What it does
Expert guidance for the Fabric CLI (`fab`) and the Fabric and Power BI REST APIs: workspaces, items, lakehouses, notebooks, pipelines, semantic models, reports, capacities, OneLake, deployment and admin. Also estimates the capacity units (CU) an operation will consume and its impact on the capacity before running it. Automatically invoke whenever the user mentions Fabric, Power BI Service, a Fabric or Power BI workspace, a capacity or F SKU, OneLake, `fab`, or asks to create, run, refresh, schedule, deploy or delete anything in Fabric, including preview items such as Plan, Ontology, Graph or Copilot.
Fabric CLI
Guidance for using fab to programmatically manage Fabric & Power BI service
- Install via
uv tool install ms-fabric-cli(getuvviawinget install uvorbrew install uv) - Fabric CLI is for working with the Cloud environment and not local files; it works with Power BI Pro, PPU, or Fabric; you DO NOT need a Fabric SKU to use the Fabric CLI
- Keep
fabcurrent: check the installed version against the latestms-fabric-clirelease and upgrade withuv tool upgrade ms-fabric-cliunless the user has pinned a specific version. Discover commands and flags withfab --helpandfab <command> --helprather than hard-coding behavior; the CLI surface changes regularly
Record generic fab learnings (errors, user preferences) in .claude/rules/fabric-cli.md so
later sessions start with them; item- or task-specific findings do not go there.
