How to use it

1
Install pbi-cliThis skill drives the pbi-cli tool (third-party project, installed with pipx) and assumes Power BI Desktop is open with a model. Check pbi-cli's source and license before installing it.
2
Add the skillUnzip the archive and place the power-bi-diagnostics folder in ~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code). The skill is in English; ask for the answer in another language if needed.
3
Run a diagnosisSay for example "my Power BI model is slow" or "pbi connection failed". The skill checks the environment, the connection and then the model state, in that order.
4
Profile and audit carefullyProfiling runs your DAX queries and the audit can export the full model (TMDL): it may contain sensitive column names or security rules. Do not share the export without reviewing it.
