Overview

Builds and deploys a Power Apps code app to Power Platform. Use when deploying changes, redeploying an existing app, or pushing updates.

Deploy

Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.

Step 2: Build

npm run build

If the build fails:

TS6133 (unused import): Remove the unused import and retry.
Other TypeScript errors: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.

Verify dist/ exists with index.html before continuing.

Step 3: Deploy

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

Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as $PA app push (npx --no-install pa …), never a bare pa. On power-apps-only projects, translate to power-apps push.

pa app push

Capture the app URL from the output if present.

If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:

Auth error / token expired → pa auth logout (or power-apps logout on power-apps-only projects), then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login.
Environment mismatch → update environmentId in power.config.json to the correct value and retry.

Step 4: Update Memory Bank

If memory-bank.md exists, update:

Last deployed timestamp
App URL (if captured)

# Deploy

Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.

## Workflow

1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank

---

### Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for `memory-bank.md` in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.

### Step 2: Build

```bash
npm run build
```

If the build fails:

- **TS6133 (unused import)**: Remove the unused import and retry.
- **Other TypeScript errors**: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.

Verify `dist/` exists with `index.html` before continuing.

### Step 3: Deploy

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

> Resolve the CLI first (see [cli-binary.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/cli-binary.md)): run as `$PA app push` (`npx --no-install pa …`), never a bare `pa`. On `power-apps`-only projects, translate to `power-apps push`.

```bash
pa app push
```

Capture the app URL from the output if present.

If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:

- Auth error / token expired → `pa auth logout` (or `power-apps logout` on `power-apps`-only projects), then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login.
- Environment mismatch → update `environmentId` in `power.config.json` to the correct value and retry.

### Step 4: Update Memory Bank

If `memory-bank.md` exists, update:

- Last deployed timestamp
- App URL (if captured)

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

License: MIT

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Quality score needs review
Permission surface needs review: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution
Dependency/runtime risk: command execution surface, credential or environment access
Permission surface: secrets or environment access, shell or command execution

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
