SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Power BI and data professionals new to coding agents face a steep learning curve: unfamiliar terminals, unclear licensing constraints, and a confusing array of tools, models, and settings. This Skill provides patient, jargon-free onboarding that teaches core concepts and installs only the tools a user's actual goal requires.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two onboarding modes: A concise setup mode that installs required tools (git, uv, fab, te, pbir) with per-OS commands, and a deep explain mode that teaches the five pillars (model, context, prompt, tools, environment) through conversation.
  • Environment discovery: Interactively assesses the user's role, licensing tier (Pro, PPU, Premium, Fabric), API access, and connected data systems to tailor guidance.
  • Visual explainers: Generates simple HTML concept pages via a bundled Python script and opens them in the browser to make abstract ideas concrete.
  • Use Case: A Power BI report author who has never used a terminal invokes the skill, explains they want to automate a weekly report task, and is guided through installing the Fabric CLI and pbir, then completes one real task end to end.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to help you get started with Power BI agentic development in setup mode and walk you through installing the tools for your goal.

Frequently Asked Questions about help-me-get-started

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get started with Power BI agentic development?▼

Invoke the skill in setup mode to install the base layer (Claude Code, uv, git, Python) plus only the tools your goal needs, such as fab, te, or pbir. The skill asks about your role and goal first, then gives copy-paste commands for Windows or macOS.

What tools do I need to install for Power BI agent workflows?▼

Everyone needs the base layer: a coding agent, uv, git, Python 3.10+, and jq. Beyond that, install only what your plugins require, such as the Fabric CLI for cloud work, the te CLI for semantic models, or pbir for reports.

Does Power BI agentic development work on macOS?▼

Cloud-facing tools like fab, az, te, pbir, DuckDB, and sqlcmd run natively on macOS. Windows-only tools such as Power BI Desktop and TabularEditor.exe require a Windows VM through Parallels Desktop.

What Power BI license do I need for agent-based model editing?▼

XMLA read/write, which most modelling tooling needs, requires PPU, Premium, or Fabric capacity. The Fabric CLI itself and read paths work on a plain Pro license, and the skill helps you identify your tier if unsure.

What is the difference between setup mode and explain mode?▼

Setup mode is concise and action-focused: it installs tools with minimal teaching. Explain mode goes deep, interviewing you and teaching the five pillars (model, context, prompt, tools, environment) with analogies and visual explainers.
