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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00147 | $0.05282 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.02641 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01056 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00528 |
Grade A, and why
powerbi-pbip-format 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 — 346 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
PBIP Project Format
PBIP (Power BI Project) is the developer-mode file format for Power BI. It decomposes a .pbix binary into human-readable text files organized in folders, enabling source control, external editing, and multi-author collaboration.
General, critical guidance
- This skill covers project structure, not file editing. To modify TMDL files (semantic model), load the
tmdlskill. To modify PBIR JSON files (report), load thepbir-formatskill -- or preferably use thepbirCLI with thepbir-cliskill if available. Install withuv tool install pbir-cliorpip install pbir-cli; check withpbir --version. If the required skill is not loaded, ask the user to install the appropriate plugin before proceeding. - PBIX is a black box; PBIP is transparent. PBIX is a single binary that cannot be diffed or edited externally. PBIP splits the same content into text files. Convert between them with File > Save As in PBI Desktop.
- Thick vs thin reports: A thick report bundles
.Report/+.SemanticModel/in the same project (definition.pbirusesbyPath). A thin report has.Report/only, connecting to a remote model viabyConnection. Thin reports are preferred for managed/shared BI. - A project can contain multiple items. Multiple
.Report/and.SemanticModel/folders can coexist. The.pbipfile is optional -- opendefinition.pbirdirectly. - UTF-8 without BOM. All files must be saved as UTF-8 without BOM. A BOM prefix causes parse errors in some tools.
- Git line endings: PBI Desktop writes CRLF. Configure
core.autocrlfor* text=autoin.gitattributesto normalize. - 260-char Windows path limit. Use short root paths. Deep nesting of page/visual GUIDs can exceed this limit.
- PBI Desktop does not detect external changes. Close and reopen PBI Desktop after editing files externally.
- Rename cascades are cross-cutting. Renaming a table, measure, or column requires updating references in TMDL files, visual JSONs, report extensions, culture files, DAX queries, and diagram layouts. Missing even one location causes broken visuals or DAX errors.
- SparklineData metadata selectors embed Entity references in compact strings that do not follow the standard
SourceRef.EntityJSON structure. Easy to miss. - DAX query files exist in TWO locations:
<Name>.SemanticModel/DAXQueries/and<Name>.Report/DAXQueries/. Always check both during renames.
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-pbip-format is a skill published in the GitHub repository santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 5,282 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
