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:

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

   claude --plugin-dir /path/to/power-platform-skills/plugins/power-apps

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.
