Skill instructions
Detect Agent Authentication Mode Query the Dataverse bots entity to determine whether the agent uses DirectLine (no auth / manual auth) or the Copilot Studio SDK (integrated auth / Entra ID SSO). Instructions 1. Run the detect-only command: bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts/chat-with-agent.bundle.js --detect-only $ARGUMENTS If the agent is not at the project root, pass --agent-dir <path. 2. Parse the JSON output from stdout: DirectLine mode (authenticationmode 1 or 3) json { "status": "ok", "mode": "directline", "authenticationmode": 1, "tokenEndpoint": "https://...", "schemaName": "..." } The agent uses no authentication or manual authentication. No user credentials needed. The tokenEndpoint is ready to use with /copilot-studio:chat-directline. M365 mode (authenticationmode 2) json { "status": "ok", "mode": "m365", "authenticationmode": 2, "schemaName": "..." } The agent uses integrated authentication (Entra ID SSO). An App Registration Client ID is needed for /copilot-studio:
