What it does
Pbi Report Builder is an agent skill from lukasreese/powerbi-claude-skills. [power-bi] Power BI PBIR Report Builder with IBCS Visuals. Generates Power BI report pages, visuals, and IBCS-compliant variance charts by writing PBIR JSON files directly into PBIP project folders.

Also trigger when…
Its SKILL.md is about 7.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 50 other files, including reference files (for example `references/example/card-kpi-with-yoy.md`, `references/example/kpi-dashboard-example.md` and `references/field-references.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering OKRs and executive reporting. It works with Power BI. The repository describes itself as: A repo where I keep all skills related to Power BI.

- “/pbi-report-builder”

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e867628. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
developer.microsoft.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pbi Report Builder loads about 7.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~167k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 233 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,381 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,381 words (~7,511 tokens).
“Add pages and visuals to existing Power BI PBIP projects by writing PBIR (Enhanced Report Format) JSON files directly into the project folder structure.”
