# 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 read and modify reports if `pbir` is available. ONLY Read, Write, or Update JSON files directly as a fallback if `pbir` fails three times in a row, and you MUST invoke the `pbir-format` skill from the `pbip` plugin when working with these files. **IMPORTANT:** FIRST Read and adhere to the mental model in [MENTAL-MODEL.md](important/MENTAL-MODEL.md). ## Learning from Mistakes You MUST log learnings about the `pbir` CLI, including avoiding mistakes or gotchas, unexpected results, user expectations and design preferences in the project's memory file, such as: - **Claude Code:** `.claude/rules/pbir-cli.md` - **Cursor:** `.cursor/rules/pbir-cli.mdc` - **GitHub Copilot:** `.github/instructions/pbir-cli.instructions.md` You must be concise only log learnings that lead to improved, general performance and NOT very specific examples. This is NOT a change log, and you must treat this learning file as a valuable finite neuronal resource, pruning it, avoiding redundancy and making connections or references to examples. ## How to use `pbir` ### General workflow 1. Explore the report: The report must be in PBIR format and can be pbip, pbir definition only, or PBIX. Prefer either pbir or pbip 2. Identify the model: Reports generally should be "thin reports" connected to a remote model in Power BI
