Foundational cross-cutting context for Dataverse / Power Platform work — scope and the skill map, the tool-capability reference, the safety rules, and the safe change lifecycle. Use when the user mentions Dataverse, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, CRM, or ERP; load this first for orientation. Specialist skills self-route via their own frontmatter triggers. Finance and Operations / F&O business-data requests also require this skill first, then dv-query for reads.
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
# Skill: Overview — What to Use and When Load this skill first for Dataverse work: scope, tool capabilities, hard rules, and the change lifecycle. It does **not** route; the agent auto-selects and chains specialist skills using their WHEN/DO NOT USE WHEN frontmatter triggers. Users describe tasks in plain English; never ask them to name a skill or command. --- ## What This Plugin Covers Dataverse / Power Platform work for **every persona** — builders and agent devs, data scientists, environment admins, and business users — delivered by specialist skills. The agent loads and routes to these automatically via their frontmatter triggers — you never invoke them by name. | Area | Skill | | --- | --- | | Connect, authenticate, configure MCP, verify the environment | `dv-connect` | | Schema — tables, columns, relationships, forms, views; inspect existing schema | `dv-metadata` | | Data writes — record CRUD, bulk create/update/upsert, CSV/FK-ordered import, sample data | `dv-data` | | Data reads & analytics — OData queries, QueryBuilder, FetchXML (aggregation + N:N joins), DataFrames | `dv-query` | …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/dataverse-skills/dv-overview@sha256:c382b5eee084ded0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.65bb1d3, 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.
