No requirements beyond installing this skill were found.
🔌 This skill ships inside the Copilot Studio YAML Toolkit plugin. Listed package contents include 4 agents and hooks. Installed components and skill versions may vary by AI tool.
Install just this skill
Run this outside your AI tool, using Node.js 22.20.0 or newer. Skills CLI 1.7.2 skips skill selection; prompts cancel installation without an interactive terminal. If choosing Project when asked about installation scope, open your project's folder before running this.
Install checklist
Check selected tools if a picker appears; Claude Code may be unchecked under Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms.
Without a tool picker, check Installing to: for your intended tool. Stop if it names a different tool.
If asked, choose Symlink (Recommended) for shared files or Copy to all agents for separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation.
Install the find-skills skill? defaults to Yes, adding another skill for all projects. Choose No if you don't want that extra installation.
Skills CLI 1.7.2 sends install data to skills.sh by default, including the source, skill names, target tools and file details; GitHub sources are reported only when GitHub confirms the repository is public, while other remote sources can also be reported. Confirmed-public GitHub sources also trigger a security-audit request. Before installing, set the environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 to disable both.
After installing for Claude Code, open it in the installation project if you chose Project; Global makes the skill available across projects on this computer. Once Claude Code loads the skill, its description helps Claude decide when to use it.
If installation created a top-level skills folder that did not exist when your Claude Code session started, run /reload-skills in that session. Run it again after later changes in that folder.
Install the whole plugin
This route installs the Copilot Studio YAML Toolkit plugin package selected for your AI tool.
Add Microsoft's marketplace, then install the plugin
Type both lines inside a Claude Code session, not at your shell prompt. They add Microsoft's marketplace, which is this repository, and the copilot-studio plugin, with its Copilot Studio skills and four sub-agents.
Install checklist
Microsoft lists Node.js 18 or later, and VS Code with the Copilot Studio extension for cloning, pushing and pulling agents.
Claude Code installs it once you pick an install option.
Good to know
A hook that runs whenever a session starts adds Microsoft's Copilot Studio instructions; one tells Claude to lean towards reading your requests as Copilot Studio requests unless there are clear signs otherwise.
The option that installs it for you in every project brings the hook's instructions into every project; to keep them to one Copilot Studio repository, pick the option for this repo only.
On first run, and after an update that changes its dependencies, the session-start hook runs npm install in the plugin's data folder; every session it also writes ~/.copilot-studio-cli/plugin-paths.json.
Add Microsoft's marketplace, then install the plugin
Type both lines in an interactive GitHub Copilot CLI session, not at your shell prompt. The first adds Microsoft's marketplace, which is this repository; the second installs the copilot-studio plugin.
Install checklist
Microsoft lists Node.js 18 or later, and VS Code with the Copilot Studio extension for cloning, pushing and pulling agents.
The plugin also carries a hooks/hooks.json file with SessionStart hooks, a path GitHub's plugin reference lists as a hooks file for plugins in this format; read the file in the repository before you install.
Guide users through adding a new connector action to a Copilot Studio agent. Connector actions require UI-based connection setup, so this skill walks users through the Copilot Studio portal steps, then delegates to edit-action for YAML modifications.Read full description
Generate and insert an Adaptive Card into a Copilot Studio topic using AdaptiveCardPrompt. Use when the user asks to add an adaptive card, rich card, form card, info card, confirmation card, or interactive card to a topic.Read full description
Add generative answer nodes (SearchAndSummarizeContent or AnswerQuestionWithAI) to a Copilot Studio topic. Use this instead of /add-node when the user asks to add grounded answers, knowledge search, generative answers, or AI-powered responses — these nodes require specific patterns (ConditionGroup follow-up, knowledge source references, autoSend, responseCaptureType) that /add-node does not cover.Read full description
Add a global variable to a Copilot Studio agent. Use when the user needs a variable that persists across topics in the same conversation and can optionally be visible to the AI orchestrator.Read full description
Add a knowledge source (public website or SharePoint) to a Copilot Studio agent. Use when the user asks to add a knowledge source, documentation URL, website, or SharePoint site for the agent to search.Read full description
Add or modify a node in an existing Copilot Studio topic. Use when the user asks to add a question, message, condition, variable, or other node to a topic. Do NOT use this for generative answers or knowledge search — use /add-generative-answers instead.Read full description
