Add Connector (Generic)

Fallback skill for any connector not covered by a specific /add-* skill. For common connectors, prefer the dedicated skills:

• /add-dataverse -- Dataverse tables
• /add-azuredevops -- Azure DevOps
• /add-teams -- Microsoft Teams
• /add-excel -- Excel Online (Business)
• /add-onedrive -- OneDrive for Business
• /add-sharepoint -- SharePoint Online
• /add-office365 -- Office 365 Outlook (calendar, email, contacts)
• /add-workiq -- Work IQ (M365 Copilot Search)

Workflow

1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Identify Connector → 3. Add Connector → 4. Inspect & Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

---

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Identify Connector

If $ARGUMENTS is provided or the caller already specified the connector, use it directly and skip the question below.

Otherwise, ask the user which connector they want to add. Browse available connectors: Connector Reference

Before proceeding, check if the connector has a dedicated skill. If it does, delegate immediately and STOP:

Connector API name	Delegate to
shared_a365copilotchatmcp	/add-workiq
sharepointonline	/add-sharepoint
teams	/add-teams
excelonlinebusiness	/add-excel
onedriveforbusiness	/add-onedrive
azuredevops	/add-azuredevops
office365	/add-office365
commondataservice	/add-dataverse

Invoke the appropriate skill with the same $ARGUMENTS and do not continue this skill's workflow.

Common connector API names:

• sharepointonline, teams, excelonlinebusiness, onedriveforbusiness
• azuredevops, azureblob, azurequeues
• office365, office365users, office365groups
• sql, commondataservice

Step 3: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the connector in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

# Non-tabular connectors (Teams, Azure DevOps, etc.)
pa app add data-source --connector <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id>

# Tabular connectors (SharePoint, Excel, SQL, etc.) -- also need dataset and table
pa app add data-source --connector <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id> -d '<dataset>' --table '<table>'

Parameter reference:

• --connector (apiId) -- connector name (e.g., sharepointonline, teams). On the flat power-apps binary this is --api-id/-a.
• -c (connectionId) -- required for all non-Dataverse connectors. Get from /list-connections.
• -d (dataset) -- required for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint site URL, SQL database). Not needed for Dataverse.
• --table (table) -- table/list name for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint list, Dataverse table logical name). On the flat power-apps binary this is --resource-name/-t.

Step 4: Inspect & Configure

After adding, inspect the generated files. Generated service files can be very large -- use Grep to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:

Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts"

Files to check:

• src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts -- available operations and their parameters
• src/generated/models/<Connector>Model.ts -- TypeScript interfaces (if generated)
• .power/schemas/<connector>/ -- connector schema and configuration

For each method the user needs:

1. Grep for the method name to find its signature
2. Read just that method's section (use offset and limit parameters on Read)
3. Identify required vs optional parameters and response type

Help the user write code using the generated service methods.

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
