The best source for agentic development resources for Power BI in one marketplace
Teach agents like Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to do literally anything in Power BI

[!WARNING] Under active development with a weekly release cadence; regular renaming or restructuring.

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! Read further for more information.

Installation

Here's how you get started in Claude Code; run this in the terminal to get the marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development

Example: Using the pbir-cli with the skills

Install plugins from the marketplace	Enable marketplace auto-update

Alternative; add plugins via command line:

claude plugin install tabular-editor@power-bi-agentic-development
claude plugin install pbi-desktop@power-bi-agentic-development
claude plugin install semantic-models@power-bi-agentic-development
claude plugin install reports@power-bi-agentic-development
claude plugin install pbip@power-bi-agentic-development
claude plugin install fabric-cli@power-bi-agentic-development

copilot plugin install data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development

Overview

The repo contains skills, agents, and hooks.

• Skills teach agents domain knowledge and workflows. They activate automatically based on task context, or can be invoked manually with /skill-name. In Claude Code, skills and commands have coalesced; commands are simply more prescriptive skill workflows.
• Agents are autonomous subprocesses that handle complex, multi-step tasks independently; typically used for review and validation.
• Hooks run automatically after tool use to validate files and catch errors early. They are deterministic; they fire when a specific pattern is matched, not by LLM judgment.

Hook checks can be individually toggled via config files. Set any check to false to disable it:

• plugins/pbip/hooks/config.yaml -- PBIR, TMDL, and report binding validation
• plugins/pbi-desktop/hooks/config.yaml -- DAX references, measure metadata, referential integrity, metadata cache
