Agent Sightings Real agent use cases

Vibe-code a pull request dashboard across Azure DevOps repos

Architecture came from ChatGPT; Junie inside WebStorm then built an Azure DevOps PR dashboard across four repos—approvals, conflicts, comments—in roughly three hours, with YouTrack wired in and PATs kept local. The team adopted it the same day.

Why it matters

Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings (number 83 by interest), and one of 29 involving ChatGPT.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Build a small dashboard that aggregates open PRs across these Azure DevOps repos, highlighting approvals, conflicts, and comment threads. Keep secrets local and show a working read-only view before any write APIs.

Tip: Work on a fresh branch, ask for a plan before edits, and review the diff and test results before merging.
