What problem does it solve?
Deploying a Power Pages site from development to production involves many decisions β promotion strategy, target environments, solution splitting, environment variables, and approvals β and doing it ad hoc leads to missed components and failed deployments. This Skill gathers all of that upfront and produces a single reviewed, approved plan that downstream deployment skills execute against.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Project State Detection: Reads the local site identity, existing solution manifest, and pipeline state, then queries the live Dataverse environment for site settings, solution size, and environment variable definitions.
- Strategy Gathering & Sizing: Asks targeted questions about Power Platform Pipelines versus manual export/import, runs a solution-size estimator and split decision tree, and flags large assets for Azure Blob externalization.
- Visual Plan Generation: Renders an interactive HTML plan document (docs/alm-plan.html) with size analysis, solutions, pipelines, validation, and execution checklist tabs, then captures explicit user approval.
- Use Case: A developer finishes a Power Pages site in a dev environment and asks to "plan my ALM" β the Skill detects the site, estimates a 120 MB solution, recommends a two-solution split, and produces an approved plan that setup-solution, setup-pipeline, and deploy-pipeline later execute in order.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to plan ALM for my Power Pages site and create a deployment plan for promoting it from dev to production.
