Adds Azure DevOps connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when querying work items, creating bugs, managing pipelines, or making ADO API calls.
npx skillsauth add microsoft/power-platform-skills add-azuredevopsInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):
Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Azure DevOps 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.
npx power-apps add-data-source -a azuredevops -c <connection-id>
The generated code has a known issue: the HttpRequest method uses parameters as the parameter name, but the API expects body. Rename parameters to body in these 3 files:
Use the Edit tool to rename parameters to body in each file:
1. src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts:
Find the HttpRequest method. Rename the parameter and its usage:
// BEFORE (generated):
async HttpRequest(parameters: any) {
const params = { parameters: parameters, ... };
// AFTER (fixed):
async HttpRequest(body: any) {
const params = { body: body, ... };
2. .power/appschemas/dataSourceInfo.ts:
Find the visualstudioteamservices → HttpRequest → parameters section. Rename the property key:
// BEFORE (generated):
HttpRequest: {
parameters: {
parameters: { ... }
// AFTER (fixed):
HttpRequest: {
parameters: {
body: { ... }
3. .power/schemas/visualstudioteamservices/visualstudioteamservices.Schema.json:
Find the /{connectionId}/httprequest → post → parameters array. Change the name field:
// BEFORE (generated):
{ "name": "parameters", "in": "body", ... }
// AFTER (fixed):
{ "name": "body", "in": "body", ... }
Ask the user what Azure DevOps operations they need (query work items, create items, trigger pipelines, etc.).
HttpRequest -- make arbitrary ADO REST API calls:
await AzureDevOpsService.HttpRequest({
Uri: "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.2",
Method: "POST",
Body: JSON.stringify({
query:
"SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project"
})
});

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).
npm run build
Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, HttpRequest fix applied, build status.
tools
Adds Work IQ (M365 Copilot Search) to a Power Apps code app via the Work IQ Copilot MCP connector (shared_a365copilotchatmcp), then wires up a production-ready McpSession wrapper for AI-powered, knowledge-grounded search and chat. Use when integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot search/chat. The CopilotChat tool searches internal Microsoft 365 content (documents, emails, chats, sites, files) across your organization — prefer workload-specific tools (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Mail) when the workload is explicit; do not use it for general knowledge, news, public web, or external information.
tools
Use when the user wants to preview generated screens in a browser without starting Metro / a simulator — for example after /create-mobile-app finishes or after /edit-app regenerates a screen.
development
Use when the user wants to iterate on an existing generated Power Apps mobile app after /create-mobile-app: update the plan, data model, native capabilities, design, screens, generated app code, and preview without restarting the full project flow.
development
Creates and manages the brand design system for a Power Apps mobile app. Generates brand/design-system.md (source of truth), brand/tokens.ts (importable Tamagui tokens), and brand/design-system.html (visual gallery). Triggered at Step 6.5 of /create-mobile-app, or standalone via /design-system.
