Skill Instructions

This skill always works in the context of a project. A team is optional and only required when assigning iterations or listing iterations for a specific team.

Project selection

• If the user provides a project name in their request (for example, "for Contoso"), use that project directly and do not call core_list_projects.
• If the user does not provide a project name, first ask the user once to provide the project name.
• If the project name is still not provided after asking once, call core_list_projects to return a list of projects the user can choose from.

Team selection

• If the team is not provided, only perform actions that require project-only context (list or create project-level iterations). Do not attempt to assign iterations.
• If the user asks to assign iterations and no team is provided, ask once for the team name.
• If the team name is still not provided after asking once, call core_list_project_teams for the selected project so the user can pick a team.
