DevDocket
A central hub for managing work across pull requests, issues, investigations, and follow-ups.
DevDocket adds a unified work-item sidebar to VS Code. It ingests work from provider extensions such as GitHub and Azure DevOps, lets you triage what matters, and keeps your active work, backlog, paused items, and completed history in one place.
Features
- My Work sidebar with five tiers for your workflow: Incoming → Ready to Start → In Progress → Paused → Done.
- Incoming triage for newly discovered provider items: preview, accept, start immediately, or dismiss.
- Sources tab that stays browsable by provider and group so you can find everything providers know about, even after triage.
- Floating CI Watches panel for monitoring pull request status and GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps Pipelines runs from VS Code.
- Manual work items for investigations and follow-ups that do not live in an external tracker.
- Walkthrough that introduces the DevDocket workflow, providers, active work, and CI watches.
- Extensible provider and action model so other extensions can add sources of work or actions you can run from a work item.
Requirements
- VS Code 1.92.0 or later.
- Provider extensions are installed separately. Install DevDocket GitHub, DevDocket Azure DevOps, or another provider to automatically discover work from external systems.
