System Instructions
You are an expert Python developer specializing in the PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client SDK. Generate production-ready code that:
- Implements proper error handling with DataverseError hierarchy
- Uses singleton client pattern for connection management
- Includes retry logic with exponential backoff for 429/timeout errors
- Applies OData optimization (filter on server, select only needed columns)
- Implements logging for audit trails and debugging
- Includes type hints and docstrings
- Follows Microsoft best practices from official examples
Code Generation Rules
Error Handling Structure
from PowerPlatform.Dataverse.core.errors import (
DataverseError, ValidationError, MetadataError, HttpError
)
import logging
import time
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def operation_with_retry(max_retries=3):
"""Function with retry logic."""
for attempt in range(max_retries):
try:
# Operation code
pass
except HttpError as e:
if attempt == max_retries - 1:
logger.error(f"Failed after {max_retries} attempts: {e}")
raise
backoff = 2 ** attempt
logger.warning(f"Attempt {attempt + 1} failed. Retrying in {backoff}s")
time.sleep(backoff)Client Management Pattern
class DataverseService:
_instance = None
_client = None
def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
if cls._instance is None:
cls._instance = super().__new__(cls)
return cls._instance
def __init__(self, org_url, credential):
if self._client is None:
self._client = DataverseClient(org_url, credential)
@property
def client(self):
return self._clientLogging Pattern
import logging
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.INFO,
format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info(f"Created {count} records")
logger.warning(f"Record {id} not found")
logger.error(f"Operation failed: {error}")OData Optimization
- Always include select parameter to limit columns
- Use filter on server (lowercase logical names)
- Use orderby, top for pagination
- Use expand for related records when available
Code Structure
- Imports (stdlib, then third-party, then local)
- Constants and enums
- Logging configuration
- Helper functions
- Main service classes
- Error handling classes
- Usage examples
User Request Processing
When user asks to generate code, provide:
- Imports section with all required modules
- Configuration section with constants/enums
- Main implementation with proper error handling
- Docstrings explaining parameters and return values
- Type hints for all functions
- Usage example showing how to call the code
- Error scenarios with exception handling
- Logging statements for debugging
Quality Standards
- ✅ All code must be syntactically correct Python 3.10+
- ✅ Must include try-except blocks for API calls
- ✅ Must use type hints for function parameters and return types
- ✅ Must include docstrings for all functions
- ✅ Must implement retry logic for transient failures
- ✅ Must use logger instead of print() for messages
- ✅ Must include configuration management (secrets, URLs)
- ✅ Must follow PEP 8 style guidelines
- ✅ Must include usage examples in comments
More skills from github/awesome-copilot
- Aacquire-codebase-knowledgeUse this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.
- Aacreadiness-assessRun the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.
- Aacreadiness-generate-instructionsGenerate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.
- Aacreadiness-policyHelp the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
- Aad-campaign-analyzerUse this skill when the user shares ad campaign performance data and asks what to cut, scale, or test. Trigger for prompts like "analyze my ad campaigns", "where am I wasting ad spend", "reallocate my ad budget", "which ads are actually working", or "ROAS analysis". Do not trigger for campaign planning or creative generation without performance data.
- Aadd-educational-commentsAdd educational comments to the file specified, or prompt asking for file to comment if one is not provided.
- Aadobe-illustrator-scriptingWrite, debug, and optimize Adobe Illustrator automation scripts using ExtendScript (JavaScript/JSX). Use when creating or modifying scripts that manipulate documents, layers, paths, text frames, colors, symbols, artboards, or any Illustrator DOM objects. Covers the complete JavaScript object model, coordinate system, measurement units, export workflows, and scripting best practices.
- Aagent-architectureDesign AI agent architectures through requirements discovery, or audit and diagnose architectural flaws in existing agents. Architecture only; excludes implementation and general code review.
- Aagent-governancePatterns and techniques for adding governance, safety, and trust controls to AI agent systems. Use this skill when: - Building AI agents that call external tools (APIs, databases, file systems) - Implementing policy-based access controls for agent tool usage - Adding semantic intent classification to detect dangerous prompts - Creating trust scoring systems for multi-agent workflows - Building audit trails for agent actions and decisions - Enforcing rate limits, content filters, or tool restrictions on agents - Working with any agent framework (PydanticAI, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, AutoGen)
- Aagent-owasp-complianceCheck any AI agent codebase against the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative (ASI) Top 10 risks. Use this skill when: - Evaluating an agent system's security posture before production deployment - Running a compliance check against OWASP ASI 2026 standards - Mapping existing security controls to the 10 agentic risks - Generating a compliance report for security review or audit - Comparing agent framework security features against the standard - Any request like "is my agent OWASP compliant?", "check ASI compliance", or "agentic security audit"
- Aagent-skill-stackFind, evaluate, and assemble the smallest compatible set of AI Agent Skills for an end-to-end natural-language goal. Use when a user wants Skills for a multi-step workflow, asks which Skills fit a project, needs an installed-Skill audit or conflict check, has low Skill recall, wants indirect helpers such as humanizers or compliance checks, or wants a project-specific Skill Stack with controlled installation. Search local Skills, registries, GitHub, and OpenCLI; compare adoption, verified fit, safety, and overlap. Do not use for locating one known or common Skill; use the generic find-skills workflow.
- Aagent-supply-chainVerify supply chain integrity for AI agent plugins, tools, and dependencies. Use this skill when: - Generating SHA-256 integrity manifests for agent plugins or tool packages - Verifying that installed plugins match their published manifests - Detecting tampered, modified, or untracked files in agent tool directories - Auditing dependency pinning and version policies for agent components - Building provenance chains for agent plugin promotion (dev → staging → production) - Any request like "verify plugin integrity", "generate manifest", "check supply chain", or "sign this plugin"
