Work item [number] not found or access denied." Exit command.

Extract work item information:

  • Current state
  • Work item type
  • Title and description
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Related work items
  • Assigned to

Step 3: Verify Work Item State

Check current state of work item.

If state is already "Closed": Output: "Work item #[ID] is already closed.

Closed Date: [closed date] Closed By: [closed by]

No action needed." Exit command.

If state is "New" or "Active": Output: "Warning: Work item #[ID] is currently '[state]', not 'Resolved'.

Typically work items should be:

  1. Developed (Active)
  2. Code reviewed (Resolved)
  3. Tested and verified
  4. Then closed

Do you want to proceed with closure anyway? (yes/no):" WAIT for user confirmation.

If user says no: Output: "Closure cancelled. Consider using /update-azure-task to set status to 'Resolved' first." Exit command.

Step 4: Run Pre-Closure Checks

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
