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-deneb-visuals 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.

Deneb Visuals in Power BI (PBIR)

Report modification requires tooling. Two paths exist:

  1. pbir CLI (preferred) -- use the pbir command and the pbir-cli skill. Install with uv tool install pbir-cli or pip install pbir-cli. Check availability with pbir --version.
  2. Direct JSON modification -- if pbir is not available, use the pbir-format skill (pbip plugin) for PBIR JSON structure and patterns. Validate every change with jq empty <file.json>.

If neither the pbir-cli skill nor the pbir-format skill is loaded, ask the user to install the appropriate plugin before proceeding with report modifications.

Deneb is a certified custom visual for Power BI that enables Vega and Vega-Lite declarative visualization specs directly inside reports. Author specs using this skill.

Provider Policy

Prefer Vega-Lite for new Deneb visuals unless specific Vega-only features are required (signals, event streams, custom projections, force/voronoi layouts). Vega-Lite is more concise, easier to maintain, and covers most chart types. For advanced Vega features, see references/vega-patterns.md and the Vega documentation.

Visual Identity

  • visualType: deneb7E15AEF80B9E4D4F8E12924291ECE89A
  • Bundled runtime: Vega 6.2.0 / Vega-Lite 6.4.1 (since Deneb 1.8; use v6.json schema URLs)
  • Data role: Single dataset role (all fields go into one "Values" well)
  • Default row limit: 10,000 rows (override via dataLimit.override)
  • Provider: vegaLite (default) or vega (when Vega-specific features needed)
  • Render modes: svg (default, sharp text) or canvas (better for large datasets)

Custom Visual Registration (Required)

Register deneb7E15AEF80B9E4D4F8E12924291ECE89A in report.json publicCustomVisuals array manually. Without this, the visual shows "Can't display this visual."

For more information, use the pbir-format skill and check the report.md reference.

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.
