Manage and run Power Automate Desktop (RPA) flows and machine groups. Use when the user asks about desktop flows, RPA, or machine groups.
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
# Desktop Flow Manager Manage Power Automate Desktop (RPA) flows, machine groups, and run sessions. ## Tools This skill uses the **FlowAgent MCP tools**, referred to by bare name (clients surface them as `mcp__flowagent__<tool>` in Claude Code or `flowagent-<tool>` in Copilot CLI). If no MCP tools are present, the plugin is not wired up — run the `setup` skill. | Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | `list_desktop_flows` | Browse RPA flows (filter by `name`) | | `run_desktop_flow` | Trigger with optional `machineGroup`, `body`, `timeout` | | `list_machine_groups` | Browse machine infrastructure | ## Operations ### List Desktop Flows Call `list_desktop_flows`. Present in table: Name | Status | Created | Modified ### Run Desktop Flow 1. Call `list_desktop_flows` to find the flow (if name given, use `name` filter) 2. Optionally call `list_machine_groups` to target a specific group 3. Call `run_desktop_flow` with optional `machineGroup`, `body` (input data), `timeout` 4. Report: session status (Waiting/InProgress/Failed/Cancelled/Succeeded), outputs ### Machine Infrastructure Call `list_machine_groups`. Present: Name | Type | Status | Machines

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/manage-desktop-flows@sha256:8c5933e2190bb1a7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.dcf8ca6, 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.
