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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00160 | $0.02074 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00080 | $0.01037 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00207 |
Grade A, and why
powerbi-dashboard-design 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
powerbi-dashboard-design
The front door of the Power BI design FOUNDATION. The readiness spine defines
Stage 6, Dashboard Ready (docs/readiness/dashboard-ready.md): a report is
designed AGAINST approved metric contracts, never before them. This skill is the
committed design vocabulary that stage reasons WITH -- it classifies any
visual-design request into one of four separate surfaces and opens the right
workflow, so the four-surface distinction is committed once here instead of being
improvised per request.
This skill ROUTES and INSTRUCTS inside Seshat's design layer; it is a nested
design router, not a second broad Power BI front door and not an execution-owner
selector. Designing a specific dashboard from approved contracts is the F011/012
dashboard-design verb's job. Native PBIR implementation belongs to Microsoft's
official powerbi-report-authoring skill when discoverable; F016 is narrower and
owns only parked live semantic-model connection/refresh/query/publish execution.
The four surfaces (route to exactly one)
Power BI dashboard design is four separate surfaces. Route every request to exactly ONE; never blend them.
| # | Surface | What it is | Authoring tool | The rule that keeps it clean |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Report visuals | cards, charts, slicers, tables/matrices, tooltips, bookmarks, titles, interactions, mobile layout | Microsoft powerbi-report-authoring or Power BI Desktop after the Seshat gate |
every visual binds to a metric contract + a semantic model field; nothing invented |
| 2 | External background/canvas | PNG/SVG/JPG backgrounds, grids, safe zones, static layout containers, exported assets | Figma / Canva / PowerPoint / Illustrator (outside Power BI) | background is STATIC STRUCTURE, never data -- no KPI value, no dynamic title baked in |
| 3 | Theme JSON | color palette, fonts, visual defaults, page/wallpaper defaults, filter-pane defaults, sentiment colors | a JSON file imported into Power BI | theme controls DEFAULTS, never business meaning -- no DAX, no metric, no relationship |
| 4 | Implementation handoff | the bundle an approved official executor or human uses to build the report | notes only in this skill | this skill STOPS at the handoff boundary -- no PBIP/PBIR edit |

What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

powerbi-dashboard-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kemetra/Seshat-BI (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 160 tokens to every session and 2,074 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
