Excerpt

Connect to Power BI Desktop (Local Analysis Services)

CRITICAL: Record mistakes, surprises, and model-specific nuances encountered while using this skill in .claude/rules/connect-pbid.md. This file must begin with "Learnings from Claude about connecting to semantic models via the connect-pbid skill". Write only active reference notes (e.g. "QueryGroup property returns an object; access .Folder for the name string"); do not log a changelog or history of events. Omit anything already documented in the skill or its references. Keep the file under 1500 characters at all times; prune stale entries when adding new ones. Do not over-attend to this file; update it only when something genuinely unexpected is discovered.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
