Power BI Report Design Skill

This skill provides design guidance for Power BI reports. It commits a design identity (tone + signature), routes user requests to the right archetype per page, and applies cross-cutting design principles (color, typography, iconography, layout, interactivity, accessibility).

Scope boundary — This skill decides what a report should look like and why. It does not write PBIR files. After producing a design contract, hand off to powerbi-report-authoring for all file mechanics: page/visual creation, theme registration, expression encoding, formatting objects, and validation.

Must/Prefer/Avoid

MUST

• Inspect the semantic model or available fields before making design decisions.
• Produce concrete design choices: tone, signature, page archetype, chart rationale, layout direction, color, typography, and accessibility considerations.
• Hand off file mechanics to powerbi-report-authoring; this skill does not edit PBIR.

PREFER

• Ask only for missing design inputs that materially affect the outcome.
• Use reference files on demand instead of loading the full design catalog.
• Emit a structured Design Brief: when the design will be implemented.
