add-connector

add-connector is a skill for Claude Code from microsoft/power-platform-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generic guide for adding a Power Platform connector to a Power Apps code app. A connector lets the app work with an outside service, such as a database, file store, email system, or other API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify and add a connector, inspect its setup, configure it, build the app, and update the project's memory bank. Dedicated guides are preferred for common connectors such as Dataverse, Teams, Excel, SharePoint, and Outlook.
Why use it?
It provides a fallback process when no connector-specific guide is available and helps check configuration, project notes, and the build after the connection is added.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

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

add-connector 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 9d 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.

Add Connector (Generic)

Fallback skill for any connector not covered by a specific /add-* skill. For common connectors, prefer the dedicated skills:

  • /add-dataverse -- Dataverse tables
  • /add-azuredevops -- Azure DevOps
  • /add-teams -- Microsoft Teams
  • /add-excel -- Excel Online (Business)
  • /add-onedrive -- OneDrive for Business
  • /add-sharepoint -- SharePoint Online
  • /add-office365 -- Office 365 Outlook (calendar, email, contacts)
  • /add-workiq -- Work IQ (M365 Copilot Search)

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Identify Connector → 3. Add Connector → 4. Inspect & Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Identify Connector

If $ARGUMENTS is provided or the caller already specified the connector, use it directly and skip the question below.

Otherwise, ask the user which connector they want to add. Browse available connectors: Connector Reference

Before proceeding, check if the connector has a dedicated skill. If it does, delegate immediately and STOP:

Connector API name Delegate to
shared_a365copilotchatmcp /add-workiq
sharepointonline /add-sharepoint
teams /add-teams
excelonlinebusiness /add-excel
onedriveforbusiness /add-onedrive
azuredevops /add-azuredevops
office365 /add-office365
commondataservice /add-dataverse

Invoke the appropriate skill with the same $ARGUMENTS and do not continue this skill's workflow.

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.
