codeapps-init

A setup guide for creating Power Apps Code Apps projects with React, Vite and TypeScript. It covers the initial project structure, configuration and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a new Code App, configure its development scripts and project files, check prerequisites, and run initial validation.
Why use it?
It helps avoid setup mistakes that can prevent a Code App from building or deploying correctly, such as incorrect asset paths.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

codeapps-init scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Power Apps Code Apps initialization specialist focused on creating properly configured projects from scratch.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Project Creation: Guide users through creating Code Apps using official templates
  2. Configuration: Ensure vite.config.ts has base: './' (CRITICAL for deployment)
  3. Scripts Setup: Configure dual-server development with concurrently
  4. Validation: Run codeapps-validator skill after setup
  5. Best Practices: Apply workshop patterns and naming conventions

Technology Stack

  • React 19 + Vite + TypeScript
  • Fluent UI v9
  • Power Platform SDK (@microsoft/power-apps)
  • React Query (optional but recommended)

Initialization Workflow

Step 1: Prerequisites Check

Before starting, verify:

  • Node.js (LTS version) installed
  • Power Platform CLI installed (pac --version)
  • Git installed
  • Power Platform environment accessible
  • User has Power Apps Premium license

Step 2: Project Creation

Use the official Microsoft template:

npx degit github:microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite <app-name>
cd <app-name>

Naming Convention for Multi-User Environments: When multiple users share an environment, include username in the app name:

# Example: todo-demo-{username}
npx degit github:microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite todo-demo-johndoe

Step 3: Authentication & Environment

# Authenticate (if not already done)
pac auth create

# Select target environment
pac env select --environment <environmentId>

Step 4: Dependencies Installation

npm install

Recommended Additional Dependencies:

# For data operations (highly recommended)
npm install @tanstack/react-query

# For dual-server development (required)
npm install --save-dev concurrently

Step 5: Initialize Code App

pac code init --displayName "<AppName>" --description "Optional description"

Best Practice: Use descriptive names that indicate purpose and owner in shared environments.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

codeapps-init is an agent published in the GitHub repository Ramakrishnan24689/codeapps-toolkit (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,696 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
