microsoft/power-platform-skills is a plugin marketplace containing reusable skills, agents, and commands for developing with Microsoft Power Platform. Developers use it to build and deploy Power Pages sites, model-driven Power Apps, and related solutions through Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. The catalogue entries are the marketplace's included skills, agents, plugins, and other agent components.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skillsnpx agentmods add skills/microsoft/power-platform-skills/add-workiqWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 6 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.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00134 | $0.05447 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00067 | $0.02723 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00027 | $0.01089 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00545 |
Grade A, and why
add-workiq 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 486 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add Work IQ (M365 Copilot Search)
Work IQ is accessed through the dedicated Work IQ Copilot MCP connector (shared_a365copilotchatmcp; shown as "Work IQ Copilot MCP (Preview)" in the maker portal). It exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint whose CopilotChat tool performs AI-powered, knowledge-grounded search and conversation over Microsoft 365 content.
This is the purpose-built Work IQ connector and generates a
WorkIQCopilotMCPServicewith a singlemcp_m365copilotoperation. Every command and code reference in this skill is specific toshared_a365copilotchatmcp(connection commands, and the generatedWorkIQCopilotMCPService/WorkIQCopilotMCPModelfiles). Do not run this skill for a different connector. If you instead need the broadershared_a365mcpservers"Microsoft 365 MCP Servers" bundle (Mail/Teams/SharePoint MCP servers), add it via/add-connector— its generated service isMicrosoftMCPServersService, so you must adjust the Step 2 commands and the wrapper imports accordingly.
⚠️ Work IQ uses MCP. A JSON-RPC
initializehandshake runs before the firsttools/call. This connector's server (Microsoft.MCPPlatform.WebApi) is stateless-tolerant — do NOT send anMcp-Session-Idoninitialize(the server treats it as a session lookup and returns-32001 Session not found). Drive the connector through theMcpSessionwrapper below, which runs the handshake, sends no session id by default, sequences JSON-RPC ids, auto-retries onSession not found, and parses the nested response for you.
Workflow
- Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Inspect Generated Service → 4. Create McpSession Wrapper → 5. Use Work IQ → 6. Build → 7. Update Memory Bank
Step 1: Check Memory Bank
Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.
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.

add-workiq is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/power-platform-skills (836 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 5,447 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
canvas-apps-ui-gen
Generates paste-ready Power Apps Canvas App YAML. Invoke when the user wants to replicate a UI mockup, improve an existing Canvas app screen, or build a new screen from a text description. Also invoke when the user asks to "improve", "redesign", or "generate YAML" for a Canvas app screen.
fec-drawio-studio
An editable workflow for making technical diagrams in draw.io (also called diagrams.net), with the original .drawio file saved alongside exported images or documents. It covers architecture, database, UML, sequence, flow, machine-learning, and code-structure diagrams.
benchmark
Local-only regression / benchmark skill for ui-clone-skills maintainers. Drives the standard ui-reverse-engineering pipeline against the canonical reference site (https://realfood.gov) and records AE/SSIM, iteration count, gate fail counts, and outcome to benchmark/history.csv so prompt / sub-doc / model-version drift…
pocket-development
Use when executing implementation plans of one or more tasks. Trigger on execute plan, delegate tasks, dispatch subagents. Combines delegate handoff discipline with prompt-engineering attention mechanics.
pocket-pitching
Pre-grinding problem exploration. Use BEFORE pocket-grinding when the problem is unformed or needs exploration. Guides diverge→converge with structured brainstorming methods and LLM-to-LLM curation (advisor tool), then produces a pitch exploration doc. Trigger on "pocket-pitching", "pitch this", "explore this idea"…
kanso-prompting
Use when rewriting, sharpening, or producing a prompt for Claude or another current frontier model. Sets standing rules for getting better LLM output through better prompts. Loaded by /kanso-task; not directly invoked by the user.
