Extend your chatbot and unlock the power
summary
Shows how to extend Power Virtual Agents by building Bot Framework skills, publishing them to Azure, and wiring the skill manifest into PVA so skills appear as callable actions. Requires an Azure subscription, Bot Framework SDK >=4.7 and manifest v2.0, and skills must avoid no input/output arrays (arrays break the integration). Composer can build adaptive‑card skills and is useful for low‑code flows but lacks full QnA/LUIS support; always include an end‑dialogue to avoid endless loops.
