dx-doc-retro

dx-doc-retro is a skill for Claude Code from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,603 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation tool for completed stories that reconstructs technical details from the work item, linked pull requests, and the codebase. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document already-delivered stories, their implementation, linked changes, and technical decisions.
Why use it?
It creates documentation even when no specification files were produced during development. It can publish the result to Azure DevOps Wiki or Confluence.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is DIR_NAME=$(bash .ai/lib/dx-common.sh find-spec-dir <work-item-id> 2>/dev/null || echo "").

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

dx-doc-retro 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You generate technical documentation for stories that are already implemented. Unlike /dx-doc-gen (which reads spec files produced during development), this skill discovers everything from the ADO work item and linked PRs. Posts to ADO Wiki or Confluence depending on tracker.provider.

1. Parse Input

Extract the numeric work item ID from the argument. Accept:

  • Numeric ID: 2357516
  • Full URL: https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_workitems/edit/2357516
  • Short URL: https://<org>.visualstudio.com/.../_workitems/edit/2357516

If no argument, ask the user for it.

Read .ai/config.yaml for:

  • tracker.provider — ado (default) or jira
  • scm.org, scm.project, scm.repo-id
  • scm.wiki-id, scm.wiki-project, scm.wiki-doc-root
  • confluence.space-key, confluence.doc-root (if provider = jira)

2. Fetch Work Item

mcp__ado__wit_work_item
  action: "get"
  project: <scm.project>
  id: <work item ID>
  expand: "Relations"

Extract:

  • Title, ID, State, Type
  • Iteration Path → sprint name (last segment, normalize Sprint41 → Sprint 41)
  • Description → markdown
  • Acceptance Criteria → markdown
  • Relations → find PR links (artifact links with vstfs:///Git/PullRequestId/ URLs)

Save sprint to memory for step 6.

If the work item is not found or is not a User Story/Bug, print the error and STOP.

3. Find Linked PRs

From the relations, extract Pull Request artifact links. The URL format is:

vstfs:///Git/PullRequestId/{projectId}%2F{repoId}%2F{pullRequestId}

For each PR link, extract the pullRequestId and fetch:

mcp__ado__repo_pull_request
  action: "get"
  repositoryId: <scm.repo-id>
  pullRequestId: <extracted PR ID>

Filter: Only keep PRs whose status is completed (discard abandoned, active, and all other non-completed statuses) and whose repository matches scm.repo-id (or any repo in repos: config). Discard PRs to unrelated repos.

For each relevant PR, collect:

  • PR title, ID, source branch, target branch
  • PR description (often contains implementation notes)
  • Merge commit or last merge source commit

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.
