Generate the dispatcher PCF for a third-party `.ppmplugin` (wrap-runtime) control. Runs `pac pcf init` in the pcf/ subfolder, rewrites ControlManifest.Input.xml from ARCHITECTURE §6, and writes index.ts derived from ARCHITECTURE §4 (message contract), §8 (PCF surface), §9 (error UX) — no placeholders. The bridge dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` to `NativeModules.<nativeModule>.<method>` via the host-injected `window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync` global…
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
# /generate-pcf-companion Generates the dispatcher PCF — the Canvas Studio control that calls the third-party native module through the host-injected `window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync` global, routed by the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` read from the committed `./manifest.json` (the source of truth `/generate-native-extension` authors at scaffold time). Lives at `pcf/<Pascal>PCF/` in the same repo the native module lives in. The PCF is a Studio-side companion; it is **NOT** part of the `.ppmplugin` bundle (the bundle ships native binaries only — `manifest.json` + `android/`/`ios/`). This skill assumes the native module already exists in the repo. Run it after the module is in place. > **PCF framework reference (public Microsoft Learn docs).** Ground `pac pcf init`, the `ControlManifest.Input.xml` schema, the `init`/`updateView`/`getOutputs`/`destroy` lifecycle, and the `usage` (`bound`/`input`/`output`) rules against the official Power Apps Component Framework docs — they are the authority when this skill's templates and the live framework disagree. (The `sendAsync` transport + `extractResponse` response-unwrap specifics are this track's own, in… …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/generate-pcf-companion@sha256:c4cf84ba00ad7c45The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.3e1606b, 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.
