power-automate-desktop skillA
power-automate-desktop is agent-read markdown (skill) from jnpiyush/agentx: Author Microsoft Power Automate desktop (RPA) flows -- attended and unattended robotic process automation that drives UI, browsers, files, and Excel -- so an agent can design the action sequence, variables, error handling, and cloud-flow trigger wiring. Covers when RPA is appropriate versus API/connector automation and the desktop-flow execution model..
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
# Power Automate Desktop (RPA) > Purpose: design Power Automate desktop flows that automate UI-driven work no API exposes -- the automation of last resort -- with robust selectors, variables, and error handling. ## When to Use (RPA Is a Last Resort) Use a desktop flow only when there is no connector, API, or cloud flow that can do the job: - Driving a legacy desktop app or a website with no API - Screen-scraping or form-filling a system you cannot change Always prefer, in order: native connector -> custom connector over a documented API -> HTTP action -> desktop flow (RPA). RPA is brittle (UI changes break selectors) and needs a machine/runtime -- only choose it when nothing higher wins. ## Attended vs Unattended | | Attended | Unattended | |--|----------|------------| | Runs | With a signed-in user watching | On a machine with no interactive user | | Trigger | User starts it, or a cloud flow | Scheduled / cloud-flow, queued on a machine group | | Use for | Human-in-the-loop, desktop apps the user owns | Lights-out batch processing | ## Flow Structure (Designer Model) …
