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The generate-canvas-app skill is deprecated and no longer maintained.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# ⚠️ Deprecated — Use `canvas-app` This skill has been replaced by the unified **`canvas-app`** skill, which handles both creating and editing canvas apps.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.
