Step 2: Gather Requirements

Skip questions the user already answered in their initial instruction.

If the user has not described what they want to build (i.e., /create-code-app was invoked with no arguments or a vague prompt), start with a single open-ended question before asking anything else:

"What would you like to build? Describe it in your own words — what it does, who uses it, and what problem it solves."

Wait for their answer. Use it to frame all follow-up questions. Do NOT present a multiple-choice list of app types before the user has described their idea.

Once you have their description:

1. Confirm the app name and clarify the purpose if needed
2. Ask about data -- focus on what the app needs to do, not specific technologies:
   • "What data does your app need to work with?" (e.g., company emails, project tasks, custom business records)
   • "Does your app need to search existing information, manage its own data, or both?"
   • Based on their answers, recommend the best approach:
     • Store and manage custom business data (tables, forms, CRUD) → Dataverse (/add-dataverse)
     • Interact with specific services (send emails, post messages, manage files) → the appropriate connector
   • If they mention existing Dataverse tables, SharePoint lists, or connectors by name, use those directly
3. Ask about UI requirements: key screens, layout, interactions, theme preference
4. Ask any clarifying questions now -- resolve all ambiguity before entering plan mode

Step 3: Plan

1. Enter plan mode with EnterPlanMode
2. Design the full implementation approach:
   • Which /add-* skills to run for data sources
   • App architecture: components, pages, state management
   • Feature list with priority order
3. Present plan for approval, include allowedPrompts from prerequisites-reference.md
4. Exit plan mode with ExitPlanMode when approved

Step 4: Scaffold

Ask the user for a folder name. Default to powerapps-{app-name-slugified}-{timestamp} if they don't have a preference.

IMPORTANT: Use npx degit to download the template. Do NOT use git clone, do NOT manually create files, do NOT download from GitHub UI. degit downloads the template without git history.

npx degit microsoft/PowerAppsCodeApps/templates/vite {folder} --force
cd {folder}
npm install

Notes:

• Use --force to overwrite if the directory already has files (e.g., .claude from a planning session)
