## Description

Plan, design, author, preview, publish, and manage Power BI reports across requirements, page design, local PBIR/PBIP edits, validation, screenshots, Fabric upload/download, and rebinding. Use for report lifecycle work; use semantic-model-authoring for model or DAX changes and fabriciq for data questions. Triggers: plan Power BI report, design report page, edit PBIR, preview PBIP, publish report, rebind report

# Power BI Reports - CLI Skill

This skill owns the Power BI report lifecycle end to end: requirements and
scope, visual design, local PBIR/PBIP authoring and preview, and report-item
transport to and from Microsoft Fabric.

It is a **mode dispatcher** and intentionally contains no detailed procedures.
Select the mode that matches the request, then read the matching mode reference
end to end before acting. The mode file holds the required workflow, commands,
payloads, templates, and failure rules.
