Documentation

README

Excerpt

Working with Power BI reports using `pbir`

CLI for exploring, building, managing, formatting Power BI reports. All commands use pbir.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use pbir CLI commands to inspect and modify reports. NEVER write, replace, copy, or patch report JSON files directly. If the CLI does not expose a required mutation, stop and report the missing capability; do not fall back to file editing. Reading JSON through pbir cat, pbir get, or read-only examples is allowed.

IMPORTANT: FIRST Read and adhere to the mental model in MENTAL-MODEL.md.

When `pbir` is missing

Install it with uv tool install pbir-cli (or pip install pbir-cli). That is the route to use in every ordinary case, including when the command is missing entirely.

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