For AI agents: the Agent Guide

AGENT-GUIDE.md · machine-readable reference · always matches the current release

ChartKitchen ships with something few custom visuals have: documentation written for AI assistants — the full data contract (field roles incl. pitfalls), all ~90 formatting properties with exact names and values for PBIR authoring, the persisted states (sort order, expand state, column widths), formula syntax, DAX rules and the known traps. With it, an agent — Claude, Copilot, Cursor & co. — can configure the visual correctly instead of guessing: complete report pages from a prompt, including settings you would otherwise have to click together by hand.

How to use it: ① Hand the guide to your agent — paste the link into the chat, drop the file into your project, or put it next to your CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md. ② State the task (“report page: columns with ΔPL, YTD button, table sorted by ΔPY”). ③ The agent writes the matching configuration with exact property names — the guide also tells it what the data model needs to look like.

01Get going in three steps

From the import file to a finished IBCS chart — two or three fields are enough for the first diagram.

Import the .pbiviz

In Power BI Desktop, in the Visualizations pane click … → Import a visual from a file and pick the .pbiviz file. The ChartKitchen icon appears and can be dragged onto the page.

Fill Category + AC

Assign your axis to the Category role and your measure to the Actual (AC) role. Landing tiles appear — click a mode and the visual draws it right away.

Add PY / PL

Add Previous year (PY) and Plan (PL). Variances follow automatically: absolute and relative variance panels sit next to or above the base chart with no extra work.

Every step in detail — import, minimal setup and field roles — is in the Quick start chapter of the documentation →
