What it does
Add Datasource is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when adding an unspecified data source to an Expo/React Native Power Apps mobile app; routes to Dataverse, SharePoint, or another connector.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps and Cloud office suites. It works with Microsoft SharePoint, Power Automate, Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure DevOps. 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
- Adding an unspecified data source to an Expo/React Native Power Apps mobile app
- Routes to Dataverse

Example prompts

Requirements
- Node.js

Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ef4e4f. 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:
ReadGrepGlobBashAskUserQuestionSkill
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnode
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Datasource loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 522 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

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, AskUserQuestion, Skill
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.

Understand the Goal
- If
$ARGUMENTSis provided or the caller already specified what's needed, use it directly and skip the question below. - Otherwise, ask the user what they want their app to do — not which connector to use. Focus on the end goal. Example questions:
- "What kind of data does your app need to work with?"
- "What should your app be able to do? (e.g., search company info, manage tasks, send messages)"
- Based on their answer, recommend the best approach and explain why it's the right fit. The user shouldn't need to know the difference between Dataverse, SharePoint, or other connectors — that's our job.
Route to the Right Skill
Telemetry checkpoint: route_data_source_request
| User's goal | Best approach | Invoke |
|---|---|---|
| Store and manage structured business data (custom tables, forms, CRUD) | Dataverse is the platform's native database | /add-dataverse |
| Invoke an existing Dataverse action/function/API | Discover with Power Apps CLI find-dataverse-api; this plugin only adds Dataverse table CRUD | /add-connector |
| Read lists, manage documents, integrate with SharePoint sites | SharePoint Online — dedicated skill with list creation support | /add-sharepoint |
| Invoke an existing Power Automate cloud flow | Use Power Apps CLI list-flows / add-flow support through the generic connector workflow | /add-connector |
| Anything else — Teams messages, Excel data, OneDrive files, Office 365 email/calendar, Azure DevOps, Copilot Studio, custom connectors | Generic connector (we'll figure out the right one) | /add-connector |
Note: Dedicated skills for Teams, Excel, OneDrive, Office 365, and Azure DevOps are planned for v1. Until then, /add-connector handles all of them — it covers every connector the platform supports and generates the same src/generated/ service layer.
Important routing rules:
Show full SKILL.md (206 more words)Show less
- When the user wants to perform actions (send an email, post a Teams message, create a file), route to
/add-connectorwith the connector name as the argument (e.g.,/add-connector office365,/add-connector teams). - When the user wants to invoke a cloud flow, route to
/add-connectorand tell it to usenpx power-apps list-flows --jsonfollowed bynpx power-apps add-flow --flow-id <flow-guid> --non-interactivefrom the app root. - When the user wants to invoke a Dataverse action/function/API rather than table CRUD, route to
/add-connectorand tell it to usenpx power-apps find-dataverse-api --search '<operation-name>' --json; then stop and explain that this plugin only adds Dataverse table CRUD. - When the user wants to store or query structured business data with custom schema, route to
/add-dataverse.
- If the user wants multiple capabilities, invoke each skill in sequence.
When the User Isn't Sure
If the user describes a vague goal (e.g., "I need data for my app"), guide them:
- Ask what their app does and who uses it
- Ask what data they need to display or interact with
- Recommend the simplest approach that meets their needs
- Explain the recommendation in plain language (avoid jargon like "connector", "Dataverse", "tabular data source" unless the user uses those terms first)
