Compare Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions for a branch
For IT and integration teams who run CI in both Azure DevOps and GitHub and want the results side by side, by asking their AI assistant.

The problem
Two CI systems, and nobody lines them up
A team that builds in both Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions has to open two systems to see whether a branch is failing in one, the other or both. Lining up the runs by hand is slow, and the disagreements are what matter.
Without PopdockAI
- Open recent Azure DevOps builds for the branch
- Open recent GitHub workflow runs
- Line up results by time by hand
- Miss a branch that is green in one and red in the other
With PopdockAI
- Recent builds and workflow runs are read for the branch
- Results are paired and compared
- Disagreements between the systems are flagged
- Empty or truncated sides are reported, and nothing is written
The prompt

**Objective:** Compare CI results for branch `{branch}` over the recent runs in Azure DevOps project `{project}` and GitHub company `{company}`.
**Step 1: Azure DevOps builds**
Call `azure-devops-get-build` with project-id `{project}`. If more detail on pipelines is needed, call `azure-devops-get-pipeline-run` with project `{project}`. Keep only runs for branch `{branch}`; record result, state, requester and times.
**Step 2: GitHub workflow runs**
Call `github-get-workflow-run` with company `{company}` and branch `{branch}`. Record name, status, conclusion, triggering-event and run-number.
**Step 3: Align**
Pair runs by closest start time and, where available, matching commit sha. Do not pair runs more than a day apart.
**Step 4: Report**
Per system: counts of succeeded, failed, cancelled and in progress. Then list commits or times where one system failed and the other passed, and name the failing build or workflow.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools prefixed azure-devops- belong to the azure-devops server; tools prefixed github- belong to the github server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call github-add-issue, github-update-issue, github-add-issue-comment, github-add-issue-label, github-add-issue-assignee, github-lock-issue, github-unlock-issue, github-rerun-workflow-run, github-cancel-workflow-run, github-enable-workflow, github-disable-workflow, github-add-milestone or github-update-milestone.
**Validation:**
* If branch `{branch}` has no runs on one side, report that side as having no CI for the branch.
* If the two systems report different status vocabularies, map them to succeeded, failed, cancelled, in progress, and state the mapping.Who it's for

How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You name a repository and branch, and your AI assistant compares CI health across both systems. It only reads, and GitHub write actions are off limits.
01
Ask
You name the repository and branch.
02
Read
It reads recent Azure DevOps builds and GitHub workflow runs for that branch.
03
Compare
It pairs the results and notes any disagreement.
04
Report
You get both sides, the mismatches and any caveat about missing data.
