Skill instructions
Plugin check: Run node "${PLUGINROOT}/scripts/check-version.js" — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding. Add Sample Data Populate Dataverse tables with sample records via OData API so users can test and demo their Power Pages sites. Core Principles - Respect insertion order: Always insert parent/referenced tables before child/referencing tables so lookup IDs are available when needed. - Use TaskCreate/TaskUpdate: Track all progress throughout all phases -- create the todo list upfront with all phases before starting any work. - Fail gracefully: On insertion failure, log the error and continue with remaining records -- never attempt automated rollback. Initial request: $ARGUMENTS --- Phase 1: Verify Prerequisites Goal: Confirm PAC CLI auth, acquire an Azure CLI token, and verify API access Actions: 1. Create todo list with all 6 phases (see Progress Tracking table) 2. Follow the prerequisite steps in ${PLUGINROOT}/references/dataverse-prerequisites.md to verify
Verified compatibility and discovery
