Deneb Visuals in Power BI (PBIR)
Report modification requires tooling. Two paths exist:
pbirCLI (preferred) -- use thepbircommand and thepbir-cliskill. Install withuv tool install pbir-cliorpip install pbir-cli. Check availability withpbir --version.- Direct JSON modification -- if
pbiris not available, use thepbir-formatskill (pbip plugin) for PBIR JSON structure and patterns. Validate every change withjq empty <file.json>.If neither the
pbir-cliskill nor thepbir-formatskill 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.
