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

powerbi-create-pbi-report 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 12d 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.

Creating Power BI Reports

Create and scaffold Power BI reports using pbir CLI. Install with uv tool install pbir-cli or pip install pbir-cli. Load the pbir-cli and pbi-report-design skills alongside this one.

Vague or Underspecified Prompts

When the user's request lacks specific measures, audience context, structural preferences, or formatting direction (e.g., "make me a dashboard", "create something with KPIs"), consult references/vague-prompts.md before proceeding. Close the gap between intent and specification with targeted questions; then apply sensible defaults (sqlbi theme, executive dashboard pattern, model-driven KPI selection) for anything the user can't or won't specify.

Rules

  • Visuals must not overlap one another
  • Favor theme changes over visual overrides for static formatting
  • Favor extension measures with theme colors (like "bad") for conditional formatting
  • Always create reports inside a named project folder (e.g., sales-dashboard/Sales.Report)
  • Run pbir validate after every mutation
  • New reports already include the sqlbi theme -- do NOT run pbir theme apply-template unless the user explicitly asks for a different theme
  • New reports already include a default Page 1 with a textbox visual for the page title at position (20,20) with height 90 -- do NOT add a new textbox; rename the existing page with pbir pages rename instead. Place all visuals at y:120 or below to avoid overlapping the title textbox.

Quick Reference

  1. Get the workspace and semantic model from the user. If the user wants to connect to Power BI Desktop or create a report with source data, explain that a published semantic model in Fabric or Power BI is required first.
  2. Analyze the user's requirements. Consider missing information -- charts, filters, formatting, analyses. Use AskUserQuestion if something is unclear.
  3. Consider missing semantic model objects -- not just what the user asks for, but targets (1 year prior), baselines (avg for period), or trend aggregations (14-day rolling) that enrich visuals.
  4. Create a project folder and report (default format is PBIP):
