# Power Platform Skills

Official agent skills/plugins for Power Platform development by Microsoft.

## Overview

This repository is a **plugin marketplace** containing GitHub Copilot/Claude Code plugins for Power Platform services. Each plugin provides skills, agents, and commands to help developers build on the Power Platform.

## Installation

### Quick Install (Recommended)

Run the installer to set up all plugins with auto-update enabled:

**Windows (PowerShell)**:

```powershell
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js -OutFile install.js; node install.js; del install.js
```

**Mac OS/Linux/Windows (cmd)**:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js | node
```

The installer automatically:

- Installs `pac` CLI if not already installed
- Detects available tools (GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code)
- Registers the plugin marketplace and installs all listed plugins except `dataverse`
- Enables auto-update so plugins stay current

To also install the [Dataverse](#dataverse-external) plugin, pass `--include-dataverse`:

```powershell
iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js -OutFile install.js; node install.js --include-dataverse; del install.js
```

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/main/scripts/install.js | node - --include-dataverse
```

The `-` tells Node to read the piped script, so the arguments after it reach the installer.

### Manual Installation

If you prefer to install manually, run these commands inside a GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code session:

1. Add the marketplace

```bash
    /plugin marketplace add microsoft/power-platform-skills
    ```

2. Install the desired plugin

```bash
    /plugin install power-pages@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install model-apps@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install pcf@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install mcp-apps@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install code-apps-preview@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install mobile-app@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install power-apps-mobile-extension@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install canvas-apps@power-platform-skills
    /plugin install power-automate@power-platform-skills

    ```

## Available Plugins

### [Power Pages](plugins/power-pages/README.md) (`plugins/power-pages`)

Create and deploy Power Pages sites using modern development approaches.

**Currently supported**: Code Sites (SPAs) with React, Angular, Vue, or Astro

### [Model Apps](plugins/model-apps/README.md) (`plugins/model-apps`)

Build model-driven Power Apps end to end, and the generative pages that go in them.

**Skills**: `/app-builder` builds and edits a whole app — tables, relationships, forms,
views, charts, security roles, app + sitemap — from a natural-language intent; `/genpage` builds
generative pages for an app that already exists. Use either independently — neither requires the other

**Stack**: React + TypeScript + Fluent, deployed via PAC CLI and the headless `cds-maker-sdk`

### [PCF](plugins/pcf/README.md) (`plugins/pcf`)

Build, test, diagnose, upgrade, deploy, verify and inventory Power Apps component framework (PCF) code components for model-driven apps, with guided setup for Power Pages field controls and canvas apps. Canvas apps need an admin to turn on **Power Apps component framework for canvas apps** in each environment.

**Skills**: `/pcf:pcf` scaffolds Microsoft-maintained PCF templates and recipes, runs gates, deploys with PAC, and verifies registration and bindings.

**Status**: Preview — see [capabilities](plugins/pcf/docs/pcf-capabilities.md)

**Stack**: Node.js 20+, Power Apps component framework, PAC CLI, .NET SDK, and Azure CLI for verification/inventory

### [MCP Apps](plugins/mcp-apps/README.md) (`plugins/mcp-apps`)

Generate self-contained JavaScript server runtimes, JSON Schema registration metadata,
and interactive single-file MCP App widgets for codeful MCP tools.

**Skills**: `/generate-codeful-mcp-tool` creates a named `runTool` server entry point plus
its description, MCP behavior annotations, input schema, and structured output schema,
with verified Dataverse access; `/generate-mcp-app-ui` creates an HTML widget that embeds
its runtime by default for hosts that block public URLs, while retaining an opt-in CDN
mode. It can consume model-visible content, structured output, and widget-private
metadata.

**Stack**: JavaScript codeful tools + HTML widgets using the MCP Apps protocol

### [Code Apps](plugins/code-apps/AGENTS.md) (`plugins/code-apps`)

Build and deploy Power Apps code apps connected to Power Platform via connectors.

**Stack**: React + Vite + TypeScript, deployed via PAC CLI

### [Mobile Apps](plugins/mobile-apps/README.md) (`plugins/mobile-apps`)

Build and deploy Power Apps code apps for mobile with native device capabilities.

**Stack**: Expo + React Native + TypeScript, deployed via Power Apps Wrap

### [Power Apps Mobile Extension](plugins/power-apps-mobile-extension/README.md) (`plugins/power-apps-mobile-extension`)

Build third-party native controls for wrapped Canvas apps and package them as verified
`.ppmplugin` bundles with matching dispatcher PCF controls.

**Stack**: Kotlin + Objective-C, Power Apps component framework, and Power Apps Wrap

### [Canvas Apps](plugins/canvas-apps/AGENTS.md) (`plugins/canvas-apps`)

Author Power Apps Canvas Apps using the Canvas Authoring MCP server.

**Stack**: PA YAML (`.pa.yaml`) authored via `CanvasAuthoringMcpServer`, requires .NET 10 SDK

### [Power Automate](plugins/power-automate/README.md) (`plugins/power-automate`)

Build, edit, run, and debug Power Automate cloud flows via the FlowAgent MCP server.

**Stack**: Node.js 18+, Azure CLI (`az login`), self-contained MCP bundle

### [Process Intelligence](plugins/process-intelligence/README.md) (`plugins/process-intelligence`)

Analyze Power Automate Process Mining data, including bottlenecks, variants,
cohorts, rework and object-centric executions through guided MCP workflows.

**Skills**: `/analytics` and `/investigate-process` guide analysis;
`/analyze-performance`, `/analyze-variants`, `/analyze-drivers`, `/compare-cohorts`,
`/derive-metric` and `/analyze-objects` answer focused questions.
`/setup` and `/report-issue` handle connection setup and support drafts.
See the [skill catalog](plugins/process-intelligence/README.md#skills).

**Stack**: Node.js 22 or 24 LTS, Azure CLI, self-contained MCP bundle

GCC, GCC High, DoD and Mooncake are not supported yet.

### [Dataverse](https://github.com/microsoft/Dataverse-skills) (external)

Work with Microsoft Dataverse: connect to an environment, query and change records, manage tables and columns, and handle security, administration, and solutions.

**Stack**: Dataverse MCP server, Dataverse CLI, Python SDK, and PAC CLI

This plugin is maintained in [microsoft/Dataverse-skills](https://github.com/microsoft/Dataverse-skills), and this marketplace installs it straight from that repository's default branch.
Report issues and send changes there.
If you already installed `dataverse` from the `dataverse-skills` marketplace, keep only one of the two installs so its skills are not loaded twice.

## Local Development

To develop and test plugins locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository
1. Launch GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code with the plugin path:

GitHub Copilot CLI:

```bash
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-pages
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/model-apps
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/mcp-apps
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/code-apps
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/mobile-apps
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-apps-mobile-extension
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/canvas-apps
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-automate
    copilot --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/process-intelligence
    ```

Claude Code:

```bash
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-pages
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/model-apps
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/mcp-apps
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/code-apps
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/mobile-apps
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-apps-mobile-extension
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/canvas-apps
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-automate
    claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/process-intelligence
    ```

For Process Intelligence, first follow its [setup instructions](plugins/process-intelligence/README.md#installation),
including the explicit profile and absolute plugin root needed to avoid duplicate workspace MCP loads.

## Running Without Interruption

Plugins in this repo may invoke multiple tools (file edits, shell commands, MCP servers) during a session, which can result in frequent approval prompts. Use the options below to reduce or eliminate these interruptions.

> **Warning**: Auto-approval options give the agent the same access you have on your machine. Only use these in trusted or sandboxed environments.

### GitHub Copilot CLI

#### Option 1 — Allow specific tools (recommended)

Pre-approve only the tools your workflow needs:

```bash
copilot --allow-tool 'write' --allow-tool 'shell(npm run build)' --allow-tool 'shell(pac *)'
```

#### Option 2 — Allow all tools in Copilot

```bash
copilot --allow-all-tools
```

To allow everything except dangerous commands:

```bash
copilot --allow-all-tools --deny-tool 'shell(rm)' --deny-tool 'shell(git push)'
```

See the [Copilot CLI docs](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/use-copilot-agents/use-copilot-cli) for the full reference.

### Claude Code

#### Option 1 — Permission mode (recommended)

Set the `acceptEdits` mode to auto-approve file edits while still prompting for shell commands:

```jsonc
// .claude/settings.json (project-level) or ~/.claude/settings.json (user-level)
{
  "defaultMode": "acceptEdits",
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(npm run *)",
      "Bash(git *)",
      "Bash(pac *)"
      // add other commands your workflow needs
    ]
  }
}
```

#### Option 2 — Allow all tools

Press <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> during a session to cycle to **auto-accept** mode, or launch with:

```bash
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
```

See the [Claude Code permissions docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions) for the full reference.

```

The `.claude-plugin` files are compatibility mirrors for users who subscribed
before the Open Plugins migration. The root legacy marketplace mirrors
`marketplace.json`, and per-plugin legacy manifests mirror `.plugin/plugin.json`.
The shared marketplace keeps marketplace-level `owner` and `metadata`, while each
plugin entry is intentionally just `name` plus repository-root-relative `source`.
Plugin descriptions, versions, licenses, and keywords are controlled from each
plugin's `.plugin/plugin.json`. This keeps existing subscriptions updating without
duplicating display/update metadata.

Plugins maintained in other repositories, such as `dataverse`, use a remote `source` object instead of a path.
Copilot CLI reads `marketplace.json` and Claude Code reads `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, and they spell a plugin in a repository subdirectory differently.
So `marketplace.json` uses `"source": "github"` with `repo` and `path`, and the legacy file uses `"source": "git-subdir"` with `url` and `path`.
`scripts/validate-legacy-compatibility.js` enforces that pairing.

## Telemetry

Power Pages, Mobile Apps, Model Apps, and Power Automate ship 1DS telemetry code, but their committed configurations and event schemas differ. All four are enabled and default-on. Power Pages events can include Dataverse organization and Entra tenant GUIDs when PAC is signed in, plus the signed-in user's Entra object ID when PAC exposes it. Power Pages also records approved create-site/localization choices, canonical locales, public localization package names and versions, stable validation failure codes, and localization completion data. It never records site names, free-text requirements, paths, prompts, raw errors, evidence URLs, or private-use locale subtags. Mobile Apps excludes those identity fields and records its documented invocation, project-instance, checkpoint, and App Insights selection fields. Model Apps events can include organization and tenant GUIDs but exclude the signed-in user's Entra object ID. Power Automate records the same identity fields as Power Pages from its skill hooks, and its bundled MCP server and CLI additionally record a per-invocation outcome (success or failure), duration, and, on failure, the error's class name and code — never the error message. Power Automate provisions public-cloud ingestion only, so events outside public cloud stay in the local mirror.

For an enabled plugin, users opt out of transmission via `/<plugin>:telemetry off` (for example, `/power-pages:telemetry off`), stored in `~/.power-platform-skills/config.json`. The local diagnostic mirror is still written after this transmission-only opt-out. Each adopting plugin also honors `POWER_PLATFORM_SKILLS_TELEMETRY_<PLUGIN>_OPTOUT` for automation and CI. The environment variable has highest precedence and disables transmission regardless of the saved command choice. See the [shared telemetry guide](shared/telemetry/README.md) for the full field list, current plugin states, geo-routing behavior, kill-switch semantics, and local-mirror behavior.
