Guide the user to add a data source, connection, or API connector to a Canvas App via Power Apps Studio, then verify and continue. USE WHEN the user asks to add a data source, add a connection, add an API, add a connector, connect to SharePoint / Dataverse / SQL / Excel / OneDrive / Teams / Office 365, or any similar request to make new data available to the app. DO NOT USE WHEN the user is asking to list or describe existing data sources — call list_data_sources or list_apis directly instead.

Creates or edits a Power Apps Canvas App through the Canvas Authoring MCP coauthoring session. Handles new app generation from requirements, simple inline edits, and complex multi-screen changes with parallel screen builders. Triggers on requests to create, build, generate, modify, update, change, or edit a Canvas App or .pa.yaml files.

Configure the Canvas Authoring MCP server for the current coauthoring session. USE WHEN "configure MCP", "set up MCP server", "MCP not working", "connect Canvas Apps MCP", "canvas-authoring not available", "MCP not configured", "set up canvas apps". DO NOT USE WHEN prerequisites are missing — direct the user to install .NET 10 SDK first.

[DEPRECATED — use canvas-app instead] Generate a complete Power Apps canvas app.

Use this skill when the user wants to "report a bug", "file an issue", "report an issue", "submit a bug report", or report any problem with the canvas-apps plugin to the GitHub repository.

Activates and provisions a Power Pages website in a Power Platform environment via the Power Platform REST API. Use when the user wants to activate, provision, turn on, or enable a Power Pages website or portal.

Integrates Power Automate cloud flows into a Power Pages site. Lists available flows, suggests relevant ones based on intent, identifies scenarios and web roles, creates metadata files, and generates client-side code to call flows. Handles both new flow registration and adding already-registered flows to additional pages without re-creating metadata.

Use when the user wants to create, build, or scaffold a new Power Pages website or portal.

Creates and configures web roles for a Power Pages code site. Web roles control access and permissions for site users, including authenticated and anonymous roles. Use when the user wants to create, add, set up, or manage web roles for their site.

Triggers a Power Platform Pipeline deployment run for a Power Pages solution. Selects a target stage, validates the package, optionally configures deployment settings (environment variables, connection references), then deploys and polls for completion.

Deploys an existing Power Pages code site to a Power Pages environment using PAC CLI. Handles tooling verification, authentication, environment confirmation, building, and uploading. Use when the user wants to deploy, upload, or publish their code site.

Surfaces PAC CLI upload errors and Dataverse async operation errors, pattern-matches against a known failure catalog, and optionally auto-fixes identified issues. Use when asked to: "diagnose deployment", "debug deployment", "deployment failed", "show deployment errors", "fix deployment issues", "show upload logs", "why did my deploy fail", or "troubleshoot upload".

Ensures the tenant has a usable Power Platform Pipelines host environment before any pipeline operation runs. Detects host state via the same resolution order as the Power Apps UI (org-db setting → BAP env metadata → default-custom-host setting); if any existing host (Platform or Custom) is found, uses it. If no host is bound to the source env, provisions a new **Platform Host** (recommended, idempotent) or a **Custom Host** via the BAP env-create API with the `D365_ProjectHost` template, or ...

Exports a Dataverse solution containing Power Pages site components as a zip file, ready for deployment to another environment. Use when asked to: "export solution", "download solution", "export managed", "export unmanaged", "package for deployment", "create solution zip", "export site package", or "build deployment artifact".

Force-links a development or target environment to a Power Platform Pipelines host, overriding any existing association with a previous host. Use when creating a deploymentenvironments record fails with "this environment is already associated with another pipelines host", or when intentionally migrating an environment from one host to another (e.g., Platform Host → Custom Host, or between two Custom Hosts). Calls the documented `ManageEnvironmentStamp` Dataverse action (the API behind the "Fo...

Use when asked to: "import solution", "install solution", "deploy solution zip", "push solution to environment", "deploy to staging", "deploy to production", or "install site in new environment".

Analyzes the user's business problem and recommends the right backend integration approach — Web API, Server Logic, Cloud Flows, or a combination — for a Power Pages site, then routes to the appropriate specialized skill. Use when the user wants to add backend integration, connect to data, or needs help deciding which backend approach to use.

Integrates Power Pages Web API into a site's frontend code with proper permissions and deployment.

Use when the user wants to add Web API calls, connect to Dataverse, or add data fetching to their frontend.

Inspects and configures the web application firewall (WAF) in front of a Power Pages production site. Lists the current state, recommends enabling protection when it is off, and walks the user through adding, updating, or removing custom rules — IP blocks, country blocks, path blocks, and rate limits. Use when the user wants to turn on WAF, block traffic by IP or country, rate-limit login or signup pages, protect pages from brute-force attempts, restrict access to specific paths, review the c...

Inspects and configures the security headers a Power Pages site sends to browsers — Content Security Policy, frame and clickjacking protection, cross-origin sharing, cookie behavior, and related site settings. Identifies gaps and walks the user through fixes. Use when the user wants to review headers, fix CSP errors, allow embedding in another site, control cross-origin access, harden cookie settings, or asks "are my browser settings safe?", "fix my CSP", "set up CORS" — even if they only men...

Creates an ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) plan for deploying a Power Pages site across environments. Gathers your promotion strategy, target environments, and approval requirements upfront, generates a visual HTML plan document for review, then — after your approval — executes the plan by calling setup-solution, setup-pipeline, export-solution, and deploy-pipeline (or import-solution) in sequence. Use when asked to: "plan my alm", "set up alm", "create deployment plan", "plan my deplo...
