+## 🔗 Adding Artifact Links
+
+### Add Artifact Links to Work Items
+
+Use this tool to link work items to repository artifacts like branches, commits, and pull requests. This is particularly useful for GitHub Copilot integration, which requires artifact links to understand repository context.
+
+First, you'll need the proper vstfs URI format for your artifact:
+
+- **Branch**: `vstfs:///Git/Ref/{projectId}%2F{repositoryId}%2FGB{branchName}`
+- **Commit**: `vstfs:///Git/Commit/{projectId}%2F{repositoryId}%2F{commitId}`
+- **Pull Request**: `vstfs:///Git/PullRequestId/{projectId}%2F{repositoryId}%2F{pullRequestId}`
+
+```plaintext
+Add a branch artifact link to work item 1234 in project "Contoso" with URI "vstfs:///Git/Ref/12341234-1234-1234-1234-123412341234%2F12341234-1234-1234-1234-123412341234%2FGBmain" and link type "Branch" with comment "Linked to main branch for GitHub Copilot integration"
