Popular

Create and modify Power BI report files in PBIR/PBIP format using the `powerbi-report-author` and `powerbi-desktop` CLIs. Use when the user wants to: (1) implement an approved report spec or design brief, (2) add or edit pages, visuals, filters, slicers, bookmarks, themes, or formatting, (3) validate PBIR and verify rendering in Power BI Desktop. For open-ended visual design, use `powerbi-report-design` first. For end-to-end requirements and approval workflow, use `powerbi-report-planning` first. Triggers: \"edit PBIR\", \"create Power BI report page\", \"add visual to PBIP\", \"format report visual\", \"validate Power BI report\", \"reload Desktop screenshot\", \"implement an approved PBIP report spec\", \"edit PBIR pages/visuals\".

CRITICAL NOTES

  • To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering

  • To find the item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace and, then, use JMESPath filtering

Power BI Report Authoring Skill (PBIR/PBIP Format)

This skill enables reading, editing, and creation of Power BI report

(Power BI Project)
files.

Must/Prefer/Avoid

MUST

  • Use this skill only for concrete PBIR/PBIP report-file mechanics such as pages, visuals, filters, slicers, navigation, bookmarks, themes, formatting, validation, Desktop reloads, and screenshots.

  • Validate PBIR with powerbi-report-author validate after each logical batch.

  • Use powerbi-desktop reload/screenshot workflows for rendered-output changes.

  • Use CLI capability lookup before writing visual roles, formatting objects, enum values, selectors, or expression encodings.
