Featured

Vibe-code Power BI custom visuals end-to-end: scaffold a TypeScript project, iterate on src/visual.ts and capabilities.json, validate with the Power BI Visuals SDK toolchain, package to .pbiviz, and import into a PBIR report. Invoke this skill whenever the user mentions "custom visual", "pbiviz", "powerbi-visuals-tools", "IVisual", "build a chart Power BI doesn't have", "developer visual", or wants a custom-built visual that the built-in Power BI library can't render. NOT for: changing colors / themes (use Power BI Themes), adding built-in visuals like bar/line/card/table (use Power BI Visuals), or modifying the data model.

# Power BI Custom Visuals Skill Build new Power BI custom visuals from natural language using the `powerbi-visuals-tools` SDK. Iteration is agent-driven on TypeScript compile errors; visual correctness is checked once at the end with the user. This skill produces a `.pbiviz` package and embeds it into a PBIR report via `pbi visual import-custom`. The TypeScript project lives **next to** the `.pbip` folder, never inside it. ## Prerequisites The skill needs **Node.js** on PATH and the `powerbi-visuals-tools` npm package. Both are installed on first run with the user's consent; never silently. Pinned versions (override via env vars if needed): - `powerbi-visuals-tools@^5.6.0` (env: `PBIVIZ_VERSION`) - `powerbi-visuals-api@^5.11.0` (pinned in scaffolded `package.json`) The skill's edit patterns and AGENTS.md crib were written against these versions. Bump deliberately. ### First-run prerequisite check ```bash # 1. Probe Node node --version || true ``` If `node` is missing, **ask the user**: > Node.js isn't installed. Custom visual development needs it. Install > now? (yes/no) > > - Windows: `winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS` > - macOS: `brew install node` > - Linux: use your package manager or nvm If user says yes, run the install command appropriate for their OS and re-probe. If user says no, stop the skill with a clear message. `pbiviz` itself runs through `npx --yes powerbi-visuals-tools@^5.6.0`, so there's no global install of the CLI itself. The first `npx` invoc...

create-powerbi-custom-visual

Build any Power BI custom visual end to end, so it behaves like a native one — cross-filtering and highlighting, report-theme colours, on-object formatting that opens the right format card, a format pane that only shows what applies, and a jsdom render harness that proves it before it ships. Use when creating a new pbiviz visual, adding a capability to one, or fixing one that feels foreign next to native visuals. Covers the step-by-step build order, the toolchain versions that work, data roles and dataView reading, the formatting model (cards, groups, containers, per-item settings), the sub-selection API, layout with CSS grid, big DirectQuery data (one query, self filters, loading on demand), and the Desktop install and verification loop. Not for report-layer work (pages, native visuals) or semantic model work.
