Has anyone tried using Skills via the Knowledge Base as a workaround?

I'm currently blocked because:
- Native Skill support isn't available in the new GA experience yet.
- Power Automate Workflows also can't be used from the new experience.( meaning i can see built workflows in classic experience not in new)

My setup is:
- SharePoint Knowledge Source connected
- MCP server configured as a Tool

Now I need to add a Product Discovery skill. Since native Skills aren't available, I tried placing the skill instructions in the Knowledge Base as a .md file, hoping the Teams agent would follow them. However, the agent isn't behaving as expected or using those instructions.

Has anyone successfully implemented something similar? If so:
- How did you structure the skill?
- Did you use Knowledge, MCP, or some other workaround?
- Any prompt engineering tips that made it reliable?

Separately, I also need to let users export the generated output as a Word document or PowerPoint in teams chat like when they say convert to word or something like that. I was initially planning to use a Power Automate workflow, but with the current limitations I'm looking for alternative approaches. Any suggestions are welcome, though my primary question is about implementing Skills in the new experience.

Thanks in advance!

Any idea when are we getting native skills support in actual release. Currently its in preview feature

Hello everyone, I'm working on a copilot studio agent with MCP tools and need to add a dedicated discovery skill, but I don't see a "Skills" section in my environment. Curious how others have implemented this - whether through skills, topics or another pattern?        

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
