generate-canvas-app
The generate-canvas-app skill is deprecated and no longer maintained. Users should migrate to the unified canvas-app skill instead, which handles both creating and editing Power Apps canvas applications and automatically detects empty apps to run the full generation workflow. Use this only if working with legacy implementations that cannot be updated.

# ⚠️ Deprecated — Use `canvas-app` This skill has been replaced by the unified **`canvas-app`** skill, which handles both creating and editing canvas apps. Please use `/canvas-app` instead. It will automatically detect that the app is empty and run the full generation workflow.
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.
