Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill deploy- 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 deploy 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.
📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md - Cross-cutting concerns.
Deploy
Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.
Workflow
- Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank
Step 1: Check Memory Bank
Check for memory-bank.md in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.
Step 2: Build
npm run build
If the build fails:
- TS6133 (unused import): Remove the unused import and retry.
- Other TypeScript errors: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.
Verify dist/ exists with index.html before continuing.
Step 3: Deploy
Ask the user: "Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app." Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.
Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as
$PA app push(npx --no-install pa …), never a barepa. Onpower-apps-only projects, translate topower-apps push.
pa app push
Capture the app URL from the output if present.
If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:
- Auth error / token expired →
pa auth logout(orpower-apps logoutonpower-apps-only projects), then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login. - Environment mismatch → update
environmentIdinpower.config.jsonto the correct value and retry.
Step 4: Update Memory Bank
If memory-bank.md exists, update:
- Last deployed timestamp
- App URL (if captured)
FAQ
What does the deploy skill do?

How do I install deploy?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill deploy 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/deploy/ (personal) or .claude/skills/deploy/ (project).
Which AI agents can use deploy?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is deploy safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains deploy?
It is published by microsoft in microsoft/power-platform-skills, and it is an official skill from the maker of the technology it covers. It has 241 recorded installs.

USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

azure-deploy
microsoft/azure-skills
Execute Azure deployments for ALREADY-PREPARED applications that have existing .azure/deployment-plan.md and infrastructure files. DO NOT use this skill when the user asks to CREATE a new application — use azure-prepare instead.

WHEN: "run azd up", "run azd deploy", "execute deployment", "push to production", "push to cloud", "go live", "ship it", "bicep deploy", "terraform apply", "publish to Azure", "launch on Azure". DO NOT USE WHEN: "create and deploy", "build and deploy", "create a new app", "set up infrastructure", "create and deploy to Azure using Terraform" — use azure-prepare for these.
azure-validate

Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), RBAC role assignments, managed identity permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment, verify RBAC roles, check role assignments, review managed identity permissions, what-if analysis, validate Container Apps deployment.
