Command Aliases

Some commands have short aliases:

Full Command	Alias
/pm:status	Status check
/pm:next	Next task recommendation
/azure:standup	Daily standup

Provider Selection

Commands are organized by provider:

• Universal (/pm:*) - Work with any provider
• GitHub (/pm:issue-*, /pm:epic-sync) - GitHub-specific
• Azure (/azure:*) - Azure DevOps-specific

The system detects your configured provider and enables the appropriate commands.

Command Execution Flow

When you run a command:

1. Validation - Parameters and prerequisites are checked
2. Context Loading - Relevant context is loaded
3. Execution - The operation is performed
4. Sync - Changes are synchronized to provider
5. Output - Results are displayed

Error Handling

Commands provide clear error messages:

/pm:epic-start nonexistent-epic

# Output:
# Error: Epic 'nonexistent-epic' not found
# Available epics: user-auth, payment-system, dashboard
# Run /pm:epic-list to see all epics

Best Practices

1. Use /pm:help often - Discover new commands and refresh your memory
2. Check status before starting - Run /pm:status to understand current state
3. Validate before sync - Use /pm:validate to catch issues early
4. Use dry-run for risky operations - Preview before executing
5. Keep commands atomic - Do one thing at a time for clarity
