Guide users through adding a new connector action to a Copilot Studio agent. Connector actions require UI-based connection setup, so this skill walks users through the Copilot Studio portal steps, then delegates to edit-action for YAML modifications.

# Add Connector Action (Guide)

This skill guides users through adding a new connector action to their Copilot Studio agent. **It does NOT write action YAML directly** because connector actions require a connection reference that can only be created through the Copilot Studio UI.

## Why This Is a Guide, Not a Generator

Connector actions need:
1. A **connection reference** — an authenticated link to the external service (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, etc.)
2. The connection reference can only be created by the user authenticating in the Copilot Studio portal
3. Once the action is added via the UI and pulled locally, the YAML can be edited with `/copilot-studio:edit-action`

## Connector Lookup

Help the user find the right connector and operation before they go to the UI. Use the connector lookup tool. Important: The connector lookup script only covers a subset of connectors (run `list` to see which ones). If the user's requested connector is not in the list, tell the user they need to find and add the connector action entirely through the Copilot Studio portal, then ask them to pull again the files locally. Once pulled, `/copilot-studio:edit-action` can still be used to customize the YAML.
