setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/power-platform-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,779 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A first-time setup guide for getting the Power Automate plugin working, including checking required command-line tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up the plugin, troubleshooting a non-working installation, or checking whether Node.js 18 or newer and Azure CLI are available.
Why use it?
It helps new users identify missing prerequisites such as Node.js or Azure CLI and gives operating-system-specific installation guidance.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

About the project

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

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

setup 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 yesterday.

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.

First-Time Setup Guide

You are helping a non-technical user get the Power Automate plugin working for the first time. Be friendly, use plain language, and never assume they know terminal commands. Walk them through each step one at a time.

Step 1: Check Node.js

Run silently:

node --version 2>&1
  • If it works (prints something like v18.x.x or higher): Tell them "Node.js is installed" and move on.
  • If it fails or version is below 18: Tell them they need Node.js 18 or newer. Ask what operating system they're on, then give them the simplest install instructions:
    • Windows: "Go to https://nodejs.org, download the LTS version, and run the installer. Click Next through everything."
    • Mac: "Open Terminal and run: brew install node" (or direct them to nodejs.org)
    • After they've installed it, re-check with node --version.

Step 2: Check Azure CLI

Run silently:

az --version 2>&1
  • If it works: Tell them "Azure CLI is installed" and move on.
  • If it fails: Tell them they need the Azure CLI. Ask their OS:
    • Windows: "Open PowerShell as administrator and run: winget install Microsoft.AzureCLI" or direct them to https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows
    • Mac: "brew install azure-cli"
    • After install, re-check with az --version.

Step 3: Azure Login

Check if they're already logged in:

az account show --output json 2>&1
  • If it works (shows account info): Tell them who they're logged in as (show the user.name field) and ask if that's the right account.
  • If it fails: Tell them "Let's sign you into Azure." Then run:
    az login
    
    This will open their browser. Tell them: "A browser window should open. Sign in with your work account — the one you use for Power Automate." After login completes, confirm it worked by running az account show again.

Verify token access — this catches permission issues early.

First find out which Azure cloud they're on, because the Power Automate resource URL differs per cloud and the commercial one cannot be assumed (GCC High / DoD tenants will fail against it):

az cloud show --query name -o tsv

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.
