Project Analyst/bi-kickoff

Bootstrap a new BI project from blank .pbip to foundation model.

The project analyst. Takes a brand-new Power BI Desktop project and produces AGENTS.md plus a working star schema with fictitious data, so every future session has the same context.

What it does

  • Locates or relocates .pbip into ./pbip-files/ per plugin convention.
  • Connects to the live model via the Power BI Modeling MCP.
  • Captures domain, sources, experience level, and decision goal in 4 questions.
  • Writes AGENTS.md with the 8 critical rules plus pointer files for Claude, Copilot, Kilo, Gemini.
  • Generates ROADMAP.md with phases tailored to the domain.
  • Builds fact, dimensions, marked Date table, and 5-8 measures via MCP only.

When to use

  • You just created an empty .pbip and need a clean foundation.
  • You want context that survives across sessions and across agents.
  • You're starting a Sales, Finance, HR, Operations, or Marketing model.
  • You want to learn modeling decisions while the agent makes them.
