Add Connector (Generic)

Fallback skill for any connector not covered by a specific

/add-*

skill. For common connectors, prefer the dedicated skills:

```
/add-dataverse
```
-- Dataverse tables
```
/add-azuredevops
```
-- Azure DevOps
```
/add-teams
```
-- Microsoft Teams
```
/add-excel
```
-- Excel Online (Business)
```
/add-onedrive
```
-- OneDrive for Business
```
/add-sharepoint
```
-- SharePoint Online
```
/add-office365
```
-- Office 365 Outlook (calendar, email, contacts)

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Identify Connector → 3. Add Connector → 4. Inspect & Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for

memory-bank.md

per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Identify Connector

If
$ARGUMENTS
is provided or the caller already specified the connector, use it directly and skip the question below.

Otherwise, ask the user which connector they want to add. Browse available connectors: Connector Reference

Before proceeding, check if the connector has a dedicated skill. If it does, delegate immediately and STOP:

Connector API name	Delegate to
`sharepointonline`	`/add-sharepoint`
`teams`	`/add-teams`
`excelonlinebusiness`	`/add-excel`
`onedriveforbusiness`	`/add-onedrive`
`azuredevops`	`/add-azuredevops`
`office365`	`/add-office365`
`commondataservice`	`/add-dataverse`

Invoke the appropriate skill with the same

$ARGUMENTS

and do not continue this skill's workflow.

Common connector API names:

sharepointonline

teams

excelonlinebusiness

onedriveforbusiness

```
azuredevops
```
,
```
azureblob
```
,
```
azurequeues
```
```
office365
```
,
```
office365users
```
,
```
office365groups
```
```
sql
```
,
```
commondataservice
```

Step 3: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the

/list-connections

skill. Find the connector in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from

power.config.json

or a prior step):

https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections

→ + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

bash

# Non-tabular connectors (Teams, Azure DevOps, etc.)
pwsh -NoProfile -Command "pac code add-data-source -a <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id>"

# Tabular connectors (SharePoint, Excel, SQL, etc.) -- also need dataset and table
pwsh -NoProfile -Command "pac code add-data-source -a <connector-api-name> -c <connection-id> -d '<dataset>' -t '<table>'"

Parameter reference:

```
-a
```
(apiId) -- connector name (e.g.,
```
sharepointonline
```
,
```
teams
```
)
```
-c
```
(connectionId) -- required for all non-Dataverse connectors. Get from
```
/list-connections
```
.
```
-d
```
(dataset) -- required for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint site URL, SQL database). Not needed for Dataverse.
```
-t
```
(table) -- table/list name for tabular datasources (e.g., SharePoint list, Dataverse table logical name)

Step 4: Inspect & Configure

After adding, inspect the generated files. Generated service files can be very large -- use

Grep

to find specific methods instead of reading the entire file:

Grep pattern="async \w+" path="src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts"

Files to check:

src/generated/services/<Connector>Service.ts

-- available operations and their parameters

src/generated/models/<Connector>Model.ts

-- TypeScript interfaces (if generated)

```
.power/schemas/<connector>/
```
-- connector schema and configuration

For each method the user needs:

Grep for the method name to find its signature
Read just that method's section (use
```
offset
```
and
```
limit
```
parameters on Read)
Identify required vs optional parameters and response type

Help the user write code using the generated service methods.

Step 5: Build

powershell

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update

memory-bank.md

with: connector added, configured operations, build status.
