Generate Pcf Companion

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Generate Pcf Companion skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Generate Pcf Companion is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.

Generate the dispatcher PCF for a third-party `.ppmplugin` (wrap-runtime) control. Runs `pac pcf init` in the pcf/ subfolder, rewrites ControlManifest.Input.xml from ARCHITECTURE §6, and writes index.ts derived from ARCHITECTURE §4 (message contract), §8 (PCF surface), §9 (error UX) — no placeholders. The bridge dispatches the composite key `<name>/<receiver>` to `NativeModules.<nativeModule>.<method>` via the host-injected `window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync` global (never `cordova.exec` — not in the PCF sandbox); also emits a `PowerAppsNativeExtension.d.ts` ambient declaration. Responses are peeled with `extractResponse`. Emits structured JSON debug/error logs. Validated by `npm run build`. **Local only** — does not deploy. Needs only `pac` CLI. Run after the native module exists. Uses npm (not pnpm).

From the source SKILL.md

Generates the dispatcher PCF — the Canvas Studio control that calls the third-party native module through the host-injected window.PowerApps.NativeExtension.sendAsync global, routed by the composite key <name>/<receiver> read from the committed ./manifest.json (the source of truth /generate-native-extension authors at scaffold time). Lives at pcf/<Pascal>PCF/ in the same repo the native module lives in. The PCF is a Studio-side companion; it is NOT part of the .ppmplugin bundle (the bundle ships native binaries only — manifest.json + android//ios/).
