low-code-vs-pro-code skillA

low-code-vs-pro-code is agent-read markdown (skill) from jnpiyush/agentx: Evaluate and review whether a solution should be built with low-code/no-code platforms (Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, Logic Apps, AppSheet, OutSystems, Mendix) or pro-code (custom code on Foundry, Agent Framework, .NET, Python, React, Azure Functions, AKS, etc.). Use when reviewing an ADR/Tech Spec that proposes one approach, when an issue could plausibly go either way, or when an existing low-code solution is hitting its ceiling and pro-code is being considered..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Low-Code vs Pro-Code Architecture Review

> Purpose: give the Architect and Architecture Reviewer a repeatable rubric for choosing between low-code platforms and pro-code, and for reviewing whether an existing decision still fits.
> Focus: decision criteria, anti-patterns, review checklist, escalation triggers. Not a tutorial for any specific platform.

## When to Use

- Reviewing an ADR that picks Copilot Studio, Power Apps, Power Automate, Logic Apps, or another low-code platform
- Reviewing an ADR that picks pro-code where a low-code platform would have been adequate
- An existing low-code solution is hitting limits (perf, governance, complexity) and a migration is proposed
- An AI agent is being scoped and the team must choose between Copilot Studio (declarative, low-code) and Foundry/Agent Framework (pro-code)
- The user explicitly asks "should this be low-code or pro-code?"
