Claude Code adapter — generated by scripts/sync-plugin-support.js, do not edit. Canonical source: prompts/al-initialize.prompt.md (sha256 46784648e142199ae4055c94b7bf6949cac4c81df626bf079ac12438d2f10787). This workflow was written for @workspace use … in GitHub Copilot Chat. Apply these harness mappings and treat everything else as binding:

Copilot surface in the contract Claude Code equivalent
#runSubagent / runSubagent / agents: The Task tool with subagent_type: "aldc:<agent>"; one invocation carries everything inline (subagents are stateless)
#askQuestions / vscode/askQuestions AskUserQuestion (main session only; a subagent returns its questions in its structured output)
handoffs: entries, and send: false on one No equivalent — the gate is yours to keep. In Copilot a handoff is a button the human clicks, and send: false additionally hands them the prompt to review before it is sent; the host supplies the approval. Claude Code delegates through the Task tool, with no click and no review step. So never auto-delegate: present your output, get explicit approval, and only then delegate or route to another role. The handoff's routing is carried by the plugin's role entry skills; its human gate is carried by this rule

The Claude guide supersedes older capability-availability examples, never role responsibilities or human gates.

AL Environment Initialization

Your goal is to initialize the AL development environment and workspace for <ProjectName from $ARGUMENTS>.

This workflow covers both initial environment setup (VS Code, GitHub Copilot) and AL workspace configuration (project structure, symbols, dependencies).

Execution scope — choose before any phase

When the request is to prepare/register an existing App or Test for AL MCP, use MCP workspace preparation only below and return its result. Do not run Phase 0 (plugin bootstrap), Phases 1–5, troubleshooting actions or the full-setup success checklist. This narrow mode does not install ALDC or change files. An explicit request to prepare the named existing project authorizes its bounded registration; reuse that authorization instead of requesting it again.

For full environment initialization, retain the existing phases and material approvals. Run MCP workspace preparation after the authorized project exists and before handing it to Architect/Spec/implementation. Do not treat an ordinary architecture request, plugin installation or a Doctor run as setup authorization. Doctor remains diagnostic; it never registers projects as a hidden side effect.

MCP workspace preparation only

This protocol concerns the official AL MCP, not AL LSP, the native editor symbol index, community symbol providers or a Business Central business-data MCP. Operation names below describe capabilities; inspect actual schemas and aliases in this host. Never transpose another host's wire prefix or native AL schema.

Resolve the exact project. Read the current project's aldc.yaml and solution.roots, then confirm the requested existing folder contains app.json. Resolve relative roots against that configuration file, not the first workspace folder. Record absolute path, app identity and target version. Prepare App by default when App is the requested scope. Prepare Test only when requested/needed within the authorized scope, separately by its own path. Never register the solution parent or the BCQuality corpus as an AL project. Missing/ambiguous roots require the smallest clarification, not scaffolding.
Inspect the live connection. Reuse the configured official AL MCP server and its real tool catalog. Discover the schemas of al_getpackagedependencies and al_addproject. If the provider or an operation is unavailable, report that precise capability as unavailable. Do not install a server, change an alias, edit host configuration, broaden tool filters, or use a shell/delegation workaround to bypass the executing context's permissions.
Probe before registration. Query package dependencies for the exact project using the provider's supported path selector. If the response confirms that project is loaded, report already-ready and do not register it again. A success envelope, an empty result or another loaded project alone does not prove this target is ready. If the schema cannot select/identify the target, report ambiguity; do not guess a workspace-wide scope.
Register only when needed and authorized. For an explicit no-projects-loaded or target-not-loaded response (or an authoritative loaded-project listing that excludes this target), call the already exposed al_addproject on that existing absolute folder. The current request must authorize preparation of this project. Never use new-project/scaffold operations. Retain the exact call and result.
Verify once. After successful registration, retry the same dependency query once and confirm the returned project identity. Report registered-and-verified only after that check. Registration success followed by failure is partial. Registration failure stops this target's preparation. Unrelated errors such as authentication, schema, missing packages or version conflicts are not reasons to register repeatedly. At most one registration and one post-registration retry per target in this invocation; do not loop or restart the server to force success.
State the connection boundary. Readiness belongs to the executing context's live MCP connection. A new/restarted server, alias, session or child agent must not be assumed to inherit it. Pass the target and evidence to the next role; that role verifies its own access. If its connection is unprepared, use its surface's explicitly authorized setup route on that same connection. Preparing the parent again is not proof that a child is prepared. This workflow adds no setup permission to Architect, Spec, Reviewer or Conductor; Conductor delegates and any surface-specific authorized recovery retains its existing boundaries.

Limits and surface binding

Registration changes the server's workspace state only under the observed provider contract. It does not authorize compilation/build, symbol restore, publishing, authentication changes, index generation or edits to sources, manifests, MCP/LSP settings and credentials. Do not execute those as fallbacks. Existing full-setup restore permissions do not apply to this narrow mode.

Copilot Chat: this Initialize prompt declares the exact optional selectors for registration and dependency lookup. They assume the existing alias al; verify real tool-picker bindings. A different alias needs an explicit reviewed consumer binding, not a duplicate server or wildcard.
Claude Code: run the explicitly invoked Initialize workflow in a setup context where the real official AL MCP operations are already exposed. Reading a skill does not expand a custom agent's allowed tools.
Copilot CLI: run Initialize in an authorized setup session with the actual MCP operations available. A command's instructions do not bypass agent filters.
Codex: use the existing exposed tools and actual executing connection. Filesystem sandbox settings do not certify remote MCP isolation. Preserve the surface's bounded same-connection recovery where authorized; do not assume parent preparation has initialized native child agents.

Preparation result

Return a compact table, with one row per requested project:

Project / absolute path	Provider / executing context	Initial probe	Registration	Verification	Status / next action

Retain actual tool identifiers, parameters and responses or transcript references. Use already-ready, registered-and-verified, partial, **blocke

Copilot surface in the contract	Claude Code equivalent
`#runSubagent` / `runSubagent` / `agents:`	The `Task` tool with `subagent_type: "aldc:<agent>"`; one invocation carries everything inline (subagents are stateless)
`#askQuestions` / `vscode/askQuestions`	`AskUserQuestion` (main session only; a subagent returns its questions in its structured output)
`handoffs:` entries, and `send: false` on one	No equivalent — the gate is yours to keep. In Copilot a handoff is a button the human clicks, and `send: false` additionally hands them the prompt to review before it is sent; the host supplies the approval. Claude Code delegates through the `Task` tool, with no click and no review step. So never auto-delegate: present your output, get explicit approval, and only then delegate or route to another role. The handoff's routing is carried by the plugin's role entry skills; its human gate is carried by this rule
`@al-architect`, `@al-spec-agent`, `@al-conductor`, `@al-developer`, `@al-developer-reviewer`, `@al-triage`, `@al-presales`, `@al-agent-builder`, `@dredd`	`/aldc:architect`, `/aldc:spec`, `/aldc:conduct`, `/aldc:develop`, `/aldc:review`, `/aldc:triage`, `/aldc:presales`, `/aldc:agent-builder`, `/aldc:audit` (or `claude --agent aldc:<agent>`)
`@workspace use <workflow>`	`/aldc:<workflow>` with dots replaced by dashes (`al-spec.create` -> `/aldc:al-spec-create`); already rewritten below
`${input:Name}` prompt variables	Take the value from `$ARGUMENTS`; ask through `AskUserQuestion` when missing. Already rewritten below as `<Name from $ARGUMENTS>`
`execute` / `runInTerminal`, AL compilation or symbol restore	Developer/Implementer: discovered official AL MCP `mcp__al__al_compile` / `mcp__al__al_build` / `mcp__al__al_downloadsymbols`, or an installed ALTool/AL-Go runner through `Bash`. Use the correct App/Test project; unavailable capabilities are never simulated. Publishing retains its separate human/CI gate and is not granted by this adapter
`edit`, `read/readFile`, `search`, `#codebase`	`Edit`/`Write`, `Read`, `Grep`/`Glob`
`#changes`, `changes`, `search/changes`	Read-only `git status` / `git diff` through `Bash` only where granted; otherwise read the caller-supplied diff artifact or return the missing evidence request
`read/problems`, `al_get_diagnostics`, `#testFailure`	Discovered `mcp__al__al_getdiagnostics` for the explicit project, or actual compiler/test output. Diagnostics are not evidence of a fresh compile or executed tests. No result: record `not-run` / `unavailable`
`al-symbols-mcp/`, `upstash/context7/`, `microsoft-learn/`, `microsoft-docs/`	Tools named `mcp__al-symbols-mcp__`, `mcp__context7__`, `mcp__microsoft-docs__*` (or the `mcp__plugin_aldc_…` form). A server that is not loaded is `unavailable`; do not simulate it
`sshadowsdk.al-lsp-for-agents/*`, `#usages`, semantic definition/reference queries	Claude `LSP` with the existing AL LSP for Agents companion; discover the actual operations and project context first. VS Code tool identifiers are not Claude tool names
`ms-dynamics-smb.al/`, `vscode.mermaid-chat-features/`	VS Code tool identifiers do not exist here. Use only a separately discovered Claude capability; never rename community tools as Microsoft tools
`vscode/memory`, `vscode/*`	Not available; keep state in the canonical `.claude/plans/` artifacts of the project
`todo`	`TodoWrite` for in-session tracking; durable state stays in `.claude/plans/`
"load `skill-x`"	The `Skill` tool (`aldc:<skill-name>`) or read `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
`.github/instructions/*.instructions.md` (`applyTo`)	`${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/rules/*.md` (`paths:`); `/aldc:al-initialize` copies them to the project's `.claude/rules/` for auto-apply in the main session; inject inline for subagents exactly as the contract says
`.github/skills/`, `.github/plans/…`, `docs/templates/`	`${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/`, `.claude/plans/…` (project-owned, `aldc.yaml -> plans.root`), `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/claude-plugin/docs/templates/`; already rewritten below
`python …` runtime helpers, `--aldc-root`	Paths already point at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`; use `python` or `python3`, whichever exists (stdlib only)
`aldc.yaml`	`${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/aldc.yaml` when the project has one, otherwise `${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/claude-plugin/aldc.yaml`
