From Scripts to Intent: How Dataverse Skills Redefines Enterprise Development

April 3, 2026April 9, 2026AI & Copilot, Power Platformby

Microsoft's Dataverse Skills represents a paradigm shift in Power Platform development—from manual tool orchestration to intent-driven AI coding. This open-source plugin for GitHub Copilot and Claude Code eliminates the developer tax of context-switching between PAC CLI, maker portal, and API documentation. Instead of writing scripts, developers describe their intent in natural language, and AI agents build complete Dataverse solutions automatically. Learn how this changes enterprise development workflows, why it matters for solution architects, and what skills-based development means for the future of low-code platforms.

GitHub Agentic Workflows: The Next Evolution of Repository Automation for Power Platform and Enterprise Developers

March 30, 2026March 31, 2026AI & Copilot, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Pcfby

Traditional GitHub Actions workflows are powerful but deterministic — they can only do what you explicitly tell them. GitHub Agentic Workflows change that. Launched in February 2026, they bring AI coding agents (Copilot CLI, Claude Code, Codex) into GitHub Actions with natural language specifications, security guardrails, and human review. Instead of writing imperative YAML, you describe outcomes in plain language and let AI agents figure out the implementation. This guide explores the six core automation categories and practical applications for Power Platform developers managing PCF controls, Dataverse solutions, and ALM pipelines.

GitHub Copilot Workspace Context: The Complete Developer Guide to Smarter AI Coding

March 13, 2026March 13, 2026AI & Copilotby

GitHub Copilot is only as smart as the context it can see. This guide explains exactly how workspace context and codebase indexing work in VS Code — remote vs local vs basic indexes, when to use #codebase vs @workspace, how to write copilot-instructions.md for your team, and six prompt patterns that consistently produce better answers. Practical, code-first, no fluff.

The Risk Decision Matrix for GitHub Copilot CLI Autopilot Mode in Power Platform

March 10, 2026March 10, 2026AI & Copilotby

GitHub Copilot CLI Autopilot mode reached GA in February 2026 — but for Power Platform, autonomous PAC CLI execution carries real risk. This article builds a scored Risk Decision Matrix mapping every PAC CLI operation to one of four zones: full Autopilot, conditional, Plan Mode only, or human-only. Includes a calculable Autopilot Safety Score formula, a ready-to-use AGENTS.md template, and preToolUse hook enforcement patterns grounded in Singapore IMDA, AWS, and McKinsey agentic governance frameworks.
