teams-adaptive-cards

teams-adaptive-cards is a skill for Codex from ccheney/robust-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (3,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidelines for creating Adaptive Cards, which are structured rich messages used in Microsoft Teams. They explain how to package the same card content for bots, webhooks, Microsoft Graph, and other Teams delivery paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building Teams notifications, approvals, forms, search results, message extensions, and webhook or Graph messages with Adaptive Card JSON.
Why use it?
Teams expects different outer message formats for different delivery methods. Choosing the wrong wrapper can make otherwise valid card data fail or display incorrectly.

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

teams-adaptive-cards 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-teams-card.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Teams Adaptive Cards

Adaptive Cards are the primary rich-message surface for Microsoft Teams. Always choose the transport first, because the same card JSON is wrapped differently for bots, Workflows webhooks, and Microsoft Graph — most broken Teams cards are wrapper mistakes, not card mistakes.

Quick Decision Trees

"Should I use a card?"

Response type?
|-- Short conversational reply, <3 lines        -> text only; use $teams-message-formatting
|-- Status notification with facts/actions      -> Adaptive Card
|-- Approval, form, or data collection          -> Adaptive Card through bot/Universal Actions
|-- Search result or message extension response -> Adaptive Card
|-- Service alert to a channel                  -> Workflows webhook or notification bot card
|-- Delegated Graph message with attachment     -> Graph chatMessage card wrapper
`-- Legacy connector/MessageCard payload        -> migrate to Workflows + Adaptive Card
                                                   (O365 connectors stopped working May 2026)

"Which transport wrapper?"

Delivery path?
|-- Bot Framework / Teams SDK
|   `-- Activity `attachments[]` with contentType `application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive`
|-- Workflows (Power Automate) webhook
|   `-- Top-level `{ "type": "message", "attachments": [...] }`
|       (same wrapper the retired Incoming Webhook connectors used)
|-- Microsoft Graph chatMessage
|   `-- Body `<attachment id="..."></attachment>` plus matching `attachments[]`
|       with the card as a JSON *string* in attachment content
|-- Message extension result
|   `-- Attachment with Adaptive Card content and preview as required by extension type
`-- Outlook + Teams universal scenario
    `-- Use Universal Actions (`Action.Execute`) with bot backend

"Which card version?"

Need maximum Teams mobile compatibility?
|-- Yes -> use version "1.2"
`-- No
    |-- Need Action.Execute / refresh / Universal Actions      -> version "1.4"+, bot-backed
    |-- Need Table / CodeBlock / charts / Icon / targetWidth   -> version "1.5"
    `-- No special features                                    -> version "1.2"

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.
