Genpage

microsoft/genpage

Creates, updates, and deploys Power Apps generative pages for model-driven apps using React v17, TypeScript, and Fluent UI V9. Orchestrates specialist agents for planning, entity creation, and code generation. Use it when user asks to build, retrieve, or update a page in an existing Microsoft Power Apps model-driven app. Use it when user mentions "generative page", "page in a model-driven", or "genux". This skill stands alone and does not require /app-builder — but if the user wants a whole app built (tables, forms, views, sitemap) rather than pages for an app that already exists, use /app-builder instead.

Overview

This skill orchestrates specialist agents across the create and edit flows:

Create flow:

  • genpage-planner — validates prerequisites, gathers requirements, detects what

entities and apps exist, presents a plan for approval, writes genpage-plan.md.

May pause and return connector_discovery_required (see 2).

  • genpage-connector-builder — top-level orchestrator dispatch for connector

feature-gating and discovery; writes connector-bindings.md + connectors.json.

Runs after the planner has resolved create-vs-edit and the target environment

(discovery is mutating), then the planner is re-invoked with its contract.

  • genpage-entity-builder — creates Dataverse entities (tables, columns,

relationships, choices, sample data) via the plugin's Node.js Web API scripts

  • genpage-page-builder — generates one complete .tsx file per page; multiple

builders run in parallel for multi-page requests

Edit flow:

  • genpage-connector-builder — top-level orchestrator dispatch when an edit adds,

replaces, discovers, or clears connector bindings; preserves unchanged bindings

when the feature gate is OFF

  • genpage-edit-planner — reads the downloaded page artifacts, gathers change

requirements, presents an edit plan, writes genpage-edit-plan.md

You (the skill) coordinate the agents and own connector dispatch, app creation,

RuntimeTypes generation, deployment, browser verification, and the inline

application of planned edits.

Development Standards

  • React 17 + TypeScript — all generated code
  • Fluent UI V9@fluentui/react-components exclusively (DatePicker from @fluentui/react-datepicker-compat, TimePicker from @fluentui/react-timepicker-compat)
  • Single file architecture — all components, utilities, styles in one .tsx file
  • No external libraries — only React, Fluent UI V9, approved Fluent icons, D3.js for charts
  • Type-safe DataAPI — use RuntimeTypes when Dataverse entities are involved
  • Responsive design — flexbox, relative units, never 100vh/100vw
  • Accessibility — WCAG AA, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, semantic HTML
  • Complete code — no placeholders, TODOs, or ellipses in final output

Instructions

Follow these phases in order for every /genpage invocation.

Phase 0: Create Working Directory

Derive a short folder name from the user's requirements:

  • Extract the page name or a 2-4 word summary from $ARGUMENTS
  • Convert to kebab-case (e.g., "Candidate Tracker" → candidate-tracker)
  • Create the folder: mkdir -p <folder-name>
  • Resolve its absolute path — this is the working directory for all subsequent phases

Phase 0.5: Initialize Local-Dev Manifest

Write package.json and genpage.d.ts into the working directory so the

developer can npm install and get IntelliSense, type-checking, and "go to

definition" in their editor. Versions come from

references/supported-dependencies.md (single source of truth:

scripts/lib/supported-dependencies.js).

node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/generate-page-manifest.js" <working-dir> <kebab-slug>
  • <kebab-slug> is the same slug used for the working directory.
  • Add --features charts,datepicker,timepicker (comma-separated) only when

the requirements clearly call for them; otherwise omit and keep the

manifest lean.

  • The script is idempotent — it skips files that already exist. Pass

--force to overwrite (used in regeneration flows when versions drift).

  • Output is a JSON summary on stdout; pipe to stderr for visibility but do

not block the workflow if the script returns non-zero — the manifest is a

dev-ergonomics aid, not part of the deployed artifact.

Phase 1: Plan

> **⚠️ CRITICAL — you MUST invoke genpage-planner via the Task tool. You MUST

> NOT inline the planner's questions yourself with AskUserQuestion.**

>

> The planner is not optional or skippable. It runs:

> 1. Prerequisite validation (node --version, pac help version >= 2.7.0)

> 2. Auth verification (pac auth list, environment selection)

> 3. The structured "Create new / Edit existing" question (via AskUserQuestion

> inside the planner subagent, not here)

> 4. Language detection (pac model list-languages) — only on new-page path

> 5. Entity existence detection (pac model list-tables --search)

> 6. App detection (pac model list) with proper selection prompts

> 7. Plan-mode presentation and approval

> 8. Writes genpage-plan.md to the working directory

>

> Reasons to NEVER ask "new or edit?" yourself before invoking the planner:

> - You would skip prereq + auth (the planner is the only thing that runs them)

> - The structured question gives the user labeled options; an inline free-text

> prompt forces them to guess

> - The planner returns { "action": "edit" } as a contract — your inline

> question can't produce that signal cleanly

>

> Even if $ARGUMENTS looks like it tells you the intent, **still invoke the

> planner**. Pass the intent in the prompt — the planner uses it to skip its

> own Question 1 if appropriate, but the prereq/auth/env steps still run.

Steps
  • Invoke genpage-planner via Task with the prompt below. Connector discovery

has not run yet, so tell the planner the contract is the literal

No connector bindings. and that discovery is available on request (see 1a).

  • Wait for it to finish (it returns a summary).
  • If the return includes { "action": "connector_discovery_required" }, invoke

genpage-connector-builder with the returned intent — Mode: create for a

new page, Mode: edit if the planner also reported an edit — using the

environment URL the planner resolved, then invoke genpage-planner again with

the builder's ## Connector Bindings contract and connectors.json status.

  • If the return includes { "action": "edit" }, jump to the Edit Flow section.
  • Otherwise the planner has written genpage-plan.md. Proceed to Phase 2.
1a. Connector discovery is orchestrator-owned and never speculative

genpage-connector-builder is dispatched only by this top-level orchestrator,

not by genpage-planner. This keeps the connectors feature gate in one agent

while avoiding nested Task calls from the planner.

Never run discovery before the planner returns — not even when $ARGUMENTS

obviously mentions SharePoint, Teams, Office 365 or a custom REST source.

Discovery is a mutating operation: it can create a connection reference. The

planner is what resolves (a) create vs. edit and (b) which environment, and it may

resolve either differently from the active pac auth profile. A connection

reference created in the wrong environment, or in create mode for what turns out

to be an edit, cannot be undone by discarding the local outputs.

So the sequence is always: plan first, then discover, then re-plan.

  • Every first planner invocation gets the literal contract No connector bindings.

and is told discovery has not run.

  • When the planner determines connector-backed data is needed — from $ARGUMENTS

or from its own user clarification — it returns

{ "action": "connector_discovery_required", "intent": "..." } **together with

the resolved action and environment URL**.

  • Only then dispatch genpage-connector-builder with that mode, that environment

URL, the working directory and ${PLUGIN_ROOT}. Read

<working-dir>/connector-bindings.md and verify <working-dir>/connectors.json

is a bare JSON array, then re-run the planner with the refreshed contract.

The builder remains the single owner of the connectors flag: it probes first,

writes No connector bindings. + [] when the flag is OFF, and performs all

connection discovery only when the flag is ON.

Invocation prompt

Pass a prompt that includes:

  • The user's requirements: $ARGUMENTS
  • The working directory (absolute path from Phase 0)
  • The plugin root path: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}
  • The connector contract: the full body of <working-dir>/connector-bindings.md,

or the literal No connector bindings. when discovery was not needed or the

feature gate was OFF

  • The connector upload file status: <working-dir>/connectors.json exists and is

a bare JSON array, or no connectors.json; omit --connectors

Example:

> You are the genpage-planner agent. Plan generative page(s) for the following requirements:

>

> [paste $ARGUMENTS here verbatim, or "no arguments provided — gather from user"]

>

> Working directory: [absolute path from Phase 0]

> Plugin root: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}

>

> Connector discovery is orchestrator-owned. Do not invoke

> genpage-connector-builder from inside the planner. Use this as the entire

> ## Connector Bindings section of the plan:

>

> [paste connector-bindings.md body, or No connector bindings.]

>

> Connector upload file: [absolute path to connectors.json, or none — omit --connectors]

>

> If your clarification questions reveal connector-backed data that is not covered

> by the connector contract above, stop and return

> `{ "action": "connector_discovery_required", "intent": "<connector need>",

> "resolvedAction": "create" | "edit", "envUrl": "<the environment you resolved>" }`

> instead of trying to discover connectors yourself. resolvedAction and envUrl

> are required — discovery is dispatched against exactly those.

>

> Follow the instructions in your agent file. Validate prereqs, confirm auth, ask

> the new/edit question via AskUserQuestion, then proceed accordingly. Write

> genpage-plan.md to the working directory if creating. Return the page list,

> entity status, app selection, and any { "action": "edit" } signal when complete.

Phase 2: Create Entities (Conditional)

Read genpage-plan.md from the working directory. Check the Entity Creation Required

section.

If the section literally says "No entity creation required — all entities already exist":

Skip to Phase 3.

If entities need creating:

2a. Pre-flight: az + pac + Dataverse

Entity creation runs through the plugin's Node.js Web API scripts using az for

auth, and the az and pac identities should normally match. Run the

consolidated pre-flight:

node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-auth.js" --require-pac

Genpage deploys pages via pac model genpage, so pass --require-pac to keep a missing pac login

a hard blocker (the app-builder skill omits the flag — its build path only needs the az token).

It returns a single JSON object:

{
  "ok": true | false,
  "blocker": null | "az_missing" | "az_not_logged_in" | "pac_not_logged_in"
                 | "no_env_url" | "whoami_403" | "whoami_401" | "whoami_error",
  "message": "human-readable next step",
  "warnings": ["..."],
  "azUser": "...", "pacUser": "...", "envUrl": "...",
  "identitiesMatch": true | false,
  "whoAmI": { "ok": true, "userId": "...", "organizationId": "..." }
}
  • ok: true and identitiesMatch: true → proceed to 2b.
  • ok: true and identitiesMatch: false → proceed to 2b but surface the

message to the user as an inline warning ("az is X, pac is Y — WhoAmI works

for now, but if entity creation later returns 403, run the suggested

az login --username to align them").

  • ok: false → show the message field to the user verbatim and

stop the workflow. The script already includes a fix-it command for every

blocker (run az login, etc.).

Capture envUrl from the result — Phase 2b passes it to the entity-builder.

2b. Invoke entity-builder

Invoke the genpage-entity-builder agent via the Task tool. Pass in the prompt:

  • Path to genpage-plan.md
  • Working directory (absolute path)
  • Plugin root: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}
  • Dataverse env URL (from pac org who)

The entity-builder reads Solution and Publisher Prefix directly from the

plan's ## Environment — no need to re-thread them here.

Wait for completion. The builder writes a transactional log at

<working-dir>/entity-creation-log.md for recovery on failure.

Phase 3: App Creation/Selection

Read genpage-plan.md for the app decision and the Solution line in

## Environment.

If "create new":

pac model create --name "App Name" --solution "<Solution unique name>" --publish

--solution is mandatory. pac model create errors out with

"The given solution name is not valid: ()" if you omit it — its claimed

"active solution" fallback does not work in practice.

--publish is mandatory. Without it the new appmodule stays in draft and

the genux runtime URL errors with "app not published".

  • Use the plan's Solution value verbatim. The planner always writes one

(default fallback is literally Default).

  • If the plan is somehow missing Solution, pass --solution Default

every Dataverse env has a built-in "Default Solution" by that unique name.

Store the new app-id for Phase 6.

If existing app-id: Use it directly. pac model create is not called, so

the Solution line is informational only for this phase.

Phase 4: Generate RuntimeTypes (Conditional)

If any page uses Dataverse entities, generate the TypeScript schema:

pac model genpage generate-types --data-sources "entity1,entity2,..." --output-file <working-dir>/RuntimeTypes.ts

> Windows + Bash: Always use forward slashes in file paths (e.g., D:/temp/RuntimeTypes.ts).

After generating, read the RuntimeTypes.ts file to verify it generated correctly.

For mock data pages only: Skip this phase.

Phase 4.5: Connector Bindings (Conditional)

Re-probe the feature gate here — do not rely on the plan content alone. A plan

authored while the flag was ON must not deploy connectors after it is turned OFF:

node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/feature-flags.js" connectors

If it prints disabled: connectors are OFF. Skip this phase entirely — do not

create or pass connectors.json, and never add --connectors on upload —

regardless of what the plan's ## Connector Bindings section says. (Backstop:

list-connections.js / create-connection-reference.js also fail closed with

exit 3 if invoked while OFF.)

Carry this decision into code generation. The probe result is `Connectors:

disabled / Connectors: enabled` for the rest of the run, and Phase 5 must pass

it verbatim in every page-builder dispatch. When it is disabled, every downstream

step treats the plan's ## Connector Bindings section as if it read

No connector bindings. — otherwise the generated page would call a connector that

this run deliberately never binds, and the page fails at runtime instead of simply

omitting the feature.

If it prints enabled: read the plan's ## Connector Bindings section and

treat it as bindings only when it contains an actual binding table (a

| Logical Name | … header with at least one data row). If the section is

No connector bindings., empty, missing, or malformed, treat the page as having

no connectors and skip this phase.

When there are real bindings, the genpage-connector-builder agent already wrote

<working-dir>/connectors.json during planning — verify it exists and matches the

plan table. If it is missing, derive it from the plan table as a **bare JSON

array** (never the { "connectorBindings": [...] } object wrapper — that is the

deployed page config.json shape that pac writes):

[
  {
    "logicalName": "new_uxtest_sharepoint",
    "connectorId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_sharepointonline",
    "dataset": "https://host.sharepoint.com/sites/x",
    "tables": ["5709dd6f-c73e-4079-ad23-2334e45e0e13"],
    "tableDisplayNames": ["Pet"]
  },
  {
    "logicalName": "new_uxtest_msnweather",
    "connectorId": "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apis/shared_msnweather",
    "dataset": "",
    "operations": ["CurrentWeather"]
  }
]

Do not write connection IDs into connectors.json — the importing maker/admin

fills env-specific ConnectionId values through solution deployment settings.

Phase 5: Build Pages (Parallel)

Read genpage-plan.md and extract the pages table.

5a. Validate the plan before dispatch

Before invoking any builders, verify:

  • At least one page exists in the ## Pages table
  • Every page has a ### [Page Name] subsection in ## Per-Page Specifications
  • All filenames in the ## Pages table are unique. If any are duplicated,

rewrite the plan appending -1, -2, etc. before dispatch. Duplicate filenames

cause silent last-writer-wins data loss under parallel execution.

See ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/plan-schema.md for the full contract.

5b. Single-page fast path (skip Task dispatch when N=1)

If the plan's Pages table contains exactly one row, do NOT dispatch a Task

subagent. Inline the page-builder workflow directly in the orchestrator:

  • Read ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/rules.md
  • Read the sample listed in the plan's ## Relevant Samples
  • Only when the Phase 4.5 probe printed enabled and the plan's

## Connector Bindings section contains an actual binding table (a

| Logical Name | … header with at least one data row), also read

${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/connectors.md. Treat a No connector bindings.

sentinel, an empty/missing/malformed section, or a disabled probe as

having no connectors (same contract as Phase 4.5 and genpage-page-builder).

  • If the plan's Per-Page Specification has Needs caching: true, also read

${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/data-caching.md

  • If the plan's ## Environment indicates non-English languages, also read

${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/localization.md

  • Read genpage-plan.md (already in working directory) and RuntimeTypes.ts

if Data mode is dataverse

  • Write the .tsx file to <working-dir>/<filename>.tsx following all rules
  • After writing, Grep every named import from @fluentui/react-icons against

${PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/verified-icons.txt (one Grep per name).

Rewrite any unverified names with the closest verified alternative; do not

load the full icon list into context

  • Proceed to Phase 6

This saves ~5-15s of Task overhead and ~3K tokens that would otherwise be

duplicated in a subagent context.

5c. Multi-page: invoke page-builders in parallel

If the plan's Pages table contains 2+ rows, invoke a genpage-page-builder

agent via the Task tool per page. Fire all invocations in a single message

for parallel execution.

For each page, pass a prompt that includes:

  • Page name (e.g., "Candidate Tracker")
  • Target file name (e.g., "candidate-tracker.tsx")
  • Absolute path to genpage-plan.md
  • Data mode (see below) — either a RuntimeTypes path or an explicit mock flag
  • Connectors: enabled or disabled — the Phase 4.5 probe result, verbatim
  • Working directory
  • Plugin root: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}

For Dataverse pages, include the RuntimeTypes line:

> You are the genpage-page-builder agent. Generate the [Page Name] page.

>

> - Target file: [filename].tsx

> - Plan document: [absolute path to genpage-plan.md]

> - Data mode: dataverse

> - Connectors: [enabled|disabled from Phase 4.5]

> - RuntimeTypes: [absolute path to RuntimeTypes.ts]

> - Working directory: [absolute path from Phase 0]

> - Plugin root: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}

>

> Follow the instructions in your agent file. Write [filename].tsx and return your

> result when done.

For mock data pages, omit the RuntimeTypes line and set Data mode: mock:

> You are the genpage-page-builder agent. Generate the [Page Name] page.

>

> - Target file: [filename].tsx

> - Plan document: [absolute path to genpage-plan.md]

> - Data mode: mock

> - Connectors: [enabled|disabled from Phase 4.5]

> - Working directory: [absolute path from Phase 0]

> - Plugin root: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}

>

> Follow the instructions in your agent file. Write [filename].tsx and return your

> result when done.

Wait for all page-builder tasks to complete before proceeding.

Phase 6: Deploy

For each .tsx file produced, deploy to Power Apps.

If Phase 4.5 wrote <working-dir>/connectors.json, first pre-flight the active

PAC CLI:

pac model genpage upload --help

The help output must contain --connectors. If it does not, stop and surface:

"connector deploy requires a pac build with `pac model genpage upload

--connectors` — build from PowerPlatform-Scale-AdminTools or update pac." Do

not silently drop bindings.

Connector deployment matrix:

  • Create (new page): include --connectors "<working-dir>/connectors.json"

with the first upload --add-to-sitemap.

  • Edit — connectors changed, added, or one removed: write the full desired

binding set to connectors.json and include --connectors with

upload --page-id <id> (full replace).

  • Edit — no connector change: omit --connectors; pac preserves existing

bindings. Never pass a stale or empty file on an unrelated edit.

  • Delete all connectors: write [] to connectors.json and pass

--connectors so pac clears the page's connectorBindings.

Copy the upload commands below exactly — --app-id, --code-file, --prompt, --agent-message are all required and must use these exact flag names.

Log the full command verbatim into workflow-log.md under a ## Phase 6 — Deploy section before invoking it. Including --prompt and all other flags. The eval harness greps the log for these tokens — a terse summary like Command: pac model genpage upload --add-to-sitemap will fail the --prompt scoping assertion. Format:

## Phase 6 — Deploy
- Command: `pac model genpage upload --app-id <id> --code-file <path> --data-sources '<entities>' --prompt "<full prompt>" --model <model-id> --name "<page name>" --agent-message "<description>" --add-to-sitemap`
- Result: page-id = <returned-id>, status = success

When connector bindings are present, the logged command must also include

--connectors "<working-dir>/connectors.json".

--prompt semantics
  • First upload (--add-to-sitemap, no --page-id): full page description

from plan's ## User Requirements.

  • Any subsequent upload (--page-id, no --add-to-sitemap): delta only —

the changes in this upload, written like a commit message, never a

re-statement of the original.

Applies in Phase 6 updates, Phase 6.5 PAGEREF re-uploads, Phase 7.5 fix

re-deploys, and the entire edit flow.

For Dataverse entity pages (first upload — create):
pac model genpage upload `
  --app-id <app-id> `
  --code-file <working-dir>/<file>.tsx `
  --name "Page Display Name" `
  --data-sources "entity1,entity2" `
  --connectors "<working-dir>/connectors.json" `
  --prompt "<Full page description from plan's ## User Requirements>" `
  --model "<current-model-id>" `
  --agent-message "Description of what was built and any relevant details" `
  --add-to-sitemap

Omit the --connectors line when Phase 4.5 did not write connectors.json.

For mock data pages: Same but omit --data-sources.

For updating existing pages (subsequent upload):

Use --page-id, omit --add-to-sitemap, and scope --prompt to the delta only:

pac model genpage upload `
  --app-id <app-id> `
  --page-id <page-id> `
  --code-file <working-dir>/<file>.tsx `
  --data-sources "entity1,entity2" `
  --connectors "<working-dir>/connectors.json" `
  --prompt "<Only the changes in this upload, e.g. 'Add a search box and sort by company name'>" `
  --model "<current-model-id>" `
  --agent-message "Description of what was changed in this upload"

For updates, include the --connectors line only when this upload intentionally

replaces or clears connector bindings; otherwise omit it to preserve the

deployed page's current bindings.

Phase 6.5: Navigation Fix-Up (Multi-Page Only)

Runs only when the plan has 2+ pages AND any built .tsx contains a PAGEREF_

token. Page-builders emit pageId: "PAGEREF_<filename-without-tsx>" as a

placeholder because GUIDs don't exist until after Phase 6 (see Rule 13). This

phase substitutes the real GUIDs.

Steps
  • Build filename-without-tsx → page-id map from Phase 6 upload output.
  • Sort keys by length descending so PAGEREF_pet can't match inside

PAGEREF_pet-gallery.

  • For each .tsx in <working-dir>/*.tsx (top level only, no recursion),

replace every quoted "PAGEREF_<name>" (must be in double quotes — that's

the format page-builders emit) with "<page-id-guid>".

  • If a placeholder doesn't match any map key (typo, missing sibling), stop

and report — never silently ship the literal string.

  • Re-upload only the files that had at least one replacement. Use the update form

of pac model genpage upload (--page-id, no --add-to-sitemap). Per the

"--prompt semantics" rule in Phase 6, this is an update, so --prompt

describes the delta only — not the original page description:

   pac model genpage upload `
     --app-id <app-id> `
     --page-id <page-id-from-Phase-6> `
     --code-file <working-dir>/<file>.tsx `
     --data-sources "entity1,entity2" `
     --prompt "Resolve cross-page navigation placeholders to real page GUIDs (post-deploy fix-up)" `
     --model "<current-model-id>" `
     --agent-message "Replaced PAGEREF_<name> tokens with actual page IDs returned by Phase 6"

Pages with no PAGEREF_ strings need no second upload.

Phase 6.7: Solution Packaging (ALM, optional)

Runs only when the plan's ## Solution Packaging has Package into solution: true.

Adds the deployed app, the GenPage(s), and any connection references to the

target solution so they travel cross-environment.

  • Ensure the solution exists — create it only if it doesn't already exist:

node ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/provision-solution.js <envUrl> <solutionUniqueName> "<Friendly Name>" [--publisher <uniqueName>]

It prints { "ok": true, "solutionId": …, "uniqueName": …, "publisherPrefix": … };

uniqueName must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, and

underscores. Without --publisher it resolves the environment's default publisher.

  • Add the app + GenPage(s) + connection references (pass the page-id(s) returned

by Phase 6 as --page-ids — the GenPage is added explicitly, it does NOT travel

with the app on its own):

node ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/add-page-to-solution.js <envUrl> <solutionUniqueName> <app-id> --page-ids "<page-id1,page-id2>" --connection-refs "<logicalName1,logicalName2>"

  • Log the command + result to workflow-log.md.

Cross-env note (verified 2026-07-10): the app (80) pulls the sitemap (62); the

GenPage uxagentproject (10372) is added explicitly and pulls its

uxagentprojectfile rows (10373, incl. config.json with connectorBindings);

each connectionreference (10158) is added so bindings resolve. At import the

deployer supplies env-specific ConnectionId per connection reference via

pac solution create-settings + pac solution import --settings-file.

Phase 7: Verify in Browser (Optional)

After successful deployment, ask the user via AskUserQuestion:

> "Would you like to verify the page(s) in the browser using Playwright?"

Options: Yes, verify in browser / Skip verification

  • If the user picks Skip verification → jump to Phase 8.
  • If the user picks Yes → read ${PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/genpage/verify-flow.md

for the full Playwright verification workflow (navigate, structural

verification including below-the-fold, interactive testing, screenshots,

fix-and-redeploy). The orchestrator only loads that file on demand to keep

context lean when verification is skipped.

Phase 8: Summary

By Phase 8 the workflow-log.md should already contain Phase 0 through Phase 7

sections written incrementally — the planner writes Phase 1 inside its agent

context, you (the orchestrator) write Phase 0 / 0.5 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 6.5 / 7 as

each runs, and the entity-builder and page-builder agents append their own

Phase 2 / 5 sections when invoked.

In Phase 8, append a final ## Phase 8 — Summary section to the same file:

## Phase 8 — Summary

| Page | File | Entities | Status |
|------|------|----------|--------|
| <Name> | <file>.tsx | <entities or "mock data"> | Deployed |

- App: <name> (<app-id>)
- Entities created: <list, or "none">
- Browser verification: <skipped | confirmed | failed: <reason>>

The log MUST contain command-level entries for every prereq / auth / question /

upload / script invocation — not just outcome summaries. The eval harness greps

the log for tokens like node --version, pac auth list, AskUserQuestion,

EnterPlanMode, --prompt, check-auth.js, etc. A decision-only log

(e.g., Decision: new page without the underlying AskUserQuestion) will

fail Layer 1 assertions even when the agent's behavior was correct.

Then present a final summary to the user:

## Genpage Complete

| Page | File | Entities | Status |
|------|------|----------|--------|
| [Name] | [file].tsx | [entities or "mock data"] | Deployed |

App: [app name] ([app-id])
Screenshots: [if verification was done]
Next steps: Share with team, iterate on design, create additional pages

Edit Flow

For the edit flow (triggered when the genpage-planner returns

{ "action": "edit" }), see edit-flow.md in this folder.

The edit flow has its own 8 phases (Edit Phase 1-8): discover and select target

app + page via pac model list + pac model genpage list, download, generate

RuntimeTypes if needed, invoke genpage-edit-planner, apply the edit inline,

deploy, verify, summarize.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/genpage from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

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.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npm. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
