# powerbi-dashboard-design
The front door of the Power BI design FOUNDATION. The readiness spine defines
Stage 6, **Dashboard Ready** (`docs/readiness/dashboard-ready.md`): a report is
designed AGAINST approved metric contracts, never before them. This skill is the
committed design vocabulary that stage reasons WITH -- it classifies any
visual-design request into one of four separate surfaces and opens the right
workflow, so the four-surface distinction is committed once here instead of being
improvised per request.
This skill ROUTES and INSTRUCTS inside Seshat's design layer; it is a nested
design router, not a second broad Power BI front door and not an execution-owner
selector. Designing a specific dashboard from approved contracts is the F011/012
`dashboard-design` verb's job. Native PBIR implementation belongs to Microsoft's
official `powerbi-report-authoring` skill when discoverable; F016 is narrower and
owns only parked live semantic-model connection/refresh/query/publish execution.
## The four surfaces (route to exactly one)
Power BI dashboard design is four separate surfaces. Route every request to exactly ONE; never blend them.
| # | Surface | What it is | Authoring tool | The rule that keeps it clean |

| 1 | Report visuals | cards, charts, slicers, tables/matrices, tooltips, bookmarks, titles, interactions, mobile layout | Microsoft `powerbi-report-authoring` or Power BI Desktop after
