What is ado-log-story-work?

An Azure DevOps command for recording finished work by creating a completed Task under a User Story. Azure DevOps is a system for managing software work items such as stories and tasks.

Use it to enter the work details and completed hours for a finished piece of work linked to a User Story.

It reduces the steps needed to log work completed during the day while following the project's configured conventions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00024	$0.04323
Opus 5	$0.00012	$0.02161
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00865
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00432

Security

Grade A, and why

ado-log-story-work 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 4d 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.

Log Completed Work to User Story

Rapidly log completed work to a User Story by creating a new Task work item with completed hours already set. This command is designed for quick logging of work done multiple times per day.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. If the user provided any text, work descriptions, hours, IDs, or other arguments after this command (e.g., /ado-log-story-work "Fixed bug" 2 or /ado-log-story-work 123), you MUST COMPLETELY IGNORE them. Do NOT use any work descriptions, hours, IDs, or other arguments that appear in the user's message. You MUST ONLY gather requirements through the interactive prompts as specified below.

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE: Validate Azure DevOps configuration in CLAUDE.md, then begin gathering task information. DO NOT skip these steps even if the user provided arguments after the command.

This command creates a Task work item to record completed work, following the organization's Azure DevOps conventions defined in CLAUDE.md.

Phase 1: Validate Azure DevOps Configuration

Before proceeding with task creation, verify that Azure DevOps configuration exists:

Use the Read tool to read CLAUDE.md from the project root

If the file doesn't exist OR doesn't contain an "## Azure DevOps" section:

Display the following error message:

❌ Azure DevOps configuration not found

CLAUDE.md does not contain Azure DevOps configuration.

Please run /ado-init first to configure Azure DevOps settings for this project.

The /ado-init command will:
- Configure your organization, project, and team
- Set up Area Path and Iteration Path defaults
- Define naming conventions and work item guidelines
- Optionally configure the Azure DevOps MCP server

STOP and do not proceed further

If Azure DevOps section exists:
- Parse the CLAUDE.md content to extract configuration values:
  - Organization name (look for text after 'specify the organization as "')
  - Project name (look for text after 'the project as "')
  - Team name (look for text after 'the team as "')
  - Area Path (look for text after 'Area Path" set to "')
  - Iteration Path (look for text after 'Iteration Path" set to "')
- Store these values for use in task creation
- Proceed to Phase 2

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.
