Work with Microsoft Power Automate cloud flows through the power-automate CLI. Use for pull, diff, deploy, create, start, stop, run history, action diagnostics, or replacing a hosted MCP service with local open tooling.

Navigate official Microsoft Power Automate and Power Platform documentation. Use when researching Power Automate capabilities, deciding whether a topic belongs to cloud-flow expressions, Power Fx desktop flows, Dataverse workflow APIs, connector references, limits, errors, or monitoring. Prefer this skill before using generic web search for Power Automate tasks.

Configure Microsoft Power Automate cloud-flow triggers and actions from JSON, connector references, or designer semantics. Use for operation inputs, connector schemas, Office 365 Outlook email actions, SharePoint actions, Dataverse actions, connectionReferences, runAfter, retry policies, secure inputs/outputs, and action payload shape decisions.

Write, validate, and debug Microsoft Power Automate expressions. Use for Workflow Definition Language expressions in cloud flows, dynamic content, runAfter conditions, null-safe property access, variables, trigger/action outputs, date/string/array functions, and for deciding when Power Fx applies only to desktop-flow or other Power Platform formula surfaces.

Authoritative, embedded reference for the Power Automate cloud-flow language (Workflow Definition Language / Logic Apps). Use to confirm whether a function, trigger, or action exists and its exact name or JSON "type", to check function signatures, the workflow-definition schema, runAfter semantics, or operators — before writing or validating any cloud-flow expression or JSON. Stops invented functions and Power Fx bleeding into cloud flows.

Design or modify Microsoft Power Automate cloud-flow architectures using proven workflow patterns. Use when building flows, choosing triggers/actions, structuring branches/scopes, adding SharePoint/Outlook/Dataverse automation, handling retries and errors, or translating n8n-style workflow routines into Power Automate without reinventing the process.

Work with Microsoft Power Platform solutions and solution-scoped environment variables from the command line. Use for listing solutions, inspecting solution components, reading and setting environment variable values (String/Number/Boolean/JSON), handling Secret (Azure Key Vault) variables safely, connection references, and shipping flows through a DEV -> PROD pipeline via the power-automate CLI.

Diagnose Microsoft Power Automate cloud-flow incidents from run history, failed actions, trigger behavior, connection failures, missing runs, skipped branches, invalid expressions, throttling, retries, and action outputs before changing workflow code. Use with the power-automate CLI runs and run-detail commands for read-only evidence gathering.
