Deneb Visuals in Power BI (PBIR)

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.

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.
