Prompt references for Loop Genie
You can use natural language prompts to interact with Loop Genie and perform actions across DevOps Loop capabilities.
Loop Genie uses a reasoning and action workflow to determine the tools and steps required to satisfy a request. Rather than requiring a separate command for each action, Loop Genie can process multi-step requests and coordinate actions across multiple capabilities within a single prompt.
The prompts in this topic are examples only. You can modify them to match your environment, naming conventions, and workflows.
Writing effective prompts
Describe the outcome that you want to achieve rather than each individual step. Loop Genie can determine the required sequence of actions and execute the appropriate tools to complete the request.
For example, instead of submitting multiple requests such as:
- Create a work item.
- Assign the work item.
- Retrieve the work item status.
Use a single request such as:
Create a story named "Implement refund feature", assign it to john@example.com, and then retrieve the work item status.
Using tool references
You can type # in the prompt field to view available tools from enabled MCP connections.
Examples:
#plan_create_work_item#control_get_pull_request#analytics_get_work_item_status
Tool references can help direct Loop Genie to a specific capability or operation when multiple tools are available.

Multi-step prompt examples
Loop Genie can coordinate multiple actions across capabilities within a single request.
- Create a Bug work item named "Fix login issue", assign it to jane.doe@example.com, and then retrieve its status.
- Create branch "feature-refund-api" in repository "payment-service" and then show the branch details.
- Add user "jane.doe@example.com" to Loop "TeamAlpha" and then list all users in the loop.
- Create a pull request from branch "feature-refund-api" to "main" and then show the pull request details.
Depending on configuration, Loop Genie can display tool activity during execution, including tool names, parameters, execution status, and results. This information helps you understand how requests are processed and provides visibility into actions performed by Loop Genie.
