scan-site
Scan-site runs security scans on deployed Power Pages sites and retrieves findings in plain-language summaries. Use this skill when you need to audit a live Power Pages site for security vulnerabilities. The scan executes server-side and can take minutes to hours depending on site size. It resolves the site via website record ID, checks for running scans, optionally starts a new scan with polling, fetches the latest report, and surfaces results with context-aware recommendations for remediation.

# Scan Site
Run a security scan on a deployed Power Pages site, fetch the latest scan report, and surface findings in a plain-language summary. The scan runs server-side; duration depends on site size — small sites finish in minutes, large sites can take hours.
This skill scans the live deployed site, not local source code.
**Initial request:** $ARGUMENTS
## Gotchas
- **Website record id vs portal id.** `.powerpages-site/website.yml` stores the website record id, not the portal id. Every script takes `--portalId`. Resolve once via `website.js --websiteId` during prerequisites.
- **Never resolve by name.** Site names can duplicate inside an environment; only the website record id is safe.
- **`null` from the resolver** means the site is not deployed, or the authenticated profile points at a different environment.
- **Scans are long-running.** Duration depends on site size — small sites finish in minutes, large sites can take hours. Poll in the background and increase `--timeoutMinutes` for large sites.
- **Only one scan per site at a time.** A start while a scan is running returns `Z003` — `start-deep-scan.js` reports it as `{ "status": "already-running" }` (exit 0).
- **Rate limits may apply.** The service may throttle repeated scans on the same site. When throttled, wait and retry later.
- **No completed scan yet.** A fresh site or a site mid-scan has no completed report — `get-latest-report.js` returns `{ "status": "empty" }`.
## Workflow
1. **Prerequisites** — Locate project, confirm sign-in, identify site
2. **Check scan state** — Detect whether a scan is currently running
3. **Choose an action** — Context-aware recommendation (run new scan / show latest)
4. **Run the scan** — Start and poll for completion
5. **Fetch and summarize** — Get the report, present findings
6. **Walk through follow-ups** — Route issues to the right downstream skill (only if the report contains issues)
## Task Tracking
Create tasks in four groups. Mark each `in_progress` when starting, `completed` when done.
| Group | When to create | Tasks |
|-------|----------------|-------|
| 1 | At start | Check prerequisites |
| 2 | After prerequisites pass | Check scan state · Choose an action (skip in review mode) |
| 3 | After user confirms an action (or in review mode) | Run the scan (skip only if the user chose to view latest results in interactive mode) · Fetch and summarize (always) |
| 4 | After fetch and summarize | Walk through follow-ups (only if the report contains issues AND not in review mode) |

## 1. Prerequisites
### 1.1 Locate the project, detect review mode
Use `Glob` to find `**/powerpages.config.json`. If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--review <out-dir>`, remember the output directory — Step 3 (choose an action) is skipped, Step 4 (run scan) executes automatically (start a fresh scan or attach to a running one), Step 5 writes JSON only, and Step 6 (follow-ups) is skipped.
### 1.2 Resolve site identifiers
Read `.powerpages-site/website.yml` → extract `id` field → that is `<WEBSITE_ID>`.
If missing, the site has not been deployed. Tell the user and recommend `/deploy-site`. Stop. Do **not** resolve by name or URL.
Resolve to portalId:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/website.js" --websiteId "<WEBSITE_ID>"
```
Capture `Id` (portalId), `Type`, `Name`, `WebsiteUrl`. If exit code `2` → sign-in required (`pac auth create` or `az login`). If `null` → site not found in this environment. Stop in either case.
---
## 2. Check scan state
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/scan-site/scripts/poll-deep-scan.js" --portalId "<PORTAL_ID>" --once
```
`--once` does a single status check, exits 0, and prints:
- `{ "status": "ongoing" }` → a scan is currently running.
- `{ "status": "idle" }` → no scan running.
Then call `get-latest-report.js` to know whether a completed report exists:
```bash
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/scan-site/scripts/get-latest-report.js" --portalId "<PORTAL_ID>"
```
`{ "status": "ok" }` means a report is available. `{ "status": "empty" }` means no completed scan exists.
---
## 3. Choose an action
Skip in **review mode** — go straight to Step 4 (which always runs in review mode).
MUST use plain language only. Never use words like CSP, CORS, OWASP, hardening, or scan profile.
### Default approach
<!-- gate: scan-site:3.action-choice | category=plan | cancel-leaves=nothing -->
> 🚦 **Gate (plan · scan-site:3.action-choice):** Recommend an action based on the site's scan state (running, idle, has report, no report), then ask the user to accept or choose differently. Starting a new scan triggers a multi-minute backend run; using an existing report is free.
>
> **Trigger:** Phase 3 entry (interactive mode only — review mode bypasses to step 4).
> **Why we ask:** Auto-starting a new scan wastes minutes if a recent report already answers the question; auto-using a stale report misses recent findings.
> **Cancel leaves:** Nothing — no scan triggered, no report consumed.
Analyze the site's current state and **recommend the single most relevant action** via `AskUserQuestion`:
- Scan running, no completed report → recommend waiting for the running scan to finish.
- Scan running, report exists → recommend showing the latest results while the new scan continues.
- Idle, no completed report → recommend running a new scan.
- Idle, recent report exists → ask whether to use the existing report or run a fresh scan.
If the site's state does not warrant a specific recommendation, do not force one — ask what the user wants to do.
### Option rules
<!-- not-a-gate: meta-documentation describing how to structure `AskUserQuestion` options in this skill — not a literal call site. The actual prompt ("use existing report / run a fresh scan") fires dynamically in §3 Default approach. See approval-gates.md §6.24a + §6.27. -Guide the user to add a data source, connection, or API connector to a Canvas App via Power Apps Studio, then verify and continue. USE WHEN the user asks to add a data source, add a connection, add an API, add a connector, connect to SharePoint / Dataverse / SQL / Excel / OneDrive / Teams / Office 365, or any similar request to make new data available to the app. DO NOT USE WHEN the user is asking to list or describe existing data sources — call list_data_sources or list_apis directly instead.
Creates or edits a Power Apps Canvas App through the Canvas Authoring MCP coauthoring session. Handles new app generation from requirements, simple inline edits, and complex multi-screen changes with parallel screen builders. Triggers on requests to create, build, generate, modify, update, change, or edit a Canvas App or .pa.yaml files.
Configure the Canvas Authoring MCP server for the current coauthoring session. USE WHEN "configure MCP", "set up MCP server", "MCP not working", "connect Canvas Apps MCP", "canvas-authoring not available", "MCP not configured", "set up canvas apps". DO NOT USE WHEN prerequisites are missing — direct the user to install .NET 10 SDK first.
