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.
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
# 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) …

How to install
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/power-automate-desktop@sha256:3d9c1c6ba5496736The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
