Power Platform Skills

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

Overview

This repository is a plugin marketplace containing Claude Code/GitHub Copilot 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):

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):

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 (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI)
• Registers the plugin marketplace and installs all listed plugins
• Enables auto-update so plugins stay current

Manual Installation

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

1. Add the marketplace

   /plugin marketplace add microsoft/power-platform-skills
   

2. Install the desired plugin

   /plugin install power-pages@power-platform-skills
   /plugin install model-apps@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)

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)

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

Skills: /app-builder (Preview) 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

MCP Apps (plugins/mcp-apps)

Generate interactive MCP App widgets for MCP tools.

Stack: HTML widgets using the MCP Apps protocol

Code Apps (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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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.

Claude Code

Option 1 — Permission mode (recommended)

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

// .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 Shift+Tab during a session to cycle to auto-accept mode, or launch with:

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

See the Claude Code permissions docs for the full reference.

GitHub Copilot CLI

Option 1 — Allow specific tools (recommended)

Pre-approve only the tools your workflow needs:

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

Option 2 — Allow all tools in Copilot

copilot --allow-all-tools

To allow everything except dangerous commands:

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

See the Copilot CLI docs 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.

Telemetry

Power Pages and Model Apps ship 1DS telemetry code, but their committed configurations have different states. Power Pages telemetry is enabled and default-on; its usage 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. Model Apps ships hard-disabled (disabled: true), so it currently transmits no events and writes no local telemetry mirror. If Model Apps is enabled later, its events can include organization and tenant GUIDs but exclude the signed-in user's Entra object ID.

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 shared/telemetry/README.md for the full field list, kill-switch semantics, and local-mirror behavior.
