Power Platform Skills

Power Platform Skills

Practical guidance for Microsoft Power Platform and general software engineering, written for AI coding assistants. Published by [DevHexLab](https://devhexlab.com).

Twenty skills, each organised around how the technology actually fails in practice rather than around a feature tour. The official documentation already explains what `Filter` does. It does not tell you which functions silently break delegation on SharePoint specifically, or why your managed solution deploys successfully and changes nothing.

Not just for Claude

Skills are authored once as `SKILL.md`, and `tools/build_adapters.py` generates the formats other tools expect:
