Skill instructions
Add Node to Topic Add a new node to an existing Copilot Studio topic, or modify an existing one. In Copilot Studio, the elements inside a topic's actions array are nodes (SendActivity, Question, ConditionGroup, etc.). These are different from actions (actions/.mcs.yml), which are connector-based TaskDialogs. This skill handles nodes within topics. For generative answers (SearchAndSummarizeContent, AnswerQuestionWithAI), use the /add-generative-answers skill instead — it has the specific patterns, follow-up ConditionGroup logic, and disambiguation guidance needed to set them up correctly. Instructions 1. Auto-discover the agent directory: Glob: /agent.mcs.yml NEVER hardcode an agent name. 2. Parse the arguments to identify: - The node type (SendActivity, Question, SetVariable, ConditionGroup, etc.) - The target topic file - If modifying an existing node, which node to modify 3. Look up the node schema: bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js resolve <NodeType 4
