Q: How do I install add-azuredevops?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill add-azuredevops in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/add-azuredevops/ (personal) or .claude/skills/add-azuredevops/ (project).

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill add-azuredevops

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads add-azuredevops automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Add Azure DevOps

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Apply HttpRequest Fix → 4. Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

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

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Azure DevOps connection 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.

pa app add data-source --connector azuredevops -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Apply HttpRequest Fix (Required)

The generated code has a known issue: the HttpRequest method uses parameters as the parameter name, but the API expects body. Rename parameters to body in these 3 files:

Use the Edit tool to rename parameters to body in each file:

1. src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts: Find the HttpRequest method. Rename the parameter and its usage:

// BEFORE (generated):
async HttpRequest(parameters: any) {
  const params = { parameters: parameters, ... };

// AFTER (fixed):
async HttpRequest(body: any) {
  const params = { body: body, ... };

2. .power/appschemas/dataSourceInfo.ts: Find the visualstudioteamservices → HttpRequest → parameters section. Rename the property key:

// BEFORE (generated):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    parameters: { ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
HttpRequest: {
  parameters: {
    body: { ... }

3. .power/schemas/visualstudioteamservices/visualstudioteamservices.Schema.json: Find the /{connectionId}/httprequest → post → parameters array. Change the name field:

// BEFORE (generated):
{ "name": "parameters", "in": "body", ... }

// AFTER (fixed):
{ "name": "body", "in": "body", ... }

Step 4: Configure

Ask the user what Azure DevOps operations they need (query work items, create items, trigger pipelines, etc.).

HttpRequest -- make arbitrary ADO REST API calls:

await AzureDevOpsService.HttpRequest({
  Uri: "https://dev.azure.com/{org}/{project}/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=7.2",
  Method: "POST",
  Body: JSON.stringify({
    query:
      "SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project"
  })
});

Docs: Azure DevOps REST API

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/AzureDevOpsService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, HttpRequest fix applied, build status.
