Raaghu Spec Kit

Raaghu Spec Kit brings specification-driven development into Azure DevOps. PMs, BAs, and QAs can generate, review, and manage structured specs, delivery plans, task breakdowns, and quality checklists — then create and refine Azure Boards work items — all from a guided AI workspace inside your project.

Works with Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (on-premises).

Secure Sign-In

Sign in with your Microsoft account to get started. Raaghu Spec Kit uses Microsoft authentication to securely connect with your Azure DevOps organization or collection.

If your organization requires approval, you may see "Request submitted. Retry authorization after admin approval". An organization admin approves you under Organization Settings → Raaghu Spec Kit → Users → Pending requests, then you click Authorize Now again. Approval is separate from seat assignment.

Workspace — Five Tabs, One Flow

The left workspace is organized into five tabs so teams can move from intelligence → action → backlog → documents → audit:

Dashboard — Project Intelligence

The Dashboard gives PMs a live view of delivery health grounded in Azure Boards and Spec Kit artifacts:

• Overall Progress — completion across stories and tasks
• Spec Readiness — gaps in acceptance criteria, testability, and related dimensions
• Traceability — how well work items stay linked through the hierarchy
• Sprint Health — Healthy / Watch / At Risk for the current iteration
• Review Approval, Test Coverage, Open Risks, and Deploy Readiness
• Artifact progress and specification readiness panels with drill-down into Boards items
• Lifecycle progress across the Spec Kit delivery pipeline

Use the Iteration filter and KPI drill-downs to jump from a metric to the work items that need attention. From a drill-down you can search, filter, sort, open an item in Boards, or Export as CSV. Artifact progress and Test Coverage drill-downs also offer Needs attention and All tabs.

Workflows — Guided AI Actions

The Workflows tab is your command center — AI-powered actions organized by delivery phase. Select any action to start a guided conversation in the chat panel. Search workflows or browse by phase.

Visual — Work Item Hierarchy

The Visual tab shows your Azure Boards hierarchy as an interactive chart — Epics, Features, User Stories, and Tasks — with drag-to-pan navigation, zoom, Sync, and one-click child generation from Spec Kit artifacts.

• Tree visualization — connected cards with Azure DevOps icons and status badges
• Sync (chart) — finds work items outside the Spec Kit tree, then auto-links matching Boards items into the hierarchy (requires Spec Kit initialized and an AI provider). Linked cards can show a connection check; Spec Kit stamps the raaghuspeckit-autolinked tag
• Sync (card menu) — generate child items from wiki specs, one level at a time (e.g. Epic → Features)
• Spec gaps — amber warning when a linked item’s description is behind the wiki; use the wand → Refine to update from the constitution / spec.md / tasks.md
• Refine — improve a work item with AI from the card menu
• Filter & search — filter by type and search by title
• Pan & zoom — navigate large backlogs comfortably
• Process templates — Agile, Scrum, CMMI, and Basic

Intake — Documents to Backlog

The Intake tab turns BRDs, PRDs, and related docs into structured understanding and Azure Boards work items:

• Click New to add files from Repos, Wiki, Boards, Backlogs, or Upload from computer (up to 4 files at a time)
• Spec Kit saves a copy under Raaghu Spec Kit/intake/ in the wiki (or Speckit/intake/ on older projects) and analyzes each document for scope, requirements, risks, assumptions, and open questions
• Large documents are analyzed in overlapping sections and merged; if analysis is only partial, the result notes that
• Use Stop generating to cancel an in-progress analysis, then Retry to run it again without re-selecting the same files
• Review the analysis, then create or skip suggested Boards items from chat. After Skip, use Show skipped and Undo skip to restore a suggestion for Create
• Track remaining open questions and risks until they are resolved

Ideal for onboarding existing product docs before /speckit.specify and backlog creation.

Activity Feed

The Activity tab is a real-time audit trail of what Raaghu Spec Kit has done in your project. Browse by Day, Week, Work Week, or Month, and search across all activity.

• Date navigation — step forward or backward by day, week, or month
• Per-user grouping — see who generated or updated what
• Work item audit trail — Epics, Features, User Stories, and Tasks with ID, title, and timestamp
• Change labels — Created, Updated / Refined, and Deleted (including soft-deletes from the Azure DevOps Recycle Bin)
• Search — filter by keyword

Key Features

Conversational AI Chat

Natural-language interface for context-aware specification engineering. Ask questions, run /speckit.* commands, and generate structured deliverables — all within Azure DevOps. Use Stop generating to cancel a reply in progress, then Retry to run the last prompt again.

Repository-Aware Context

Automatically scans your wiki file tree and repository sources to give the AI project context — README, existing specs, constitution, and structure.

Wiki-Based Storage

Built on GitHub Spec Kit. Spec Kit artifacts (constitution, spec, plan, tasks, checklists, and related files) are saved to your Azure DevOps Wiki under Raaghu Spec Kit/ (projects initialized earlier may still use Speckit/) with full version history — no Git commits required for Spec Kit content.

Flexible AI — BYOK or Raaghu Hosted AI

Use your own AI provider, Raaghu-hosted AI, or both when your organization admin allows it for the project.

In-Extension Settings

Open Settings from the Spec Kit project hub (hamburger menu). Organization admins and Project Administrators can open this dialog for the current project. Regular members do not see Settings.

Organization-wide LLM connections, billing, seats, and license keys stay in Organization Settings → Raaghu Spec Kit (organization-admin only).

My Usage

Track your personal AI spend from the extension header:

• Spend for a selected date range
• Your monthly limit (set by an organization admin, or no limit)
• Clear guidance when you need a higher limit

Context Menu on Work Items

From Azure Boards or Queries, open a work item’s context menu → Raaghu to run AI actions without leaving the board.

The side panel shows the work item context and quick actions. Recommended by Raaghu appears only when there are concrete gaps (for example a thin description or missing/thin acceptance criteria). When the work item looks ready, no recommendation cards are shown. Completed actions stay excluded until you start a New conversation. A quick-action chip can show a Suggested badge when gaps remain. Refine flows use Preview / Edit / Diff — nothing is written to Azure DevOps until you confirm. Multi-select supports Review Work Item, INVEST Check, and Generate Acceptance Criteria.

Organization Settings Hub

Organization admins manage seats, access requests, billing, AI credits, LLM connections, and usage from:

Azure DevOps → Organization Settings → Raaghu Spec Kit

(On Azure DevOps Server, open the same hub from Collection Settings.)

Configurations

Manage organization-wide AI provider connections and assign them to projects.

Organization sub-tab — create shared connections (+ Add LLM) and review Name, Endpoint, Models, and Assigned project.

Project sub-tab — for each Azure DevOps project, review assigned LLMs and AI permission status. Open a project to assign organization connections and set permissions in the side panel.

In the side panel, use Assign AI Services and toggle Use Organization Key, Use Project Key, and Use Raaghu AI, then Save.

Subscription

Subscribe to the Professional Plan at $9 USD / seat / month, then manage seats and billing in one place.

Getting started (eligible new organizations)

Tenant admins see Choose Your Plan when the organization is trial-eligible. The trial is started in Spec Kit (Raaghu entitlement). Microsoft Marketplace does not process payment for this BYOL extension.

1. Select Free Trial or Paid
2. For Free Trial — click Start Free Trial (up to 5 seats, no credit card required)
3. For Paid — set seats with − / +, then click Subscribe Now and complete Stripe checkout. At Stripe checkout, you can enter a promotion code if one was issued to you.
4. Assign seats to team members on the Users tab

If the organization is not trial-eligible, use the paid-only path (Subscribe for $…/month) or activate a key on License Keys.

After you subscribe (paid, trial, or license key), you can:

You also see seats purchased / assigned / available and AI credit balance vs spend.

• Paid (card billing): Billing summary shows billing cycle, next payment date, and monthly total. Plan badge: Paid.
• Free trial: Plan badge shows Free trial. The summary panel is Trial summary (plan, Trial ends on, seats) instead of next payment / monthly total.
• License key: Plan badge shows License key instead of Paid, and Billing summary shows only Expires on.

Users

Approve first-time access requests and assign seats from Manage users.

Sub-tabs: Assigned users, Pending requests, and Available to assign. Use Buy seats when you need more capacity (disabled during a free trial).

Important: Approving an access request is not enough. Members also need an assigned seat to use Spec Kit — even when the organization is subscribed, on trial, or using a license key.

License Keys

Activate and manage license keys for your organization — no Stripe checkout required.

Activate a key

1. Open License Keys
2. Enter the key (format RAAGHU-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX)
3. Click Activation Key — Spec Kit validates first and shows a preview (plan, type, validity)
4. Click Confirm & activate to redeem, or Cancel to go back without activating

Keys on this account lists active entitlements with:

Empty state: "No license keys have been activated for this account."

After activation, billing method becomes License key. On Subscription, the plan badge shows License key, and Billing summary shows only Expires on.

Raaghu AI Credits

Use Manage Raaghu AI credits to top up and set spending limits for Raaghu AI only. Open Top up Raaghu AI credits from this tab (you can also top up from Subscription).

Add Raaghu AI budget cap

Click Add cap. Review Active Raaghu AI caps (scope, limit, period, resets, status) and Edit or Remove anytime.

Raaghu AI usage (on the same tab) shows where credits are going:

Admins see organization-wide project and member spend. Other members see Your spend by project for the selected period under My Usage in the extension.

Spec Kit Workflow

Raaghu Spec Kit follows a structured specification workflow using slash commands:

Define Project Standards (/speckit.constitution)

Establish constitutional principles. The AI generates a constitution that guides later specs and keeps the project consistent.

Create Specification (/speckit.specify)

Create the next numbered feature specification by default — structured sections, acceptance criteria, and a quality checklist. Updates an existing spec only when you explicitly ask. Later commands stay on that feature until you switch.

Clarify Requirements (/speckit.clarify)

Identify gaps and ambiguities, ask targeted clarification questions, and fold answers back into the specification.

Create Implementation Plan (/speckit.plan)

Generate delivery and technical plans — including research, data model, quickstart, and API contract artifacts where applicable.

Generate Implementation Tasks (/speckit.tasks)

Produce phase-based task breakdowns with task IDs, parallel markers, and user-story links — ready to sync with Azure Boards.

Analyze Requirements and Plan (/speckit.analyze)

Cross-check specs, plans, and tasks for duplication, ambiguity, underspecification, and coverage gaps. Findings are severity-rated (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with remediation guidance.

Run Readiness Checklist (/speckit.checklist)

Generate domain-specific quality checklists (UX, API, Security, and more) — “unit tests for requirements.”

Converge Implementation (/speckit.converge)

After developers push code, assess the selected repository branch against the feature’s wiki artifacts (spec, plan, tasks, constitution). Remaining work is appended to tasks.md. Converge does not generate or commit application code.

File Management

• Generate files — AI creates structured Spec Kit artifacts (spec, plan, tasks, and related pages)
• Edit view — review AI-generated changes before saving
• Keep — save generated content to the wiki
• Attach context — attach wiki pages, repo files, or work items to the conversation (up to 4 files)

Chat History

Persistent, project-scoped chat sessions let you resume any conversation:

• Browse sessions — all past conversations for the current project
• Resume anytime — reopen with full message context
• Rename sessions — descriptive names for easy navigation
• Delete sessions — remove one session or clear history
• New chat — start fresh without losing prior sessions

Pricing & Trial

After the trial: subscribe on Subscription, approve pending users and assign seats on Users, configure Configurations as needed, then manage credits and spend on Raaghu AI Credits. Organizations can also activate a key on License Keys instead of Stripe checkout.

See the Pricing tab on this Marketplace listing for full details.
