power-bi-docs

power-bi-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that extracts the contents of a Power BI semantic model and turns them into readable documentation. It can catalogue model objects such as tables, columns, measures, relationships, security roles, and data sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create model inventories, data dictionaries, object summaries, statistics, and text exports in TMDL, Power BI's version-control-friendly model format.
Why use it?
It makes a complex model easier to understand, review, and audit without searching through Power BI manually.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is pbi database export-tmdl ./model-docs/.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

power-bi-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Power BI Documentation Skill

Generate comprehensive documentation for Power BI semantic models.

Prerequisites

pipx install pbi-cli-tool
pbi-cli skills install
pbi connect

Quick Model Overview

pbi --json model get       # Model metadata
pbi --json model stats     # Table/measure/column counts

Catalog All Objects

# Tables and their structure
pbi --json table list
pbi --json table get Sales
pbi --json table schema Sales

# All measures
pbi --json measure list

# Individual measure details
pbi --json measure get "Total Revenue" --table Sales

# Columns per table
pbi --json column list --table Sales
pbi --json column list --table Products

# Relationships
pbi --json relationship list

# Security roles
pbi --json security-role list

# Hierarchies
pbi --json hierarchy list --table Date

# Calculation groups
pbi --json calc-group list

# Perspectives
pbi --json perspective list

# Named expressions (M queries)
pbi --json expression list

# Partitions
pbi --json partition list --table Sales

# Calendar/date tables
pbi --json calendar list

Export Full Model as TMDL

pbi database export-tmdl ./model-docs/

This creates a human-readable text representation of the entire model.

Workflow: Generate Model Documentation

Run these commands to gather all information needed for documentation:

# Step 1: Model overview
pbi --json model get > model-meta.json
pbi --json model stats > model-stats.json

# Step 2: All tables
pbi --json table list > tables.json

# Step 3: All measures
pbi --json measure list > measures.json

# Step 4: All relationships
pbi --json relationship list > relationships.json

# Step 5: Security roles
pbi --json security-role list > security-roles.json

# Step 6: Column details per table (loop through tables)
pbi --json column list --table Sales > columns-sales.json
pbi --json column list --table Products > columns-products.json

# Step 7: Full TMDL export
pbi database export-tmdl ./tmdl-export/

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
