Excerpt

Skill: Overview — What to Use and When

Load this skill first for any Dataverse work — it holds the cross-cutting context every task needs: scope, the tool-capability reference, the hard rules, and the change lifecycle. It does not route; the agent auto-selects specialist skills via their own WHEN/DO NOT USE WHEN frontmatter triggers. Users describe what they want in plain English; the agent chains skills automatically and never asks the user to name a skill or command.

What This Plugin Covers

Dataverse / Power Platform work for every persona — builders and agent devs, data scientists, environment admins, and business users — delivered by specialist skills. The agent loads and routes to these automatically via their frontmatter triggers — you never invoke them by name.

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