[optional: page description or 'deploy' or 'update']
Fluent UI V9 — @fluentui/react-components exclusively (DatePicker from @fluentui/react-datepicker-compat, TimePicker from @fluentui/react-timepicker-compat)
Single file architecture — all components, utilities, styles in one .tsx file
No external libraries — only React, Fluent UI V9, approved Fluent icons, D3.js for charts
Type-safe DataAPI — use RuntimeTypes when Dataverse entities are involved
Responsive design — flexbox, relative units, never 100vh/100vw
Accessibility — WCAG AA, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, semantic HTML
Complete code — no placeholders, TODOs, or ellipses in final output
Instructions
Follow these steps in order for every /genpage invocation.
Step 1: Validate Prerequisites
Run these checks (first invocation per session only). Run each command separately — do not chain with &&:
node --version
pac help
pac help output includes the version number. Verify the version is >= 2.3.1. If the version is older, instruct the user to update: dotnet tool update --global Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI.Tool.
If either command fails, inform the user and provide installation instructions. Do NOT proceed until prerequisites are met. See troubleshooting.md if issues arise.
Wait for user to complete browser sign-in, then re-verify.
If one profile: Confirm it's active (has * marker). If not, activate it:
pac auth select --index 1
If multiple profiles: Show the list, ask which environment to use, then:
pac auth select --index <user-chosen-index>
Report: "Working with environment: [name]" and proceed.
Step 3: Gather Requirements (Interactive)
Ask these questions one at a time:
"Create a new generative page or edit an existing one?" (use AskUserQuestion)
If new: continue to next question
If edit: ask for the app and page to edit, download it with pac model genpage download --app-id <app-id> --page-id <page-id> --output-directory ./output-dir, then ask what changes to make
"Describe the page you'd like to build" (use AskUserQuestion) — present two example descriptions as options and let the user type their own via the "Other" option:
Option 1: "Build a page showing Account records as a gallery of cards using modern look & feel. All cards should have fixed size and tall enough to fit 4 lines of titles. Include name, entityimage on the top and, website, email, phone number. Make the component fill 100% of the space. Make the gallery scrollable. Use data from the Account table. Make each card clickable to open the Account record in a new window. The target URL should be current location path with following query string parameters: pagetype=entityrecord&etn=[entityname]&id=[recordid] where entityname is account and id is accountid."
Option 2: "Design a vertically scrollable checklist interface for Task records using a clean, flat layout. Each task should be a row with a left-aligned checkbox, subject in bold and right-aligned due date and priority. Use neutral tones for background and soft color tags for priority (e.g., red for High, gray for Low). Completed tasks should show a strikethrough and reduced opacity. Allow inline editing of due date with a date picker. On hover, rows should highlight with another background. Clicking a task opens the Task record in a new window using: pagetype=entityrecord&etn=[entityname]&id=[recordid] where entityname is task and id is related record id."
Other (Recommended): User types their own description
"Will the page use Dataverse entities or mock data?" (use AskUserQuestion)
If entities: ask which entities and fields (use logical names — singular, lowercase)
If mock data: confirm you'll generate realistic sample data
"Any specific requirements?" (use AskUserQuestion) — styling, features (search, filtering, sorting), accessibility, responsive behavior, interactions
If the user provided a description with the /genpage command, acknowledge it and skip question 2. If the selected description already specifies a data source (e.g., Option 1 mentions Account table, Option 2 mentions Task records), skip question 3 as well.
Step 4: Plan and Confirm
Present a clear plan:
I'll create a [page type] with:
- Data: [entities or mock data with specifics]
- Features: [list key features]
- Components: [Fluent UI components to use]
- Layout: [responsive design approach]
Does this plan look good? Any changes needed?
Wait for confirmation before proceeding. If changes requested, revise and re-confirm.
Step 5: Generate Schema and Verify Columns (Dataverse Pages Only)
CRITICAL — DO THIS BEFORE WRITING ANY CODE. Column name hallucination is the #1 source of runtime errors. Never guess column names.
If the page uses Dataverse entities, generate the TypeScript schema NOW:
pac model genpage generate-types --data-sources "entity1,entity2" --output-file RuntimeTypes.ts
Windows + Bash: Always use forward slashes in file paths (e.g., D:/temp/RuntimeTypes.ts). Backslashes like \t or \R are consumed as escape sequences by bash, producing wrong paths.
After generating, read the RuntimeTypes.ts file and:
Identify the actual column names available on each entity
Note which columns are readonly vs writable
Note the enum/choice set names and values
Use ONLY these verified column names when generating code in the next step
NEVER guess or assume column names. Custom entities (e.g., cr69c_candidate) have unpredictable column names (e.g., cr69c_fullname not cr69c_name). The only way to know the real names is to read them from the generated schema.
If schema generation fails, see troubleshooting.md. Do NOT generate code with guessed column names.
For mock data pages: Skip this step.
Step 6: Read Code Generation Rules and Samples
Before generating code, read the comprehensive rules reference:
Generate complete TypeScript following ALL rules in genpage-rules-reference.md. For Dataverse pages, use ONLY the column names verified from RuntimeTypes.ts in Step 5. Output in this format:
Agent Thoughts: Step-by-step reasoning and approach
Summary: Non-technical bulleted list of what was built
Final Code: Complete, ready-to-run TypeScript (no placeholders)
Save the code to a .tsx file (e.g., account-dashboard.tsx).
"Would you like to publish this page to Power Apps?"
If yes, follow this deployment workflow. Copy the upload commands below exactly — --app-id, --code-file, --prompt, --agent-message are all required and must use these exact flag names.
For Dataverse entity pages (schema already generated in Step 5):
pac model list
CRITICAL: Ask the user: "Which app would you like to publish this page to? Please provide the app-id or app name from the list above."
NEVER choose a default app or assume an app-id
ACCEPT BOTH app-id (GUID) or app name — if user provides an app name, run pac model list to look up the corresponding app-id
WAIT for user response before proceeding
pac model genpage upload `
--app-id <user-provided-app-id-or-name> `
--code-file page-name.tsx `
--name "Page Display Name" `
--data-sources "entity1,entity2" `
--prompt "User's original request summary" `
--model "<current-model-id>" `
--agent-message "The agent's response message describing what was built and any relevant details" `
--add-to-sitemap
For mock data pages (skip schema generation):
pac model list
# Ask user for app selection, then:
pac model genpage upload `
--app-id <user-provided-app-id-or-name> `
--code-file page-name.tsx `
--name "Page Display Name" `
--prompt "User's original request summary" `
--model "<current-model-id>" `
--agent-message "The agent's response message describing what was built and any relevant details" `
--add-to-sitemap
For updating existing pages (use --page-id, omit --add-to-sitemap):
pac model genpage upload `
--app-id <app-id-or-name> `
--page-id <page-id> `
--code-file page-name.tsx `
--data-sources "entity1,entity2" `
--prompt "User's original request summary" `
--model "<current-model-id>" `
--agent-message "The agent's response message describing what was built and any relevant details"
Step 9: Verify in Browser
After successful deployment, ask the user (use AskUserQuestion):
"Would you like to verify the page in the browser using Playwright? This will open the page and test interactive elements."
Options: Yes, verify in browser / Skip verification
If the user chooses to skip, go directly to Step 10.
If the user chooses to verify, open the page in the browser using Playwright to verify it works and interactive elements function correctly.
9.1 Navigate and Authenticate
Construct the URL from the environment base URL, app-id, and page-id returned by the upload command:
If you get a "page closed" or "browser closed" error, retry navigation once — Playwright sessions can expire
Use browser_snapshot to capture the page state. Always snapshot before any clicks — stale refs cause "Ref not found" errors
If a sign-in page appears, use browser_click on the sign-in option, then browser_wait_for for the page to load
Use browser_wait_for to wait for the genux page content to render (may take a few seconds)
9.2 Structural Verification
Use browser_snapshot to take an accessibility snapshot and verify the expected DOM elements are present based on the page type built:
Page Type
Expected Elements
Data Grid
Table/grid element with column headers and data rows
Form / Wizard
Form fields (inputs, dropdowns) and Next/Back buttons
CRUD
Data grid + action buttons (Add, Edit, Delete)
Dashboard
Multiple sections/panels with headings
Card Layout
Card containers with content
File Upload
File input or drop zone element
Navigation Sidebar
Nav element with menu items
If expected elements are missing, note the issue for the fix step (9.5).
9.3 Interactive Testing
Test functional interactions based on the page type. Always take a fresh browser_snapshot before each click to get current element refs. Move on after 2 failed attempts per interaction.
All page types:
Verify at least one button or control responds to a click
Page-type-specific tests:
Page Type
Test Action
Expected Result
Data Grid
Click a column header
Sort order changes (arrow indicator appears or flips)
Form / Wizard
Click Next button
Step advances to next section
Form / Wizard
Click Back button
Returns to previous section
CRUD
Click Add/New button
Form or dialog appears
Dashboard
Click a tab or section toggle
Content area updates
Card Layout
Click an action button on a card
Card responds (expand, navigate, etc.)
Navigation Sidebar
Click a menu item
Content area updates to show selected section
What NOT to test (skip these):
Dataverse data mutations (create/update/delete records) — modifies real data
File upload dialogs — Playwright cannot interact with native OS file dialogs
Complex form validation — fragile, requires realistic test data
Pagination — requires actual Dataverse data to be present
9.4 Visual Confirmation
Use browser_take_screenshot to capture a final screenshot for the deployment summary. This screenshot should show the page in its final verified state.
9.5 Fix and Re-deploy
If structural or interactive issues are found:
Analyze the snapshot and screenshot for error details
Fix the code
Re-deploy using Step 8
Repeat verification (Steps 9.1–9.4) until the page works correctly
Common Playwright issues:
"Target page, context or browser has been closed" → retry the navigation
"Ref not found" → take a fresh browser_snapshot before clicking any element
Sign-in required → Playwright uses the system browser session; if not authenticated, the user must sign in manually first
Step 10: Final Summary
After deployment and verification, provide:
Confirmation of successful upload
Screenshot of the page (if browser verification was done)
