Save and Run Reusable Prompts to Interect With ADO Work Items at Scale
Create prompt templates once and reuse them to run consistent AI-driven checks on Azure DevOps work items. Perform repeated analysis, reviews, or validations without rewriting instructions every time.
There’s a smarter way to run repeated checks on ADO work items
The old way
- I manually review the description of each ADO work item.
- I check test coverage for user stories manually.
- I manually check whether requirements align with compliance.
- When I fix issues, I re-check again manually from scratch.
New way with Dynamic Prompt
- I select all work items to review, open the Dynamic Prompt module, and ask AI to find gaps.
- I ask AI to validate the coverage between test cases and user stories.
- I ask AI to find compliance gaps in selected requirements.
- I rerun the same saved prompt template after updates to confirm issues are resolved.
Dynamic Prompt module: A quick overview
Dynamic Prompt is an advanced AI feature of Copilot4DevOps that lets teams run custom natural-language prompts across batches of ADO work items or saved queries.
Instead of manually inspecting dozens of requirements, you simply select the relevant items and type a prompt telling Copilot4DevOps what action to perform, which could be mapping user stories to test cases, identifying gaps, or preparing reports. Within seconds, Copilot4DevOps processes all the data using AI and returns structured results in the asked format.
Also, these prompts can be saved as templates, so the same checks can be run again whenever needed, and without rewriting anything.
Dynamic Prompt is made for everyone
Project Manager
Validate requirements readiness during backlog grooming using an AI. Identify missing requirements, find scope gaps, and unclear ownership. Generate structured summaries of project progress with AI.
Business Analyst
Use AI and saved prompts to repeatedly analyze the quality of requirements within Azure DevOps. Identify inconsistent and vague requirements and fix them before shipping for development.
Scrum Master
Filter high-priority ADO work items using an AI during sprint planning and ship them for development.
Developer
Use the saved prompt to view all requirements related to any features, such as login, payment, etc., and find user stories with missing acceptance criteria.
Test Lead
Use AI to prepare a table showing how test cases cover user stories. Identify gaps in test cases directly within Azure DevOps.
DevOps Engineer
Use saved prompts to validate release and rollback-related tasks before each production deployment using AI.
SRE
Extract repeated failure patterns, weak action items, and missing follow-ups. Use custom prompts to produce structured outputs for reliability planning.
Compliance Manager
Provide custom prompts to AI to check whether requirements follow particular compliance, such as ISO 9001, SOC Type II, etc., and detect missing evidence references, incomplete trace links, and weak audit descriptions. Re-run after updates to confirm closure.
Risk Manager
Identify work items in the current sprint that have a risk score of more than 80% and fix them.
Security Engineer
Use AI with custom prompts to detect missing security controls and weak validation plans. Generate a proper report of security gaps using an AI.
Here is what the Dynamic Prompt module offers.
Save prompts as a template
Tired of rewriting the same prompt?
Save prompts as a template once and run it anytime on different data. This helps in keeping checks consistent across teams and saves time when teams need to perform validation steps repeatedly.
Specific Work Items as a context
Want to perform checks on handpicked work items?
Select specific work items from the Azure backlog, add a prompt to review or analyze them, and press generate. Within a few seconds, AI generates a structured response based on the provided instructions.
Query-based context
Want to select ADO work items in bulk to perform any action?
Select up to two queries and write a prompt that applies to the items in one or both. Run comparisons, coverage checks, or any logic across full query sets.
Get structured output
Need the output in a particular format?
Specify the output format in the prompt, and the system will generate output accordingly. For example, you can say generate output in table format that should contain the requirement, priority score, risk score, and coverage gap columns.
Rewrite Prompt
Not getting the results you expected?
Use the “Rewrite Prompt” feature to write a better prompt using an AI. This helps the user in getting a better response.
Insert Text Blocks
Repetitively writing the same text across prompts?
Save commonly used texts into the text blocks, and you can directly insert them into any prompt. Ideal for fixed instructions or shared rules that apply across many reviews or checks.

Clear gains with reusable AI prompts
Your Questions are Answered Here
Does Dynamic Prompt support output formats other than tables?
Yes. In the prompt itself, you can define the output format, such as JSON, table, checklist, document, structured bullet, or HTML. Then, AI generates the output in the specified format only.
What security advantages of using Dynamic Prompt?
The Dynamic Prompt module works directly within your Azure DevOps workspace. Also, Copilot4DevOps is SOC Type II certified, so it doesn’t store any of your data or use it to train its models.
What makes Dynamic Prompt different from standard AI chat?
The Dynamic Prompt module is a part of Copilot4DevOps, which runs directly inside Azure DevOps. It has direct access to your ADO work items and performs the required action on them using AI that you can’t do from normal AI chat.
How do teams use Dynamic Prompt for compliance checks?
It’s very simple. Teams can save prompt templates to identify compliance gaps, run them on selected requirements repeatedly, and get a quick idea of what’s missing.
How do I control which work item fields the AI uses?
Dynamic prompt modules allow selecting work item fields, such as Title, Description, Acceptance Criteria, Steps, or custom fields, before running the prompt. AI reads only selected fields of work items. This helps in providing a requirements context to AI in a better way.
How do teams use Dynamic Prompt during release readiness?
Teams can use the Dynamic prompt module to check that rollback steps are complete, the priority of release-related requirements is set properly, and any requirements are not missed during reviews.
What types of tasks fit Dynamic Prompt well?
Repeated checks like completeness review, inconsistency detection, coverage checks, duplicate detection, risk scoring, and compliance validation across man
Which plan of Copilot4DevOps includes the Dynamic Prompt module?
The dynamic prompt module is included in the “Copilot4DevOps Plus” plan that starts with $25/month/member.
Are there any limits for saving prompt templates?
There are no limits for creating and saving prompt templates. You can create as many templates as you want. All templates get stored within your ADO workspace.
