The problem

Failed deployments and slow stages get missed

Release health is spread across releases and environments, so failed deployments and slow stages are missed. Reading each release and each environment one at a time takes longer than the release itself.

Without PopdockAI

  • Open each recent release
  • Check every environment's result
  • Note durations by hand
  • Miss the stage that keeps failing

With PopdockAI

  • Recent releases and their environment deployments are read
  • Results and durations are noted per environment
  • Failures and slow stages are shown first
  • Approvals it cannot see are not inferred

Prompt
**Objective:** Summarize the recent release and deployment history of `{release-definition-name}` in project `{project}` (all if empty).

**Step 1: Resolve the definition**

Call `azure-devops-get-release-definition` with name.contains `{release-definition-name}`. If more than one matches, list them and stop.

**Step 2: Read releases**

Call `azure-devops-get-release` with definition-id for the matched definition and take the latest 20, noting status, reason, created-by and created-on.

**Step 3: Read deployments**

Call `azure-devops-get-deployment` with release-definition-id. Group by environment-name and note deployment-status, operation-status, requested-for and the time between queued-on and completed-on.

**Step 4: Report**

A per-environment table of last deployment, result, success rate over the runs seen and median duration, followed by the latest release and anything stuck, partially succeeded or failed.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* This prompt is read-only. Call only the `azure-devops-get-*` read tools named above; never create, update, comment on, approve, queue, abort or delete anything in Azure DevOps.
* The tools only return data the connected account can see; never infer data from projects outside that access.
* Do not infer approvals or gate details; they are not in these tools.

**Validation:**

* If no releases exist for the definition, say so and stop.
* Report the number of releases and deployments actually examined.

Release managers

Review releases in one summary

Failures and slow stages come first, so you know where releases are struggling.

DevOps engineers

Find the slow stage

Durations per environment show which stage is holding releases up.

Your AI tool

02

Read

It reads the recent releases and their environment deployments.
