DEPRECATED: Use /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent instead — it auto-detects DirectLine vs M365 mode. This skill is kept for backwards compatibility only.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

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

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If you are here because the caller explicitly provided a DirectLine secret or token endpoint URL, you may proceed with the instructions …

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    Always pass --directline-token: when resuming. DirectLine tokens are bound to the conversation.

    line 44

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 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.

DirectLine Chat (Deprecated)

This skill has been merged into /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent, which now auto-detects the agent's authentication mode and uses DirectLine automatically for no-auth and manual-auth agents.

Use /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent instead. It handles both DirectLine and Copilot Studio SDK modes in a single skill.

If you are here because the caller explicitly provided a DirectLine secret or token endpoint URL, you may proceed with the instructions below. Otherwise, redirect to /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent.


Direct Usage (when caller provides explicit DirectLine credentials)

Token endpoint mode

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \
  --token-endpoint "<url>" "<utterance>"

DirectLine secret mode

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \
  --directline-secret "<secret>" "<utterance>"

Multi-turn

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \
  --token-endpoint "<url>" "<follow-up>" \
  --conversation-id <id> --directline-token "<token>"

Always pass --directline-token when resuming. DirectLine tokens are bound to the conversation. They expire after ~30 min.

Output format

Same as /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent Phase 1a — see that skill for full documentation of JSON output, sign-in flow, and error handling.
