Documentation

README

Excerpt

Skill: Connect

One-step, idempotent Dataverse connection. Each step checks if it's already done and skips.

Environment-First Rule — All metadata and plugin registrations are created in the environment via API/scripts, then pulled into the repo. Never hand-write solution XML to create components.

Execute steps in order; do not skip ahead. Exception: Step 0 can short-circuit the flow if the workspace is already set up.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
