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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00092 | $0.00943 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00472 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00189 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
Power BI Deployment 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 9d 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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Power BI Deployment Skill
Manage model lifecycle with TMDL export/import, transactions, and version control.
Prerequisites
pipx install pbi-cli-tool
pbi-cli skills install
pbi connect
Connecting to Targets
# Local Power BI Desktop (auto-detects port)
pbi connect
# Local with explicit port
pbi connect -d localhost:54321
# Named connections for switching
pbi connect -d localhost:54321 --name dev
pbi connections list
pbi connections last
pbi disconnect
TMDL Export and Import
TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language) is the text-based format for version-controlling Power BI models.
# Export entire model to TMDL folder
pbi database export-tmdl ./model-tmdl/
# Import TMDL folder into connected model
pbi database import-tmdl ./model-tmdl/
TMSL Export
# Export as TMSL JSON (for SSAS/AAS compatibility)
pbi database export-tmsl
TMDL Diff (Compare Snapshots)
Compare two TMDL export folders to see what changed between snapshots. Useful for CI/CD pipelines ("what did this PR change in the model?").
# Compare two exports
pbi database diff-tmdl ./model-before/ ./model-after/
# JSON output for CI/CD scripting
pbi --json database diff-tmdl ./baseline/ ./current/
Returns a structured summary:
- tables: added, removed, and changed tables with per-table entity diffs (measures, columns, partitions, hierarchies added/removed/changed)
- relationships: added, removed, and changed relationships
- model: changed model-level properties (e.g. culture, default power bi dataset version)
- summary: total counts of all changes
LineageTag-only changes (GUID regeneration without real edits) are automatically filtered out to avoid false positives.
No connection to Power BI Desktop is needed -- works on exported folders.
Database Operations
# List databases on the connected server
pbi database list
Transaction Management
Use transactions for atomic multi-step changes:
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.
- 9d ago First seen · 154 lines · 92 tokens per session scan A 9509add10130
Power BI Deployment is a skill published in the GitHub repository MinaSaad1/pbi-cli (452 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 943 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
