Skill: Power Automate Cloud Flows

When to Use

Trigger when designing, building, reviewing, or debugging Power Automate cloud flows.

Flow Design Principles

1. Idempotent flows: Re-running the same trigger should produce the same result
2. Error handling first: Add try/catch scope before writing the happy path
3. Minimal permissions: Use service principal connections for production
4. No hardcoded IDs: Use environment variables or dynamic lookups
5. Name every action: Descriptive action names are your documentation
6. Solution-aware: Every production flow must be inside a solution
