powerapps-canvas-yaml-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pnp/copilot-prompts. It costs 79 tokens per session (10,868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for Power Apps canvas screen files written in YAML, a structured text format. It creates screens such as forms, galleries, dialogs, dashboards, and detail views, including Power Fx formulas, the expression language used in Power Apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold or modify Power Apps canvas screens and generate their Power Fx formulas. It supports screens connected to SharePoint lists, Dataverse tables, or collections.
Why use it?
It helps avoid hand-writing YAML that Power Apps may reject. It also prompts for the screen’s name, purpose, data source, controls, and navigation context before creating it.

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

powerapps-canvas-yaml-generator 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.

Power Apps Canvas App YAML Generator

Generates production-ready Power Apps Source Code YAML for canvas app screens, following the official Power Apps YAML source format rules and a consistent enterprise design system.


Before Starting

Always confirm the following before generating any YAML:

  1. Screen or component name — what to name the output (e.g. ScnDashboard, ScnRequestForm, DlgConfirmDelete)
  2. Component type — full screen, dialog/overlay, form, gallery list, detail view, dashboard, or other
  3. Navigation context — if a sidebar is needed, which nav item should be active; if no sidebar is needed, say so
  4. Screen purpose — one sentence describing what the screen or component does
  5. Data source — SharePoint list, Dataverse table, or collection name and any known column names (if data-driven)
  6. Controls needed — gallery, form fields, dropdowns, status badges, buttons, dialogs, etc.

If any detail is missing, ask before generating.


Step 1: Confirm the Component Type

The component type determines the top-level YAML structure:

  • Full screens → wrapped in Screens: block
  • Dialogs, popups, components, partial UI → bare container tree, NO Screens: wrapper
Type Screens: wrapper? When to use
Full screen with sidebar YES A primary app screen with global navigation
Full screen without sidebar YES A login, splash, or single-purpose screen
Dialog / overlay / popup NO A confirmation, quick-entry panel, or modal overlaid on another screen
Reusable component / card NO A panel, card, or UI fragment embedded within a screen
Standalone form screen YES A dedicated create or edit screen without a sidebar
Gallery list screen YES A searchable, filterable list of records
Detail view screen YES A read-only or editable single-record view
Dashboard screen YES A summary screen with KPI cards

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.
