About deploy

A skill that builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform. It checks project memory, runs the build, requires confirmation before deployment, and updates deployment details afterward when a memory file exists.

Key features

  1. 01Reads project memory when available
  2. 02Runs npm build
  3. 03Checks build output
  4. 04Requires deployment confirmation
  5. 05Updates deployment memory

Use cases

  1. 01Deploying a built app to Power Platform
  2. 02Checking build errors before deployment
  3. 03Recording the deployment URL and timestamp

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill deploy

After installing, type/deployin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Deploy

Builds and deploys the app in the current directory to Power Platform.

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Build → 3. Deploy → 4. Update Memory Bank
Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md in the project root. If found, read it for the project name and environment. If not found, proceed — the project may have been created without the plugin.

Step 2: Build
npm run build

If the build fails:

  • TS6133 (unused import): Remove the unused import and retry.
  • Other TypeScript errors: Report the error with the file and line number and stop. Do not deploy a broken build.

Verify dist/ exists with index.html before continuing.

Step 3: Deploy

Ask the user: "Ready to deploy to [environment name]? This will update the live app." Wait for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as $PA app push (npx --no-install pa …), never a bare pa. On power-apps-only projects, translate to power-apps push.

pa app push

Capture the app URL from the output if present.

If deploy fails, report the error and stop — do not retry silently. Common fixes:

  • Auth error / token expired → pa auth logout (or power-apps logout on power-apps-only projects), then retry — the CLI will re-prompt browser login.
  • Environment mismatch → update environmentId in power.config.json to the correct value and retry.
Step 4: Update Memory Bank

If memory-bank.md exists, update:

  • Last deployed timestamp
  • App URL (if captured)
