Skill instructions
Edit Action Edit an existing action (kind: TaskDialog) in a Copilot Studio agent. Supports both regular connector actions (InvokeConnectorTaskAction) and MCP server actions (InvokeExternalAgentTaskAction). Uses connector definitions to understand the full operation schema (inputs, outputs, types) and action templates as structural reference. Connector Lookup Help the user find the right connector and operation before they go to the UI. Use the connector lookup tool. Important: The connector lookup script only covers a subset of connectors (run list to see which ones). If the user's requested connector is not in the list, tell the user they need to find and add the connector action entirely through the Copilot Studio portal, then ask them to pull again the files locally. Once pulled, /copilot-studio:edit-action can still be used to customize the YAML. When the connector IS available, use the lookup tool to help the user before they go to the UI: bash node ${CLAUDESKILLDIR}/../../scripts
