# Tabular Editor Documentation & Configuration Guidance for searching Tabular Editor documentation and understanding TE3 configuration files (.tmuo, Preferences.json, etc.). ## Pre-flight Before using documentation search, verify `pbi-search` is installed: ```bash pbi-search --version ``` If the command is not found, inform the user and offer two options: 1. **Install `pbi-search`** (recommended): see `bin/README.md` for install instructions via `cargo install` or GitHub Releases at [data-goblin/pbi-search](https://github.com/data-goblin/pbi-search) 2. **Search without the CLI**: use the `microsoft-learn` MCP tools (`microsoft_docs_search`, `microsoft_docs_fetch`) for Microsoft Learn content, or `WebFetch` to retrieve docs directly from these sources: - Tabular Editor docs: `https://docs.tabulareditor.com/` - DAX reference: `https://dax.guide/<function>/` - SQLBI articles: `https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/` - Data Goblins: `https://data-goblins.com/` The CLI is strongly preferred; it searches all sources simultaneously and returns clean markdown.

About this skill
What does the te-docs skill do?

Tabular Editor documentation search and configuration file guidance (.tmuo, Preferences.json, UiPreferences.json, Layouts.json). Automatically invoke when the user asks about "TE docs", "Tabular Editor features", "TE3 preferences", ".tmuo files", "workspace database settings", "DAX editor settings", "per-model TE3 configuration", or needs to search Tabular Editor documentation for how-to guidance.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development --skill te-docs --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development, a repository with 833 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
