derive-metric SKILL.md skillA
derive-metric from microsoft/power-platform-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/derive-metric@git:20261008.ca144d2Pins git:20261008.ca144d2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a requested measure is missing, a saved custom metric needs reuse, or an ephemeral formula or derived scalar is needed.
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
# Resolve a metric gap without saving definitions
Use the [shared contract](../../references/analysis-contract.md) and
[filters/units](../../references/filters-and-units.md). Follow this order; stop at the first sufficient option.
For a business-derived measure, confirm case/event entity, outcome definition/provenance,
units, time basis and aggregation. Are amounts incremental transactions or cumulative snapshots?
Never assume sum, latest or maximum: nonmonotonic snapshots require authoritative ordering and
refund/correction semantics. Missing definitions mean **inconclusive**; ask before computing.
Do not infer formula grammar from an example name or business description.
1. **Native output first.** Use the existing metric and its correct scope/aggregation.
For cases over one day append
`{metric:"CaseDuration",comparisonOperator:"GreaterThan",values:["1.00:00:00"],isInclusive:true}`
to F's `caseMetricConditionFilters`, then
`get_cases_with_metrics_v2 {S,filterOptions:Fplus,itemsPerPage:5,itemsToSkip:0}`.
No formula is needed for ordinary duration/waiting/counts; use native grouped statistics
instead of summing a truncated cases page.

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/derive-metric@sha256:fd11a95e78c4d7a8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.ca144d2, 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.
