Your Object IDs Have No Excuse Now - Ninja Comes to CI/CD

AL Object ID Ninja is now available as a GitHub Action and an Azure DevOps Pipeline Task. It scans your AL repository during CI/CD and fails the build if it finds any object IDs, field IDs, or enum value IDs that aren't tracked by the Ninja backend.

Multi-app repos and app pools are supported automatically.

But context engineering? Not so much.

And I find that strange, because if there is one lesson I have taken away from spending the past nine months writing code almost exclusively with AI agents (last six of which you can drop the "almost" word), it is this: context matters more than your prompt. Significantly more. Whenever my agents produced results that I could never match - faster, more consistent, undeniably better - every single time I could trace that back to one thing. Precise context.

That word, precise, is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Remember it.
