Updated: Oct 2026; last repo commit

Claude starts by asking about the business problem, the audience, the data and the technical limits. It then picks chart types by the relationship you need to show, and sets out layout, color, text, navigation, filters and mobile layouts.

It finishes with a design specification and an implementation order, written as advice. The skill is one file with no scripts. SKILL.md names no Power BI tool; it asks you for context and gives recommendations.

Good for

Power BI report builders choosing charts and page layouts
Analysts designing dashboards for executives, analysts or field staff
Teams that need accessible, mobile-friendly reports

Questions

What does this skill do?

It turns Claude into a Power BI visualization and UX consultant. It asks about your audience and data, then recommends chart types, layout, color, navigation, filters and mobile design.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page. The Copilot CLI tab installs the whole power-bi-development plugin (4 skills and 4 agents); the other tabs install only this skill.

Does it connect to Power BI?

SKILL.md names no Power BI tool or connection. It asks you to describe your context and gives design advice.

What should I tell it?

SKILL.md lists: business context and objectives, the audience and how they use the report, a description of the data and key metrics, technical constraints, brand and accessibility needs, and any specific design problem.

Is it safe?

The skill is one text file with no scripts. It asks Claude for design recommendations from what you tell it. Do not paste confidential data you would not share in a chat.

What are the related Power BI skills?

The same plugin lists power-bi-dax-optimization, power-bi-model-design-review and power-bi-performance-troubleshooting, plus four agents. They are separate skills with their own files.
