# Best Practice Analyzer Rules Expert guidance for creating and improving BPA (Best Practice Analyzer) rules for Tabular Editor and Power BI semantic models. ## When to Use This Skill Activate automatically when tasks involve: - Creating new BPA rules for semantic model validation - Recommending or choosing BPA rules for a model, team, or organization - Improving or debugging BPA rule expressions - Writing FixExpression to auto-remediate rule violations - Understanding BPA annotations in TMDL files - Analyzing a semantic model against best practices - Converting ad-hoc checks into reusable BPA rules - Auditing or discovering all BPA rules across sources (built-in, URL, model, user, machine) ## Primary Workflow: Interactive Q&A Discovery (Double Diamond) **CRITICAL: Do NOT generate BPA rules immediately.** This is a requirements-gathering exercise. Use the `AskUserQuestion` tool to conduct an iterative, back-and-forth conversation with the user across multiple rounds. Continue asking questions until sufficient context about the user's business, team, model, and priorities has been gathered. Only then move to rule generation. The workflow follows a **double-diamond** pattern: 1. **Diverge** -- broadly explore the user's context, organization, and goals 2. **Converge** -- narrow down to specific priorities and constraints 3. **Diverge** -- explore the model structure and identify candidate rule areas 4. **Converge** -- select and generate the final tailored rule set ###
