Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Connect to Power BI Desktop (Local Analysis Services) > **CRITICAL:** Record mistakes, surprises, and model-specific nuances encountered while using this skill in `.claude/rules/connect-pbid.md`. This file must begin with "Learnings from Claude about connecting to semantic models via the connect-pbid skill". Write only active reference notes (e.g. "QueryGroup property returns an object; access .Folder for the name string"); do not log a changelog or history of events. Omit anything already documented in the skill or its references. Keep the file under 1500 characters at all times; prune stale entries when adding new ones. Do not over-attend to this file; update it only when something genuinely unexpected is discovered. > **Note:** No MCP server required; do not use this skill with MCP servers or CLI tools.

How to install
mdr add santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent/powerbi-connect-pbid@sha256:652b38b89dda1ae5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.22d6d33, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
