  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 8 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by korchard333 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Copilot Studio AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/korchard333/claude-power-platform-community/tree/main/.claude/skills/copilot-studio
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/korchard333/claude-power-platform-community.git /tmp/claude-power-platform-community
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-power-platform-community/.claude/skills/copilot-studio .claude/skills/copilot-studio
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Copilot Studio in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Copilot Studio on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Copilot Studio is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Skill: Microsoft Copilot Studio

When to Use

Trigger when building, configuring, testing, deploying, or reviewing Copilot Studio agents (formerly Power Virtual Agents) — including standalone agents, Copilot extensions, autonomous agents, and multi-agent orchestrations.

Agent Types

TypeDescriptionUse Case
Copilot agentCustom agent with topics + generative AICustomer support, employee self-service
Copilot extensionExtends Microsoft 365 CopilotEnterprise Copilot with custom knowledge
Autonomous agentEvent-driven, runs without user interactionMonitoring, proactive notifications
Connected agentAgent-to-agent via A2A protocolCross-domain orchestration
Embedded agentAgent embedded within another agentSpecialized sub-agent for delegation

⚠️ REQUIRED: Load Sub-Files Before Implementation

SKILL.md is a summary only — it is NOT sufficient for implementation.

The detailed content (complete payloads, XML templates, working examples, edge-case handling) lives in sub-files in the same directory as this SKILL.md. Before writing any code, you MUST use read_file on the sub-files relevant to your task:

  • Topics & Conversation Authoring — topic types, trigger phrases, conversation flow design, variables, conditions, topic management
  • Knowledge Sources — Dataverse, SharePoint, websites, files, Graph, configuration, content moderation, grounding
  • Multi-Agent Orchestration — embedded agents, connected agents, A2A protocol, agent delegation, cross-domain patterns
  • Autonomous Agents — Agent Flows in Power Automate, generative actions, event-driven triggers, Automation Center governance, computer use (Wave 1 2026)
  • MCP Integration — MCP as tool pattern in Copilot Studio, connector infrastructure (VNet, DLP, auth), when MCP vs connector actions
  • Channels & Deployment — Teams, website, mobile, Omnichannel, Agent API for Power Pages, authentication per channel
  • ALM, Governance & Testing — solution packaging, environment promotion, adversarial testing, analytics, Copilot tuning

Anti-Patterns

  • No fallback topic configured (agent goes silent on unrecognized input)
  • Generative answers enabled without content moderation
  • No escalation path to a human agent
  • Hardcoded values in topic actions instead of environment variables
  • Agents outside of solutions (can't be promoted via ALM)
  • No adversarial/prompt injection testing before deployment
  • Using authentication-required actions without configuring agent authentication
  • Overly broad knowledge sources (agent responds to off-topic queries)
  • No analytics monitoring after deployment (can't measure agent effectiveness)
  • Using MCP tools for schema creation instead of direct Web API (MCP is for reads/queries)
  • Multi-agent orchestration without defined security boundaries between agents
  • Autonomous agents without human-in-the-loop gates for destructive actions

Related Skills

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Copilot Studio AI skill do?

Microsoft Copilot Studio agent building. Use when: creating Copilot agents, multi-agent orchestration, autonomous agents, MCP integration, knowledge sources, generative actions, Agent API for Power Pages, ALM for agents, testing agents.

Why use Copilot Studio on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Copilot Studio is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Copilot Studio in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/korchard333/claude-power-platform-community/tree/main/.claude/skills/copilot-studio. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Copilot Studio?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Copilot Studio?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Copilot Studio with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Copilot Studio AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by korchard333 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
