What it does
Add Connector is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Adds any Power Platform connector to a Power Apps code app. Generic fallback for connectors not covered by a specific skill.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites and Agent memory. It works with Power Automate, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft OneDrive and Microsoft SharePoint. The repository describes itself as: A plugin marketplace for GitHub Copilot and other AI agents that provides Power Platform development plugins, including reusable skills, agents, and commands for building and… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Cloud office suites
- Tasks that involve Agent memory
Example prompts
- “/add-connector”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, LSP, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet, AskUserQuestion, Skill
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d044b8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadEditWriteGrepGlobBashLSPTaskCreateTaskUpdateTaskList
…and 3 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
make.powerapps.com
Also links to:
learn.microsoft.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Add Connector loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 442 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, LSP, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet, AskUserQuestion
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md - Cross-cutting concerns.
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
- 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.
Common connector API names:
sharepointonline,teams,excelonlinebusiness,onedriveforbusinessazuredevops,azureblob,azurequeuesoffice365,office365users,office365groupssql,commondataservice
Step 3: Add Connector
First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):
Run the /list-connections skill. Find the connector in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.
# Non-tabular connectors (Teams, Azure DevOps, etc.)
pa app add data-source --connector <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id>
# Tabular connectors (SharePoint, Excel, SQL, etc.) -- also need dataset and table
pa app add data-source --connector <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id> -d '<dataset>' --table '<table>'Parameter reference:
--connector(apiId) -- connector name (e.g.,sharepointonline,teams). On the flatpower-appsbinary this is--api-id/-a.-c(connectionId) -- required for all non-Dataverse connectors. Get from/list-connections.-d(dataset) -- required for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint site URL, SQL database). Not needed for Dataverse.--table(table) -- table/list name for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint list, Dataverse table logical name). On the flatpower-appsbinary this is--resource-name/-t.

Step 4: Inspect & Configure
After adding, inspect the generated files. Generated service files can be very large -- use Grep to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:
Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts"Files to check:
src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts-- available operations and their parameterssrc/generated/models/<Connector>Model.ts-- TypeScript interfaces (if generated).power/schemas/<connector>/-- connector schema and configuration
For each method the user needs:
- Grep for the method name to find its signature
- Read just that method's section (use
offsetandlimitparameters on Read) - Identify required vs optional parameters and response type
Help the user write code using the generated service methods.
Step 5: Build
npm run buildFix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.
Step 6: Update Memory Bank
Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
