Install Lookup Schema

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add microsoft/skills-for-copilot-studio --skill lookup-schema

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads lookup-schema when the request matches its description.

If it does not trigger, say “use the lookup-schema skill”. In Codex, type $lookup-schema.

Lookup Schema Definition

Look up and explain a Copilot Studio YAML schema definition.

Instructions

  1. Run the schema lookup script to find the definition:

    node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js lookup $ARGUMENTS

  2. If the definition is not found, search for similar definitions:

    node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js search $ARGUMENTS

  3. If the definition contains $ref references that need resolution, use:

    node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/schema-lookup.bundle.js resolve $ARGUMENTS

  4. Present the schema definition in a readable format, explaining:

    • What the element does (from the description)
    • Required properties
    • Optional properties and their types
    • Any related definitions that might be useful

Example

User: /lookup-schema SendActivity

Response should include the full schema definition and explain how to use it in YAML.
