The agent brand is irrelevant; the work item is everything.
I have watched teams argue about Copilot Studio versus Claude Code versus Codex as if the model decides whether their build succeeds. It does not. Your agentic development power platform effort lives or dies on one thing: whether the Azure DevOps work item you hand the agent is a machine-readable spec or a vaguely worded wish. Swap the agent all you want. If the requirement is unstructured, every agent guesses, and every guess is a different guess.
This article is opinionated on exactly one point and neutral on everything else. Neutral on the tool. Ruthless about the spec.
Why "AI-assisted" Power Platform dev stalls on real teams
The agent guesses intent because the acceptance criteria live in a stale wiki, a Teams thread, or someone's head. That is the whole failure. Switching from one agent to another does not close the gap. The missing spec does.
