Adds Microsoft Copilot Studio connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when invoking Copilot Studio agents, sending prompts to agents, or integrating agent responses.

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):
Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Microsoft Copilot Studio connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.
pa app add data-source --connector microsoftcopilotstudio -c <connection-id>
Ask the user which Copilot Studio agent they want to invoke and what operations they need.
Agent Setup Prerequisites (manual steps the user must complete in Copilot Studio):
https://...api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/cr3e1_myAgent/conversations?... — the agent name is cr3e1_myAgent.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 -- execute an agent and wait for the response:
Use the ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 operation (path: /proactivecopilot/executeAsyncV2). This is the only endpoint that reliably returns agent responses synchronously. It is the same endpoint used by Power Automate's "Execute Agent and wait" action.
const result = await MicrosoftCopilotStudioService.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2({
message: "Your prompt or data here", // Can be a JSON string
notificationUrl: "https://notificationurlplaceholder" // Required by API but unused; any URL works
});
// Response structure:
// result.responses — Array of response strings from the agent
// result.conversationId — The conversation ID
// result.lastResponse — The last response from the agent
// result.completed — Boolean indicating if the agent finished
Important: Agents often return responses as JSON strings. Parse the responses array to extract meaningful data:
const agentResponse = result.responses?.[0];
if (agentResponse) {
const parsed = JSON.parse(agentResponse);
// Extract specific fields, e.g., parsed.trend_summary
}
Use Grep to find specific methods in the generated service file (generated files can be very large — see connector-reference.md).
/execute) -- fire-and-forget, only returns ConversationId, not the actual response. Do NOT use this./executeAsync) -- returns 502 "Cannot read server response" errors. Do NOT use this./conversations/{ConversationId}) -- only works after /execute, which doesn't provide responses. Do NOT use this.conversationId, ConversationId, conversationID.npm run build
Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, agent name configured, configured operations, build status.
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations.

Replace with description of the skill and when Claude should use it.
Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
Take microsoft/add-mcscopilot from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
