Skill instructions
DirectLine Chat (Deprecated) This skill has been merged into /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent, which now auto-detects the agent's authentication mode and uses DirectLine automatically for no-auth and manual-auth agents. Use /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent instead. It handles both DirectLine and Copilot Studio SDK modes in a single skill. If you are here because the caller explicitly provided a DirectLine secret or token endpoint URL, you may proceed with the instructions below. Otherwise, redirect to /copilot-studio:chat-with-agent. --- Direct Usage (when caller provides explicit DirectLine credentials) Token endpoint mode bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \ --token-endpoint "<url" "<utterance" DirectLine secret mode bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \ --directline-secret "<secret" "<utterance" Multi-turn bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts/directline-chat.bundle.js \ --token-endpoint "<url" "<follow-up" \ --conve
