Power Platform Connect
Prerequisites Check
Before performing any Power Platform task, run the bootstrap entrypoint to ensure pwsh, .NET SDK, and pac are all present and up to date.
Linux / macOS / WSL
bash skills/power-platform-connect/scripts/ensure-pwsh.sh
Windows
skills\power-platform-connect\scripts\ensure-pwsh.cmd
When pwsh is already available
pwsh skills/power-platform-connect/scripts/check-pac.ps1
Reading the Output
The scripts emit machine-readable status markers that you can act on directly:
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
STATUS: OK | pac is installed and up to date |
STATUS: DEGRADED (latest-version-unavailable) | pac is installed but latest-version lookup failed; treat as a warning |
STATUS: ACTION_REQUIRED (pwsh-missing) | PowerShell 7 could not be installed automatically |
STATUS: ACTION_REQUIRED (dotnet-missing) | .NET SDK 10.x could not be installed automatically |
STATUS: ACTION_REQUIRED (admin-required) | Elevation is needed to install a prerequisite |
STATUS: ERROR (pac-install-failed) | pac install step failed |
When ACTION_REQUIRED or ERROR is emitted, the output also includes:
REMEDIATION:— a single actionable sentenceNEXT_COMMAND:— the exact command to run nextDETAIL:— specific version, path, or failure reason
If an automatic step fails
Follow the NEXT_COMMAND in the output. After completing the manual step, re-run the bootstrap entrypoint to continue.
