List Connections
Finds or creates a Power Platform connection with the Power Apps CLI. Returns the Connection ID or Connection Reference that callers feed into npx power-apps add-data-source.
Workflow
- Get Connection → 2. Present Results
Step 1 — Get Connection
Use one of the supported paths below.
If the caller already provided a connection ID, validate the connector/API ID from context and return it as-is for --connection-id.
If the caller provided a connector API ID and needs a new connection, create it from the app root:
npx power-apps create-connection --api-id <api-id> --json
Use the returned connectionId for --connection-id <connectionId>. Optional display names are supported:
npx power-apps create-connection --api-id <api-id> --display-name '<display-name>' --json
Browser-based connection creation is disabled by default. If the connector is not SSO-eligible and the command reports that browser creation is disabled, tell the user to either set POWERAPPS_CLI_ENABLE_BROWSER_CONNECTION=true and rerun the command, or create the connection in the maker portal.
Step 1b — Fetch Connection References When Solution-Aware
If the caller provided a solution ID and needs a connection reference name, list connection references from the app root:
npx power-apps list-connection-references --solution-id <solution-id> --json
If a matching connection reference exists, return its reference name for --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If npx power-apps create-connection or list-connection-references fails because of auth, wrong user, multiple accounts, no output, or timeout, follow shared-instructions command-failure handling and retry once.
Other failures:
- Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: report the exact output. STOP.
Step 2 — Present Results
Show the supported add path. A Connection ID goes into --connection-id <connection-id> when adding a data source. When Step 1b was requested, also show matching connection references; a Connection Reference goes into --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If the needed connector is missing:
- Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (read from
power.config.jsonenvironmentId):https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections→ + New connection - Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in / consent flow
- Rerun
/list-connections <api-id>or provide the portal connection ID so the data-source skill can continue

(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 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.
