Manages Fabric Dataflow Gen2 items, including creation, M editing, connections, output destinations, getDefinition and updateDefinition inspection, executeQuery, refresh history, and Gen1-to-Gen2 save-as upgrades via saveAsNativeArtifact. Use for Dataflow items or Power Query M definitions. For pipeline JSON use pipeline-migration; for Spark or Warehouse transformations use their own skills.

# Fabric Dataflow Gen2 -- CLI Skill

This one skill owns Fabric Dataflow Gen2 items: connections, Power Query M, output destinations, saved definitions, refresh history, and Gen1 upgrades.

It is a **mode dispatcher** and contains NO procedures. Pick the mode that matches the request from the table below, then **read the matching `references/<mode>.md` file end to end with your file-reading tool BEFORE issuing a single command**. That file holds the endpoints, payload shapes, templates and gotchas; acting without it produces wrong payloads and wrong results.
