# PBIP Project Format PBIP (Power BI Project) is the developer-mode file format for Power BI. It decomposes a `.pbix` binary into human-readable text files organized in folders, enabling source control, external editing, and multi-author collaboration. ## General, critical guidance - **This skill covers project structure, not file editing.** To modify TMDL files (semantic model), load the `tmdl` skill. To modify PBIR JSON files (report), load the `pbir-format` skill -- or preferably use the `pbir` CLI with the `pbir-cli` skill if available. Install with `uv tool install pbir-cli` or `pip install pbir-cli`; check with `pbir --version`. If the required skill is not loaded, ask the user to install the appropriate plugin before proceeding. - **PBIX is a black box; PBIP is transparent.** PBIX is a single binary that cannot be diffed or edited externally. PBIP splits the same content into text files. Convert between them with File > Save As in PBI Desktop. - **Thick vs thin reports:** A thick report bundles `.Report/` + `.SemanticModel/` in the same project (`definition.pbir` uses `byPath`). A thin report has `.Report/` only, connecting to a remote model via `byConnection`. Thin reports are preferred for managed/shared BI. - **A project can contain multiple items.** Multiple `.Report/` and `.SemanticModel/` folders can coexist. The `.pbip` file is optional -- open `definition.pbir` directly. - **UTF-8 without BOM.** All files must be saved as UTF-8 without BOM. A BOM prefix caus
