The best source for Power BI AI skills and agentic development resources in one marketplace

Teach AI agents like Claude Code or GitHub Copilot Power BI and Microsoft Fabric

[!WARNING] These skills are under active development with a weekly release cadence, so expect regular renaming and restructuring.

Versions 26.26 through 26.38 are a deliberate breaking transition. Skills may be consolidated, renamed, removed, or made less automatic between weekly releases in this range. Pin 26.25 or earlier if you need the pre-transition skill structure and behavior; do not assume compatibility from one transition release to the next.

What is agentic development?

• Agentic development is when you use agents to help you build, manage, and optimize artifacts and software. This includes semantic models, reports, and the things around them, like workspaces, deployment pipelines, and also processes.
• A marketplace hosts plugins that you can install. Plugins are a collection of resources that help coding agents perform better. They are typically special instruction files and scripts. Plugins can contain skills, subagents, hooks, and MCP servers focused on special topics or tasks.
• This marketplace is focused on everything to help your agent work well with Power BI and Fabric: Power BI skills, Fabric skills, subagents, and hooks for coding agents. Read further for more information.

Copilot CLI

The standalone Copilot CLI supports plugin installation from GitHub repos. Copilot CLI reads the same .claude-plugin/marketplace.json manifest this repo uses, so the marketplace and child-plugin layout works without modification.
