You can create or update Azure DevOps work items (PBI, Bug, Task, User Story) through a deterministic PowerShell script calling the REST API, and analyze Application Insights CSV exports to find slow requests, slow SQL, and N+1 query patterns in .NET / EF Core codebases.

They target .NET backend engineers and Azure DevOps practitioners who manage work items programmatically and diagnose production performance issues from Application Insights telemetry, especially teams working with Swedish-language content requiring correct UTF-8 handling.

The Azure DevOps skill executes a deterministic PowerShell script that talks directly to the REST API, handling multi-line bodies and the correct body field per work-item type. The performance skill processes an Application Insights CSV log export to surface slow requests, slow SQL, and N+1 patterns.

The work-item skill requires PowerShell and access to the Azure DevOps REST API. The performance analysis skill requires an Application Insights CSV log export and applies to .NET / EF Core codebases where slow SQL or N+1 query patterns may exist.

Yes. The PowerShell script explicitly handles UTF-8 encoding, including Swedish characters å, ä, and ö, along with multi-line bodies, ensuring work-item content is created or updated without character corruption across PBI, Bug, Task, and User Story types.
