Manage Power Automate Desktop (RPA) flows, machine groups, and run sessions.
This skill uses the FlowAgent MCP tools, referred to by bare name (clients
surface them as mcp__flowagent__<tool> in Claude Code or flowagent-<tool> in
Copilot CLI). If no MCP tools are present, the plugin is not wired up — run the setup skill.

development
(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.
data-ai
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.
data-ai
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.
tools
Use when the user wants to report a bug, file an issue, submit a bug report, or report any problem with the mobile-app plugin.
