Guidance for AI coding assistants, written for how things actually fail.

Twenty skills across three installable plugins for Power Platform, Microsoft platform tools, and general engineering. The official documentation already explains what a function does. These skills cover which functions silently break delegation on SharePoint specifically, or why a managed solution deploys successfully and changes nothing.

Three plugins, so you only load what you use

Every enabled skill keeps its description in the assistant's context permanently. Installing Power Platform guidance should not also cost you accessibility and SQL descriptions on every turn, so the skills are split into three plugins that install independently.

Install for Claude Code

Add the marketplace once, then install only the plugins you need.

/plugin marketplace add DevHexLab/power-platform-skills
/plugin install power-platform-skills@devhexlab
/plugin install microsoft-platform-skills@devhexlab
/plugin install engineering-skills@devhexlab

Skills then trigger automatically when relevant, so you do not need to invoke them by name.

Not just for Claude

Skills are authored once and generated into the formats other tools expect. Clone the repository, or copy the directory your tool reads; the files are picked up automatically from these paths.

Generated file locations by tool

Windsurf.windsurf/rules/*.md

Contributing

Corrections are welcome, particularly where Microsoft has changed behaviour, since delegation support, licensing, and Copilot Studio all move frequently. Open an issue with the specific claim and a link to current documentation.
