state

state is a skill for Claude Code from microsoft/managed-apps. It costs 71 tokens per session (4,196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance and generated TypeScript clients for storing and querying an app's built-in state and file attachments. The state feature is a NoSQL store, meaning it saves records without the fixed tables used by traditional relational databases.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for adding persistent app data, defining record collections, generating TypeScript access code, and working with file attachments in Microsoft Managed Apps.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for checking whether state is available, changing its schema, generating code, and using the resulting client in an app.

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

state 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 5d 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.

Managed Apps State with CLI schema + generated client

Every Microsoft Managed App can use built-in app state when the state feature is enabled for the current CLI/environment: a NoSQL store the app calls directly (no middle-tier function, connector, or SDK; the host attaches auth). Records are grouped into collections by an item type name; the server assigns each record an itemId.

For schema-backed state, do not edit schema JSON by hand. Use ms project state ... to change the schema, run ms project state generate-code, then call the generated TypeScript services from app code.

Mandatory feature gate

Before using any guidance in this skill, it is recommended that the user is signed in to the CLI. Run ms auth status, and if it reports no signed-in account, ask the user to run ms auth login. ms feature status never prompts for sign-in, and features that are on by default for the user's organization only apply once they are signed in, so a signed-out check can report state as disabled even when it is available to them.

Then run:

ms feature status --name state --json

Continue only when the output has "success": true and feature.enabled is true. Read the JSON rather than the human-readable output, which lists several settings that can each say "enabled". If the command fails (non-zero exit or "success": false), the feature is not found, or feature.enabled is false, stop and do not run any ms project state ... command.

When state is not enabled, recommend an alternative data-source path based on the user's need:

  • Durable relational/business data: use /add-dataverse.
  • SharePoint lists or document-backed collaboration data: use /add-sharepoint.
  • Workbook-backed tabular data: use /add-excel.
  • Mail, calendar, user profile, Teams, Azure DevOps, OneDrive, Copilot Studio, or Work IQ scenarios: use the matching /add-* skill.
  • Anything else: use /add-data-source to discover and bind the appropriate connector.

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.
