Microsoft Fabric Skills
Microsoft Fabric Skills are reusable AI assistant instructions for working with Microsoft Fabric. They help GitHub Copilot CLI and compatible AI coding tools understand Fabric workloads, APIs, query patterns, and operational best practices.
Install with GitHub Copilot CLI
Add the public marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add microsoft/skills-for-fabricInstall the full bundle (except powerbi-authoring):
/plugin install fabric-skills@fabric-collectionOr install a focused bundle:
# Authoring: APIs, automation, notebooks, schemas, ingestion, and deployment
/plugin install fabric-authoring@fabric-collection
# Consumption: interactive querying, discovery, exploration, and monitoring
/plugin install fabric-consumption@fabric-collection
# Operations: diagnostics and performance investigation
/plugin install fabric-operations@fabric-collection
# Power BI authoring: semantic models, Power BI report skills, and PBIP workflows
/plugin install powerbi-authoring@fabric-collectionYou can also filter the full bundle by workload:
/plugin install fabric-skills@fabric-collection --filter "sqldw-*"
/plugin install fabric-skills@fabric-collection --filter "spark-*"
/plugin install fabric-skills@fabric-collection --filter "eventhouse-*"What is included
| Bundle | Use it for |
|---|---|
fabric-skills | Complete Microsoft Fabric skill bundle, including authoring, consumption, operations, migration, and end-to-end architecture skills. |
fabric-authoring | Creating and managing Fabric items through REST APIs, CLI automation, notebooks, T-SQL, KQL, Dataflows Gen2, Eventstreams, and semantic models. |
fabric-consumption | Read-only exploration and query workflows across Warehouses, Lakehouses, Power BI semantic models, Eventhouse/KQL databases, Eventstreams, Dataflows Gen2, and catalog search. |
fabric-operations | Performance and health diagnostics, including warehouse query insights and slow-query investigation. |
powerbi-authoring | Authoring Power BI semantic models, reports, and PBIP workflows, including Power BI report planning, design, authoring, and management. |
The full bundle includes skills for SQL data warehouse, Spark and Lakehouse, Power BI semantic models, Eventhouse and KQL, Eventstreams, Dataflows Gen2, catalog search, migration scenarios, and medallion architecture workflows.
See CHANGELOG.md for public release notes.
Try an example prompt
After installing a bundle, open Copilot CLI in a project folder and ask for the Fabric task you want to perform, for example:
Use Microsoft Fabric skills to design a medallion architecture for NYC taxi data.Authentication
Most Fabric operations require Azure authentication. Start with:
az login
az account get-access-token --resource https://api.fabric.microsoft.comSQL, Spark, Power BI, and KQL workflows may require workload-specific endpoints or token audiences. The installed skills provide the detailed commands and API patterns for each workload.
MCP servers
Skills provide guidance and patterns. MCP servers provide live tool access to data sources and APIs. Some bundles include MCP configuration where supported, and you can register additional Fabric MCP servers if your environment provides them.
See MCP setup.
Other AI coding tools
GitHub Copilot CLI plugin installation is the recommended path. This repository also includes root-level configuration files for compatible AI coding tools — CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, .cursorrules for Cursor, .windsurfrules for Windsurf, and AGENTS.md for Codex / Jules / OpenCode. They are picked up automatically when the repo is cloned.
Gemini CLI also auto-discovers GEMINI.md when the repo is cloned.
