power-bi-agentic-development
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]
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: Power BI skills, Fabric skills, subagents, and hooks for coding agents. 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

Claude Code
Add the marketplace, then install plugins via /plugin and navigating to the installed marketplace.
 |  |
| 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 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.
Windows long paths
TMDL files have a problem with repository-relative paths over 260 characters. Windows' legacy MAX_PATH blocks git clone from writing them unless long path support is enabled at both the OS and git level. Without this, copilot plugin install aborts with Filename too long.
Check useful-stuff/agent-scripts/enable-windows-longpaths.ps1 as an example of a script you can run from an elevated ps environment to enable long paths; there are other routes to do this that you can find online, too... just ask Copilot. A reboot is recommended after the registry change. This is a Windows OS limitation, documented at Maximum Path Length Limitation.
See also the below git config command:
git config --system core.longpaths true
Additional installation instructions
This repository is an Anthropic-format plugin marketplace (a set of plugins), not a single distributable plugin, so the root .claude-plugin/ contains only marketplace.json. Two documented install paths work:
1. Register the marketplace once, then install named child plugins. Example:
copilot plugin marketplace add data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development
copilot plugin install tabular-editor@power-bi-agentic-development
