Generates valid, importable Power Apps Source Code YAML for canvas app screens. Use when asked to create YAML, scaffold, or modify any Power Apps canvas app screen — including full screens, dialogs, forms, galleries, detail views, dashboards, or any layout container — or when asked to generate Power Fx formulas or produce Power Apps source code for import.

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 Apps Canvas App YAML Generator

Generates production-ready Power Apps Source Code YAML for canvas app screens, following the official Power Apps YAML source format rules and a consistent enterprise design system.

---

## Before Starting

**Always confirm the following before generating any YAML:**

1. **Screen or component name** — what to name the output (e.g. `ScnDashboard`, `ScnRequestForm`, `DlgConfirmDelete`)
2. **Component type** — full screen, dialog/overlay, form, gallery list, detail view, dashboard, or other
3. **Navigation context** — if a sidebar is needed, which nav item should be active; if no sidebar is needed, say so
4. **Screen purpose** — one sentence describing what the screen or component does
5. **Data source** — SharePoint list, Dataverse table, or collection name and any known column names (if data-driven)
6. **Controls needed** — gallery, form fields, dropdowns, status badges, buttons, dialogs, etc.

If any detail is missing, ask before generating.

---

## Step 1: Confirm the Component Type

The component type determines the top-level YAML structure:

- **Full screens** → wrapped in `Screens:` block

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pnp/copilot-prompts/powerapps-canvas-yaml-generator@sha256:9eb5a6d7903e4e94

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260514.59ba3d3, 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.
