Debug failing Power Automate cloud flows using the FlowStudio MCP server. The Graph API only shows top-level status codes. This skill gives your agent action-level inputs and outputs to find the actual root cause. Load this skill when asked to: debug a flow, investigate a failed run, why is this flow failing, inspect action outputs, find the root cause of a flow error, fix a broken Power Automate flow, diagnose a timeout, trace a DynamicOperationRequestFailure, check connector auth errors, read error details from a run, or troubleshoot expression failures. Requires a FlowStudio MCP subscription — see https://mcp.flowstudio.app

Triggers: 'create agent in foundry', 'sync foundry agents', 'deploy agents to foundry', 'register agents in foundry', 'push agents', 'create foundry agent manifest', 'scaffold agent sync'.

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
