Work Categories
Tools & Automation
| Tool/Script | What it does | Who benefits | Est. time saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release analytics dashboard (inline editors) | Edit CRW, Comms Writer, and Doc Changes fields directly in the dashboard | Intune docs team | 3 hrs/week |
| OOB tracker & at-risk item lists | Surface out-of-band items and at-risk work items in dashboard analytics | Intune docs team | 1 hr/week |
| Weekly report HTML renderer | Converts markdown reports to styled HTML with metric cards and charts | Self | 30 min/week |
| Dashboard management scripts (msft-skilling) | Create queries, add widgets, manage dashboard layout programmatically | Intune docs team | 2 hrs/cycle |
| Release cycle update scripts | Update ADO dashboard release cycles and dates automatically | Intune docs team | 1 hr/cycle |
| Backlog client UI | Fetch and display user stories with filtering | Self / team | 1 hr/week |

Priorities Alignment
| Priority area | How this week's work contributed |
|---|---|
| Release content delivery | MMA docs authored and staged for 2603; MHS config updated; preview tags cleaned up for GA |
| Tooling & automation | Major dashboard push — inline editing, security, analytics, OOB tracking reduce manual ADO overhead |
| Process efficiency | Weekly report renderer and release cycle scripts streamline recurring workflows |
| Quality & security | CSRF protection, DOMPurify sanitization, rate limiting harden the dashboard for broader team use |
Challenges & Blockers
- Server restart reliability — initial timeout approach didn't work cross-platform; switched to ping-based solution
- Port configuration drift between docs and actual scripts required cleanup across backend and frontend configs
- Proxy target misalignment in vite.config.ts needed correction for local dev server
Learnings
- DOMPurify is the right layer for sanitizing ADO HTML content before rendering in React — catches edge cases that manual escaping misses
- CSRF custom-header pattern is simpler than token-based CSRF for same-origin API calls
- Inline editing in dashboards dramatically reduces context-switching vs. opening each work item in ADO
Plan for Next Week
- Continue 2603 release content work
- Finalize dashboard analytics for team rollout
- Weekly report workflow refinement
- Sync ADO improvements — test end-to-end with msft-skilling
