power-automate is a skill for Claude Code from korchard333/claude-power-platform-community. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,224 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for Power Automate cloud flows, which are automated workflows that react to events, run on schedules, or move data between services.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports flows for Dataverse changes, scheduled processing, approvals, Teams cards, HTTP calls, child flows, expressions, and desktop automation.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unreliable automations by covering error handling, repeat-safe design, permissions, performance, and deployment practices.

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

power-automate 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.

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.

Skill: Power Automate Cloud Flows

When to Use

Trigger when designing, building, reviewing, or debugging Power Automate cloud flows.


Flow Design Principles

  1. Idempotent flows: Re-running the same trigger should produce the same result
  2. Error handling first: Add try/catch scope before writing the happy path
  3. Minimal permissions: Use service principal connections for production
  4. No hardcoded IDs: Use environment variables or dynamic lookups
  5. Name every action: Descriptive action names are your documentation
  6. Solution-aware: Every production flow must be inside a solution

When to Use Power Automate vs Alternatives

Scenario Recommended Why
React to Dataverse record changes Power Automate Native trigger with filtering columns
Complex business logic on save Plugin (C#) Runs synchronously in transaction pipeline
Reusable API callable from multiple apps Custom API Registered in Dataverse, callable via Web API
Scheduled batch processing Power Automate Recurrence trigger + pagination
Real-time validation before save Plugin (C#) Pre-operation stage, can throw to block save
External system integration (async) Power Automate HTTP connector with retry policies
External system integration (sync) Custom Connector When response needed immediately
UI automation (no API available) Desktop Flow Power Automate Desktop with cloud orchestration

Solution-Aware Flow Checklist

  • Flow is inside a solution (not "My Flows")
  • All connections use Connection References
  • All hardcoded URLs/IDs use Environment Variables
  • Flow has error handling scope (try/catch)
  • Flow name follows convention: [Solution] - [Trigger] - [Action]
  • Run-only permissions configured if shared
  • Trigger conditions set to avoid unnecessary runs
  • Concurrency controls set on Apply to Each loops
  • Action retry policies configured for external calls

Changes

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.
