setup-datamodel
Creates Dataverse tables, columns, and relationships for a Power Pages site based on a data model proposal. Use when the user wants to set up the data model, create database tables, or build the Dataverse schema for their site.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly communicates what the skill does (creates Dataverse tables, columns, and relationships), the context (Power Pages site from a data model proposal), and when to use it (data model setup, database tables, Dataverse schema). It uses third person voice, includes natural trigger terms, and occupies a distinct niche that minimizes conflict risk.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Creates Dataverse tables, columns, and relationships for a Power Pages site based on a data model proposal.' This clearly names the domain (Dataverse/Power Pages) and specific actions (tables, columns, relationships). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (creates Dataverse tables, columns, and relationships for a Power Pages site) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when' clause covering data model setup, database table creation, and Dataverse schema building). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'data model', 'database tables', 'Dataverse schema', 'tables', 'columns', 'relationships', 'Power Pages site'. These cover common variations of how a user would phrase this need. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with a clear niche: Dataverse tables/schema specifically for Power Pages sites. The combination of 'Dataverse', 'Power Pages', and 'data model proposal' makes it very unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, complex multi-phase skill that provides clear orchestration of Dataverse schema creation. Its strengths are excellent workflow clarity with explicit validation checkpoints and user approval gates, strong actionability with concrete commands throughout, and good progressive disclosure to external references. The main weakness is moderate verbosity — some sections could be tightened without losing clarity, particularly around repeated mentions of token refresh and the progress tracking table that duplicates phase descriptions.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is fairly long (~300 lines) but most content is necessary given the complexity of the 8-phase workflow. However, there's some redundancy — token refresh is mentioned multiple times, the progress tracking table duplicates phase descriptions, and some explanatory text could be tightened (e.g., Phase 2's option table format is verbose for what could be a simpler prompt). | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | The skill provides concrete, executable commands throughout (specific node script invocations with arguments, exact API endpoints, JSON body examples, specific tool invocations). Each phase has clear actions with copy-paste-ready commands and references to external files for full JSON templates. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 8-phase workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: pre-creation checks verify existing tables before creating (Phase 5), token refresh before batch operations, verification queries after creation (Phase 8.2), and explicit user approval gates at 4 key decision points. Error handling is addressed with a 'report failures without rollback' policy and the feedback loop of 'Request changes → modify → re-present' in Phase 4. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill serves as a clear orchestration overview, appropriately referencing external files for detailed content: `references/odata-api-patterns.md` for JSON body templates, `references/dataverse-prerequisites.md` for auth setup, `references/datamodel-manifest-schema.md` for schema details, and `agents/data-model-architect.md` for the sub-agent definition. All references are one level deep and clearly signaled. | 3 / 3 |
