Skill instructions
MCS Agent Builder — Unified Hybrid Build Stack Build agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio using the optimized hybrid approach: PAC CLI for listing agents and solution ALM, LSP wrapper for instructions, model, topics, knowledge, and full component sync, Dataverse API for file uploads and PvaPublish, and user-guided manual steps for new OAuth connections. This skill handles all build modes: - Single Agent — standalone build - Multi-Agent — builds specialists first, then orchestrator with child connections Build Discipline — Verify-Then-Mark These rules apply to every build step, because unverified changes silently accumulate into broken agents. 1. Atomic tasks: Every build step is a separate task. "Generate file" and "upload file" and "run eval" are three tasks, not one. 2. Verify after every action: After each change, snapshot or read-back to confirm it worked. 3. Do not mark a task complete until verified: If you can't verify, say "I did X but couldn't verify Y". 4. File generation is no
