Skill1.1k starsChanged 10 days agoMITView on GitHub

Lists Power Platform connections in the current environment. Use when you need a connection ID before adding a connector to a code app.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If the CLI is not authenticated, it will open a browser for login automatically.

    line 29
  2. Very specific:

    No output or empty results: Verify the correct environment ID is set in power.config.json, then retry once.

    line 33
  3. Distinctive:

    Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in/consent flow

    line 42

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

List Connections

Lists all Power Platform connections in the current environment using the Power Apps CLI.

Workflow

  1. Fetch Connections → 2. Present Results

Step 1: Fetch Connections

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

pa connection list

If the CLI is not authenticated, it will open a browser for login automatically. Complete the login and retry.

Other failures:

  • Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: Report the exact output. STOP.
  • No output or empty results: Verify the correct environment ID is set in power.config.json, then retry once.

Step 2: Present Results

Show the connection list to the user. The Connection ID is what goes into -c <connection-id> when adding a data source.

If the needed connector is missing:

  1. Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection
  2. Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in/consent flow
  3. Re-run /list-connections to get the new connection ID

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
