PBIR Tools v0.9.23
Important: This tool works best for targeted, iterative changes to existing reports -- formatting, property adjustments, field binding, theme changes, validation. It's not designed to replace your thinking or design, and it's also constrained by the brittle limitations of Power BI reports, themselves.
Install:
uv tool install pbir-cliorpip install pbir-cli(recommended over native installers)Skills (v26.24): Get skills from the
power-bi-agentic-development
marketplace. For Claude Code:claude plugin add marketplace data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development
