Deploy the dispatcher PCF for a third-party `.ppmplugin` control to a Power Platform environment via `pac pcf push`. The dispatcher PCF is the Studio-side control that dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` over the wrap shell's `SendMessagePlugin` bridge to the control's native module. Verifies deploy prereqs (Node.js 20+ with npm, .NET SDK, and active `pac auth`), then three confirmation gates — publisher prefix (2–8 chars; defaults to `pamext` or the last-used value from…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /publish-pcf-companion
On-demand deployment of the **dispatcher PCF** for a third-party `.ppmplugin` control to a Power Platform environment. The dispatcher PCF is the Studio-side control that dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` over the wrap shell's `SendMessagePlugin` bridge to the control's native module. Runs `pac pcf push` against the user's active `pac auth` profile. Decoupled from `/generate-pcf-companion` — the engineer scaffolds locally, customizes / iterates, then deploys when ready.

## Step 1 — Read shared docs and verify prereqs
1. Read [`shared/shared-instructions.md`](../../shared/shared-instructions.md), [`shared/naming-conventions.md`](../../shared/naming-conventions.md).
2. Apply the **per-skill minimal prereq policy** ([`shared-instructions.md §1.5`](../../shared/shared-instructions.md)). This skill needs Node.js 20+ with npm, `pac` CLI, .NET SDK, and an active `pac auth` profile. It does not need pnpm.
**Print the prereq status as a visible block per `shared-instructions.md §9.2`** before continuing:

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/publish-pcf-companion@sha256:e298f57ec3897708The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.3e1606b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
