Add generative answer nodes (SearchAndSummarizeContent or AnswerQuestionWithAI) to a Copilot Studio topic. Use this instead of /add-node when the user asks to add grounded answers, knowledge search, generative answers, or AI-powered responses — these nodes require specific patterns (ConditionGroup follow-up, knowledge source references, autoSend, responseCaptureType) that /add-node does not cover.

Validate a Copilot Studio YAML file against the schema and best practices. Use when the user asks to check, validate, or verify a YAML file.

Modify topic triggers — trigger phrases and model description. Use when the user asks to add, remove, or change trigger phrases, or edit a topic's model description.

Edit Copilot Studio agent settings, instructions, or configuration. Use when the user asks to change agent instructions, display name, conversation starters, AI settings, or generative actions toggle.

Look up Copilot Studio YAML schema definitions. Use when the user asks about schema structure, element properties, or how to use a specific YAML kind.

Add child agents, connected agents, or other multi-agent patterns to a Copilot Studio agent. Use when the user asks to create a sub-agent, child agent, connected agent, or call another agent.

Generate and insert an Adaptive Card into a Copilot Studio topic using AdaptiveCardPrompt. Use when the user asks to add an adaptive card, rich card, form card, info card, confirmation card, or interactive card to a topic.

Reference tables for Copilot Studio YAML authoring: triggers, actions, variables, entities, Power Fx functions, templates. Preloaded by author and troubleshoot agents.

Send a message to a bot via DirectLine v3 REST API and get the full response. Use when the user has a DirectLine secret or Copilot Studio token endpoint URL. Supports auth/sign-in flows via OAuthCard detection.

Add a knowledge source (public website or SharePoint) to a Copilot Studio agent. Use when the user asks to add a knowledge source, documentation URL, website, or SharePoint site for the agent to search.

Add or modify a node in an existing Copilot Studio topic. Use when the user asks to add a question, message, condition, variable, or other node to a topic. Do NOT use this for generative answers or knowledge search — use /add-generative-answers instead.

Guide users through adding a new connector action to a Copilot Studio agent. Connector actions require UI-based connection setup, so this skill walks users through the Copilot Studio portal steps, then delegates to edit-action for YAML modifications.

List all available kind discriminator values from the Copilot Studio YAML schema. Use when the user asks what kinds/types are available.

Debug and fix Copilot Studio agent issues — validate YAML, diagnose wrong topic routing, resolve validation errors, analyze unexpected behavior.

Create a new Copilot Studio topic YAML file. Use when the user asks to create a new topic, conversation flow, or dialog for their agent.

List all topics in the Copilot Studio agent with their trigger types, phrases, and action counts. Use when the user wants to see what topics exist.

Test a published Copilot Studio agent — send test messages, run batch test suites, or analyze evaluation results.

Edit an existing connector action (TaskDialog) in a Copilot Studio agent. Modify inputs, outputs, descriptions, connection mode, and other properties using connector definitions as reference.

Add a global variable to a Copilot Studio agent. Use when the user needs a variable that persists across topics in the same conversation and can optionally be visible to the AI orchestrator.

Best practices for Copilot Studio agents. Covers JIT glossary loading (customer acronyms, terminology), JIT user context provisioning (M365 profile, country, department), the shared OnActivity initialization pattern, dynamic topic redirects with Switch expressions, and preventing child agents from responding directly to users. USE FOR: glossary, acronyms, user context, user profile, country-aware answers, JIT initialization, OnActivity provisioning, conversation-init, personalized knowledge, dynamic redirect, Switch, BeginDialog, if/then/else replacement, child agent responses, completion setting, SendMessageTool, output variables, connected agents. DO NOT USE FOR: general knowledge sources (use add-knowledge), topic creation (use new-topic).
