Create Power Apps Code App

Workflow

Prerequisites → 2. Gather Requirements → 3. Plan → 4. Scaffold → 5. Initialize → 6. Build & Deploy (baseline) → 7. Add Data Sources → 8. Implement App → 9. Final Build & Deploy → 10. Summary

Step 0: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md. Skip completed steps.

Step 1: Validate Prerequisites

Run prerequisite checks first -- no point gathering requirements if the environment isn't ready. See prerequisites-reference.md for details.

Check Node.js and Git (runs natively in bash):

node --version   # Must be v22+
git --version    # Optional but recommended

Missing Node.js: Report "Install Node.js v22+ from https://nodejs.org/" and STOP.
Node.js below v22: Report "Node.js 22+ is required. Please upgrade or switch with nvm use 22." and STOP.
Missing Git: Report "Recommended but optional." Continue if approved.
All present: Report versions and proceed.

Step 2: Gather Requirements

Skip questions the user already answered in their initial instruction.

If the user has not described what they want to build (i.e., /create-code-app was invoked with no arguments or a vague prompt), start with a single open-ended question before asking anything else:

"What would you like to build? Describe it in your own words — what it does, who uses it, and what problem it solves."

Wait for their answer. Use it to frame all follow-up questions. Do NOT present a multiple-choice list of app types before the user has described their idea.

Once you have their description:

Confirm the app name and clarify the purpose if needed
Ask about data -- focus on what the app needs to do, not specific technologies:
- "What data does your app need to work with?" (e.g., company emails, project tasks, custom business records)
- "Does your app need to search existing information, manage its own data, or both?"
- Based on their answers, recommend the best approach:
  - Store and manage custom business data (tables, forms, CRUD) → Dataverse (/add-dataverse)
  - Interact with specific services (send emails, post messages, manage files) → the appropriate connector
  - Search M365 data or get AI-powered answers (emails, files, people, company knowledge) → Work IQ (/add-workiq)
- If they mention existing Dataverse tables, SharePoint lists, or connectors by name, use those directly
Ask about UI requirements: key screens, layout, interactions, theme preference
Ask any clarifying questions now -- resolve all ambiguity before entering plan mode

Step 3: Plan

Enter plan mode with EnterPlanMode
Design the full implementation approach:
- Which /add-* skills to run for data sources
- App architecture: components, pages, state management
- Feature list with priority order
Present plan for approval, include allowedPrompts from prerequisites-reference.md
Exit plan mode with ExitPlanMode when approved

Step 4: Scaffold

Ask the user for a folder name. Default to powerapps-{app-name-slugified}-{timestamp} if they don't have a preference.

IMPORTANT: Use npx degit to download the template. Do NOT use git clone, do NOT manually create files, do NOT download from GitHub UI. degit downloads the template without git history.

npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite {folder} --force
cd {folder}
npm install

Notes:

Use --force to overwrite if the directory already has files (e.g., .claude from a planning session)
If targeting an existing directory, use . as the folder name: npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite . --force
If npx degit fails (network issues, npm not found), retry once, then ask the user to run manually

Verify: package.json exists, node_modules/ created.

Step 5: Initialize

Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as $PA app init … (npx --no-install pa …), never a bare pa. On power-apps-only projects, translate to power-apps init … (the init verb and its -n/-e flags are unchanged on both binaries).

pa app init -n '{user-provided-app-name}' -e <environment-id>

Finding the environment ID: It's the GUID in the make.powerapps.com URL: https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<env-id>/home. If you don't pass -e, the CLI will prompt for it interactively.

Authentication: On first run, a browser window opens for Microsoft sign-in. Complete the login and the command continues. No separate auth setup is needed.

See preferred-environment.md for environment selection details.

pa app init failure:

Non-zero exit: Report the exact output and STOP. Do not continue to Step 6.
"environmentId not found" or environment validation error: Verify the environment ID is correct and the user has maker permissions in that environment, then retry.
Example: "The pa app init command failed: [error text]. Please check that environment ID 32a51012-... is correct and that you have maker permissions in that environment."

Critical: Read power.config.json after init and verify environmentId is set correctly.

Step 6: Build & Deploy (baseline)

Pre-approved: This baseline deploy is part of the scaffold flow and does not require a separate confirmation prompt.

Build and deploy the bare template to verify the pipeline works before adding data sources.

npm run build

Verify dist/ folder created with index.html and assets/.

Deploy via the resolved CLI: $PA app push on pa, or power-apps push on power-apps-only projects (see cli-binary.md).

pa app push

Capture app URL from output: https://apps.powerapps.com/play/e/{env-id}/app/{app-id}

Common deploy errors: See troubleshooting.md.

Create or update memory-bank.md in the project root now -- don't wait until the end. Include:

Project path, app name, environment ID, app URL
Completed steps: scaffold, init, baseline deploy
Data sources planned (from Step 2)

This ensures progress is saved even if the session ends unexpectedly.

Step 7: Add Data Sources

Invoke the /add-* skills identified in the plan (Step 3). Run each in sequence. Pass context as arguments so sub-skills skip redundant questions (project path, connector name, etc.):

App needs to...	Invoke
Store/manage custom business data	`/add-dataverse`
Track work items, bugs, pipelines	`/add-azuredevops`
Send or read Teams messages	`/add-teams`
Read/write Excel spreadsheet data	`/add-excel`
Upload, download, or manage files	`/add-onedrive`
Work with SharePoint lists or docs	`/add-sharepoint`
Send emails, read inbox, manage calendar	`/add-office365`
Invoke a Copilot Studio agent	`/add-mcscopilot`
Search M365 data or get AI-powered answers	`/add-workiq`
Connect to another service	`/add-connector`

Each /add-* skill runs npm run build to catch errors. Do NOT deploy yet.

If no data sources needed: Skip to Step 8.

Step 8: Implement App

This is the core step. Build the actual app features described in the plan from Step 3.

Review generated services: Use Grep to find methods in generated service files (they can be very large -- see connector-reference.md). Do NOT read entire generated files.
Build components: Create React components for each screen/feature in the plan
Connect data: Wire components to generated services (use *Service.getAll(), *Service.create(), etc.)
Apply theme: Use the user's theme preference (default: dark theme per development standards)
Iterate with user: Show progress, ask for feedback, adjust as needed

Key rules:

Use generated services for all data access -- never use fetch/axios directly
Read dataverse-reference.md if working with Dataverse (picklist fields, virtual fields, lookups have critical gotchas)
Remove unused imports before building (TS6133 strict mode)
Don't edit files in src/generated/ unless fixing known issues

Step 9: Final Build & Deploy

npm run build

Fix any TypeScript errors. Verify dist/ contains the updated app.

Ask the user: "Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app." Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

pa app push

Step 10: Summary

Provide:

App name, environment, app URL, project location
What was built: features, data sources, components
Next steps: how to iterate (npm run build && pa app push), how to add more data sources
Suggest what else the app could do:
- /add-datasource -- add another data source (describe what you need, and the plugin will recommend the best approach)
- /add-dataverse -- store and manage custom business data
- /add-azuredevops -- track work items, bugs, and pipelines
- /add-teams -- send and read Teams messages
- /add-sharepoint -- work with SharePoint lists or documents
- /add-office365 -- send emails, manage calendar
- /add-workiq -- search M365 data or get AI-powered answers about company info
- /add-connector -- connect to any other service
Manage at https://make.powerapps.com/environments//home

Update Memory Bank

Update the memory bank (created in Step 6) with final state:

All completed steps (scaffold, data sources, implementation, deploy)
Features implemented and components created
Data sources connected

### Step 0: Check Memory Bank

Check for `memory-bank.md` per [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md). Skip completed steps.

### Step 1: Validate Prerequisites

Run prerequisite checks **first** -- no point gathering requirements if the environment isn't ready. See [prerequisites-reference.md](./references/prerequisites-reference.md) for details.

Check Node.js and Git (runs natively in bash):

```bash

```

- **Missing Node.js**: Report "Install Node.js v22+ from https://nodejs.org/" and STOP.

- **Missing Git**: Report "Recommended but optional." Continue if approved.
- **All present**: Report versions and proceed.


### Step 2: Gather Requirements

**Skip questions the user already answered in their initial instruction.**

**If the user has not described what they want to build** (i.e., `/create-code-app` was invoked with no arguments or a vague prompt), start with a single open-ended question before asking anything else:

> "What would you like to build? Describe it in your own words — what it does, who uses it, and what problem it solves."

Wait for their answer. Use it to frame all follow-up questions. Do NOT present a multiple-choice list of app types before the user has described their idea.

2. Ask about data -- focus on **what the app needs to do**, not specific technologies:
   - "What data does your app need to work with?" (e.g., company emails, project tasks, custom business records)
   - "Does your app need to search existing information, manage its own data, or both?"
   - Based on their answers, recommend the best approach:
     - **Store and manage custom business data** (tables, forms, CRUD) → Dataverse (`/add-dataverse`)
     - **Interact with specific services** (send emails, post messages, manage files) → the appropriate connector
     - **Search M365 data or get AI-powered answers** (emails, files, people, company knowledge) → Work IQ (`/add-workiq`)
   - If they mention existing Dataverse tables, SharePoint lists, or connectors by name, use those directly
3. Ask about UI requirements: key screens, layout, interactions, theme preference
4. Ask any clarifying questions now -- resolve all ambiguity before entering plan mode

### Step 3: Plan

1. Enter plan mode with `EnterPlanMode`
2. Design the full implementation approach:
   - Which `/add-*` skills to run for data sources
   - App architecture: components, pages, state management
   - Feature list with priority order
3. Present plan for approval, include `allowedPrompts` from [prerequisites-reference.md](./references/prerequisites-reference.md)
4. Exit plan mode with `ExitPlanMode` when approved

### Step 4: Scaffold

Ask the user for a folder name. Default to `powerapps-{app-name-slugified}-{timestamp}` if they don't have a preference.

**IMPORTANT: Use `npx degit` to download the template. Do NOT use `git clone`, do NOT manually create files, do NOT download from GitHub UI. `degit` downloads the template without git history.**

```bash
npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite {folder} --force
cd {folder}
npm install
```

**Notes:**

- Use `--force` to overwrite if the directory already has files (e.g., `.claude` from a planning session)
- If targeting an existing directory, use `.` as the folder name: `npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite . --force`
- If `npx degit` fails (network issues, npm not found), retry once, then ask the user to run manually

Verify: `package.json` exists, `node_modules/` created.

### Step 5: Initialize

> Resolve the CLI first (see [cli-binary.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cli-binary.md)): run as `$PA app init …` (`npx --no-install pa …`), never a bare `pa`. On `power-apps`-only projects, translate to `power-apps init …` (the `init` verb and its `-n`/`-e` flags are unchanged on both binaries).

```bash
pa app init -n '{user-provided-app-name}' -e <environment-id>
```

**Finding the environment ID:** It's the GUID in the make.powerapps.com URL: `https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<env-id>/home`. If you don't pass `-e`, the CLI will prompt for it interactively.

**Authentication:** On first run, a browser window opens for Microsoft sign-in. Complete the login and the command continues. No separate auth setup is needed.

See [preferred-environment.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/preferred-environment.md) for environment selection details.

**`pa app init` failure:**

- Non-zero exit: Report the exact output and STOP. Do not continue to Step 6.
- "environmentId not found" or environment validation error: Verify the environment ID is correct and the user has maker permissions in that environment, then retry.
- Example: _"The `pa app init` command failed: `[error text]`. Please check that environment ID `32a51012-...` is correct and that you have maker permissions in that environment."_

**Critical:** Read `power.config.json` after init and verify `environmentId` is set correctly.

### Step 6: Build & Deploy (baseline)

> **Pre-approved**: This baseline deploy is part of the scaffold flow and does not require a separate confirmation prompt.

Build and deploy the bare template to verify the pipeline works before adding data sources.

```bash
npm run build
```

Verify `dist/` folder created with `index.html` and `assets/`.

> Deploy via the resolved CLI: `$PA app push` on `pa`, or `power-apps push` on `power-apps`-only projects (see [cli-binary.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cli-binary.md)).

```bash
pa app push
```

**Capture app URL** from output: `https://apps.powerapps.com/play/e/{env-id}/app/{app-id}`

**Common deploy errors:** See [troubleshooting.md](./references/troubleshooting.md).

**Create or update `memory-bank.md` in the project root now** -- don't wait until the end. Include:

- Project path, app name, environment ID, app URL
- Completed steps: scaffold, init, baseline deploy
- Data sources planned (from Step 2)

This ensures progress is saved even if the session ends unexpectedly.

### Step 7: Add Data Sources

Invoke the `/add-*` skills identified in the plan (Step 3). Run each in sequence. **Pass context as arguments** so sub-skills skip redundant questions (project path, connector name, etc.):

| App needs to...                            | Invoke             |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------ |
| Store/manage custom business data          | `/add-dataverse`   |
| Track work items, bugs, pipelines          | `/add-azuredevops` |
| Send or read Teams messages                | `/add-teams`       |
| Read/write Excel spreadsheet data          | `/add-excel`       |
| Upload, download, or manage files          | `/add-onedrive`    |
| Work with SharePoint lists or docs         | `/add-sharepoint`  |
| Send emails, read inbox, manage calendar   | `/add-office365`   |
| Invoke a Copilot Studio agent              | `/add-mcscopilot`  |
| Search M365 data or get AI-powered answers | `/add-workiq`      |
| Connect to another service                 | `/add-connector`   |

Each `/add-*` skill runs `npm run build` to catch errors. Do NOT deploy yet.

**If no data sources needed:** Skip to Step 8.

### Step 8: Implement App

**This is the core step.** Build the actual app features described in the plan from Step 3.

1. **Review generated services**: Use `Grep` to find methods in generated service files (they can be very large -- see [connector-reference.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/connector-reference.md#inspecting-large-generated-files)). Do NOT read entire generated files.
2. **Build components**: Create React components for each screen/feature in the plan
3. **Connect data**: Wire components to generated services (use `*Service.getAll()`, `*Service.create()`, etc.)
4. **Apply theme**: Use the user's theme preference (default: dark theme per development standards)
5. **Iterate with user**: Show progress, ask for feedback, adjust as needed

**Key rules:**

- Use generated services for all data access -- never use fetch/axios directly
- Read [dataverse-reference.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/add-dataverse/references/dataverse-reference.md) if working with Dataverse (picklist fields, virtual fields, lookups have critical gotchas)
- Remove unused imports before building (TS6133 strict mode)
- Don't edit files in `src/generated/` unless fixing known issues

### Step 9: Final Build & Deploy

```bash
npm run build
```

Fix any TypeScript errors. Verify `dist/` contains the updated app.

Ask the user: _"Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app."_ Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

```bash
pa app push
```

### Step 10: Summary

Provide:

- App name, environment, app URL, project location
- What was built: features, data sources, components
- Next steps: how to iterate (`npm run build && pa app push`), how to add more data sources
- Suggest what else the app could do:
  - `/add-datasource` -- add another data source (describe what you need, and the plugin will recommend the best approach)
  - `/add-dataverse` -- store and manage custom business data
  - `/add-azuredevops` -- track work items, bugs, and pipelines
  - `/add-teams` -- send and read Teams messages
  - `/add-sharepoint` -- work with SharePoint lists or documents
  - `/add-office365` -- send emails, manage calendar
  - `/add-workiq` -- search M365 data or get AI-powered answers about company info
  - `/add-connector` -- connect to any other service
- Manage at https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/home

### Update Memory Bank
