Deploy
Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.
Workflow
- Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank
Step 1: Check Memory Bank
Check for memory-bank.md in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.
Step 2: Build
npm run build
If the build fails:
- TS6133 (unused import): Remove the unused import and retry.
- Other TypeScript errors: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.
Verify dist/ exists with index.html before continuing.
Step 3: Deploy
Ask the user: "Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app." Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.
Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as
$PA app push(npx --no-install pa …), never a barepa. Onpower-apps-only projects, translate topower-apps push.
pa app push
Capture the app URL from the output if present.
If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:
- Auth error / token expired →
pa auth logout(orpower-apps logoutonpower-apps-only projects), then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login. - Environment mismatch → update
environmentIdinpower.config.jsonto the correct value and retry.
Step 4: Update Memory Bank
If memory-bank.md exists, update:
- Last deployed timestamp
- App URL (if captured)

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
(Preview) Builds and edits a model-driven Power Apps app from a natural-language intent — tables, columns, relationships, adaptive forms with sub-grids, views, Choice-column charts, generative page intents for overview/dashboard surfaces (page `.tsx` generated in generate-pages after plan approval), and an app module + sitemap — via the headless cds-maker-sdk. Runs an interactive, multi-turn authoring flow (env selection, jobs-to-be-done first, then design-only App Spec authoring across confirmed levels, guardrail lint, plan-mode approval, generate-pages, full build) and a narrated build, and can download a deployed app back into an editable spec to change it. Use when the user says "build an app for X", "create a model-driven app", "make me an app to manage Y", or "edit/add to my app". This skill stands alone and does not require /genpage — but for a standalone generative page added to an app that already exists, use /genpage instead.

Use when the user wants to enable offline mode for a Power Apps mobile app and create a Mobile Offline Profile in Dataverse — designs per-table row scope, relationships, columns, and sync frequency through a 3-gate approval flow.

Use when the user wants to design or redesign the Dataverse schema and connector plan for an existing mobile app, or has an ER diagram (image, Mermaid, or text) to apply. Skip when the user is creating a brand-new app — /create-mobile-app handles the data model inline.
