Power Platform Skills

Plugins from Microsoft that teach AI assistants, such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, to build on Power Platform.

Browse the plugins and install them with one click

You describe what you want in your own words, such as "Create a Power Pages site with React for a job board" or "Why did the last run of my approval flow fail?".
Your assistant asks follow-up questions, shows you what it plans to do, and asks before it runs commands or changes files.
Then it does the work, from creating tables to publishing the result to your Power Platform environment.

 What can I build?

The plugin website shows what each plugin needs and more things to ask.

 Before you start

- Choose an AI assistant. Use the GitHub Copilot app, GitHub Copilot CLI, or Claude Code.
- Get a Power Platform environment. You'll need permission to create or change resources in it.
  For learning and experiments, start with a free developer environment rather than an environment with live apps or data.
- Install Node.js. The quick installer and most plugins need it to run.

Check your chosen plugin's page for any additional tools, such as the Azure CLI or the .NET SDK.
Requirements vary by plugin, so you don't need to install every tool up front.

 Quick install (recommended)

Open a terminal and run one command.
