CF generate-pcf-companion

Generate the dispatcher PCF for a third-party `.ppmplugin` (wrap-runtime) control. Runs `pac pcf init` in the pcf/ subfolder, rewrites ControlManifest.Input.xml from ARCHITECTURE §6, and writes index.ts derived from ARCHITECTURE §4 (message contract), §8 (PCF surface), §9 (error UX) — no placeholders. The bridge dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` to `NativeModules.<nativeModule>.<method>` via the host-injected `window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync` global (never `cordova.exec` — not in the PCF sandbox); also emits a `PowerAppsNativeExtension.d.ts` ambient declaration. Responses are peeled with `extractResponse`. Emits structured JSON debug/error logs. Validated by `npm run build`. **Local only** — does not deploy. Needs only `pac` CLI. Run after the native module exists. Uses npm (not pnpm).

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

  1. Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
  2. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  3. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 10Execution cost. Instruction body is 23362 tokens: crowds the task out of the window

  • 100Failures and branches. 6 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 20 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
  • low The response is described with custom markup (50 tags): a typed call is more reliable

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
