Power BI report design principles, layout guidance, and formatting best practices. Automatically invoke when the user asks about "report layout", "design best practices", "visual hierarchy", "3-30-300 rule", "KPI card design", "page layout", "accessibility in reports", "visual spacing", "report canvas", "card design patterns", "table formatting", "matrix formatting", or mentions report design principles.
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
Warning: This skill is incomplete and still in progress, but may provide value already as-is -- Kurt
# Power BI Report Design
> **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.
Best practices and guidelines for Power BI report design. Follow these guidelines strictly to avoid generic, poorly formatted reports ("Power BI Slop").

How to install
mdr add santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent/powerbi-report-design@sha256:c5cf6dbb192733a1The 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.
