An end-to-end build process for a third-party .ppmplugin bundle containing native Android and iOS code. It runs the manifest, platform-build, packaging, and audit stages in order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect supported platforms, build their binaries, assemble the bundle, and check the finished package.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which build step comes next and stops when a stage fails.

    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.

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

generate-ppmplugin 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 1mo 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 — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/generate-ppmplugin

The recommended entry point for the third-party-control build track. In the normal flow, the user invokes /generate-ppmplugin and it drives the five stage skills (/generate-ppmplugin-manifest, /build-android-binary, /build-ios-binary, /assemble-ppmplugin, /audit-ppmplugin) in order. Advanced users may invoke a stage directly to rerun or debug only that stage. Inspect the repo, pick the right target set, run manifest → build skill(s) → assemble → audit in sequence, and produce a verified .ppmplugin on disk (or a clear stop with the failing stage).

Read shared/ppmplugin-format.md §1 — the bundle layout this orchestrator produces.

What this skill does NOT do

  • Does not author the manifest, build the DEX, build the framework, zip the bundle, or run the audit itself — those are the stage skills. This skill invokes them in the right order, with the right inputs, and gates between them.
  • Does not skip any stage's confirmations / mismatch gates / replace-existing prompts — those still surface to the user. The orchestrator just removes the "which stage next?" decision so the user never has to invoke a stage directly.
  • Does not upload to Dataverse or wire into a canvas app (Stage 3 — deferred).
  • Does not edit source code under src/, ios/, android/ — every stage builds from a staged copy. The repo is read-only from the build's perspective.

Step 1 — Read shared docs + prereq summary

  1. Read shared/shared-instructions.md and shared/ppmplugin-format.md.
  2. Confirm the working directory is a third-party-control repo: a package.json (dev-only <kebab>-control name — not a published @powerapps/extension-* scope; this track ships a binary, not an npm package) and either android/ or ios/ (or both). If missing, STOP with NEEDS_CONTEXT: not a third-party-control-ready repo — missing <list> and point at shared/repo-layout.md.
  3. Print the orchestrator prereq block (sub-skills each re-run their own prereq check when invoked — this is the summary the user sees up front so they know what's required end-to-end):

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.
