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.
5 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 Integration Patterns AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/korchard333/claude-power-platform-community/tree/main/.claude/skills/integration-patterns
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

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/integration-patterns .claude/skills/integration-patterns

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Integration Patterns 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 Integration Patterns 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 Integration Patterns 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: Integration Patterns

When to Use

Trigger when designing integrations between Power Platform and Azure services — Service Bus messaging, Azure Functions for compute, Dataverse webhooks, Event Grid, on-premises gateway, VNet connectivity, or hybrid architectures.

Integration Pattern Overview

Pattern	Direction	Coupling	Best For
Service Bus	Dataverse → Azure (async)	Loose	Reliable messaging, event distribution
Azure Functions	Bidirectional	Medium	Custom compute, API intermediary
Webhooks	Dataverse → External (sync/async)	Loose	Real-time push notifications
Event Grid	Azure → Power Platform	Loose	Azure event-driven triggers
On-premises gateway	Power Platform → On-prem	Tight	Legacy system access
VNet integration	Power Platform ↔ Azure VNet	Tight	Network-level security
Custom connectors	Power Platform → Any API	Medium	REST API integration

⚠️ 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:

Service Bus — Azure Service Bus integration, topic/queue patterns, Dataverse plugin to Service Bus, reliable messaging, dead-letter handling, session-aware processing
Azure Functions — when to use Functions vs plugins vs flows, HTTP-triggered for Custom Connectors, Dataverse bindings, managed identity auth, cold start mitigation
Webhooks & Events — Dataverse webhooks (real-time push), webhook registration via API, payload schema, retry behavior, Event Grid integration
Hybrid Connectivity — on-premises data gateway, Azure VNet integration, private endpoints for Dataverse, Azure Relay, security considerations

Decision Table: Which Integration Pattern?

Requirement	Pattern	Why
Reliable async messaging	Service Bus	Guaranteed delivery, dead-letter, retry
Real-time event notification	Webhook	Immediate push on data change
Custom compute (validation, transformation)	Azure Function	Serverless, scalable, any language
Legacy on-prem database access	On-prem gateway	Bridge to SQL, Oracle, SAP
Network-isolated Azure resources	VNet integration	Private endpoint access
Fan-out to multiple subscribers	Service Bus topics or Event Grid	One event, many consumers
Simple REST API call	Custom connector	Low-code, reusable
High-volume batch processing	Azure Function + Service Bus	Decouple producer from consumer

Anti-Patterns

Synchronous HTTP calls in Dataverse plugins to external APIs (2-minute timeout, blocks user)
On-premises gateway for everything (single point of failure, bottleneck)
No dead-letter handling on Service Bus (lost messages go unnoticed)
Webhook without retry-aware endpoint (missed events)
Azure Functions with long cold starts on critical paths (user-facing latency)
Tight coupling between Dataverse and external systems (breaks when external system changes)
No monitoring on integration points (failures go undetected)
VNet integration without private endpoints (traffic still goes over public internet)

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 Integration Patterns AI skill do?

Why use Integration Patterns on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Integration Patterns 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 Integration Patterns in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/korchard333/claude-power-platform-community/tree/main/.claude/skills/integration-patterns. 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 Integration Patterns?

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 Integration Patterns?

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

Is the Integration Patterns 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.
