Validate, reconcile to the chosen target(s), and stage the `manifest.json` for a `.ppmplugin` bundle. In the normal flow the committed `./manifest.json` already exists (authored by /generate-native-extension), so this stage reads it, runs the plugin's upload-compatibility checks locally as a pre-flight gate (name regex, canonical prefix, known incompatible names, method and identifier shapes), reconciles `entrypoints` down to the platform(s) you ship, and writes the gitignored staged copy…

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-ppmplugin-manifest

Stages the `manifest.json` that goes inside a `.ppmplugin` bundle — the small descriptor the wrap runtime and upload service read to identify the plugin and route calls into it. In the normal flow the **committed `./manifest.json` already exists** (authored by [`/generate-native-extension`](../generate-native-extension/SKILL.md) next to the code it describes); this stage's job is to **validate it, reconcile its `entrypoints` to the shipped target(s), and write the staged build copy** `ppmplugin/staging/manifest.json`. It is the "get the strings right" gate: it runs instantly, needs no build tools, and catches common upload failures before any Android build. If the repo has no `./manifest.json` (a hand-authored native module that skipped the scaffold), this stage **authors it from source** as a fallback — see Step 2.

Read [`shared/ppmplugin-format.md`](../../shared/ppmplugin-format.md) — it is the source of truth for the schema, the derivation table, and the validation rules this skill enforces.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/generate-ppmplugin-manifest@sha256:14f825aaaf2102aa

The 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.
