slide1. Copilot Studio Plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code Copilot Studio Architecture Bootcamp<br>
slide2. 2 What Is It? A plugin for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and VS Code that enables authoring, testing, and troubleshooting Microsoft Copilot Studio agents through YAML files — directly from your terminal or editor. Manage Clone, push, pull, and sync agent content between local files and the cloud Author Create and edit YAML — topics, actions, knowledge, triggers, variables Test Point-tests, batch suites, or evaluation analysis against published agents Troubleshoot Debug wrong topic routing, validation errors, and unexpected behavior<br>
slide3. 3 How It Works Developer Terminal / Editor ▶ Plugin Skills + Agents ▶ VS Code Ext LSP Host Binary ▶ Copilot Studio Cloud Service Local YAML Files • agent.mcs.yml — Agent configuration • topics/ — Conversation topics (YAML) • actions/ — Plugin actions & connectors • knowledge/ — Knowledge sources • templates/ — Reusable YAML patterns Plugin Components • 4 specialized agents (manage, author, test, troubleshoot) • 30+ skills (topic creation, validation, schema lookup…) • Bundled Node.js scripts (schema, DirectLine chat) • YAML templates for common patterns • Eval framework for scenario testing<br>
slide4. 4 The Four Agents /copilot-studio-manage Clone, push, pull, and sync agent content between local files and the cloud. Skills: clone • pull • push /copilot-studio-author Create and edit YAML topics, actions, knowledge sources, triggers, and variables. Skills: new-topic • add-action • add-knowledge • edit-triggers /copilot-studio-test Test published agents with point-tests, batch suites, or evaluation analysis. Skills: chat-with-agent • run-tests • create-eval /copilot-studio-troubleshoot Debug issues — wrong topic routing, validation errors, and unexpected behavior. Skills: validate • known-issues • best-practices<br>
slide5. 5 Quick Start Workflow 1 Clone Download agent from the cloud (browser auth) /copilot-studio:copilot-studio-manage clone 2 Author AI generates valid YAML with unique IDs /copilot-studio:copilot-studio-author Create a topic for IT requests 3 Validate Check for schema errors and best practices /copilot-studio:copilot-studio-troubleshoot Validate all topics 4 Push Upload changes back to Copilot Studio /copilot-studio:copilot-studio-manage push 5 Publish Make changes live (push creates a draft) Copilot Studio UI → Publish 6 Test Verify the published agent responds correctly /copilot-studio:copilot-studio-test Send "How do I request a laptop?"<br>
slide6. 6 Installation Prerequisites ✓ Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, or VS Code ✓ Node.js 18+ ✓ VS Code with Copilot Studio Extension (for push/pull/clone) ✓ Access to a Power Platform environment with Copilot Studio From Marketplace (Recommended) /plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills-for-copilot-studio
/plugin install copilot-studio@skills-for-copilot-studio From VS Code Extensions Store Search "Skills for Copilot Studio" with the @agentPlugins filter From Local Clone git clone https://github.com/microsoft/skills-for-copilot-studio.git<br>
slide7. 7 Testing Capabilities Point Tests Send a single utterance to the published agent and see its full response. Supports multi-turn conversations. ❯ Send "What products do you offer?" to the published agent Batch Test Suites Run pre-defined test sets with expected responses and pass/fail scoring via the Power CAT Copilot Studio Kit. ❯ Run my test suite Evaluation Analysis Export evaluation results from Copilot Studio UI as CSV, then analyze failures and get fix suggestions. ❯ Analyze my evaluation results from ~/Downloads/eval.csv<br>

slide9. 9 Platform Support Claude Code CLI Full support Install from marketplace or local clone. All 4 agents and 30+ skills available. Auto-updates from marketplace. GitHub Copilot CLI Full support Same marketplace install flow. Manual updates via /plugin update. Full agent and skill support. VS Code (Copilot Chat) In progress Extension available in VS Code store via @agentPlugins filter. SessionStart hook integration pending (#116).<br>
