In 'SupplyChain.Report', dropshadows and borders are appearing inconsistently across various visuals. We want to disable dropshadows and borders globally across all visuals via the theme, and set card title font size to 14. What command pattern handles this?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this skill for theme design and compliance decisions. Use the pbir-cli skill for command details.
Use pbir for every report and theme mutation. Never edit theme.json, visual.json, serialized .Theme fragments, or other report JSON directly. Never fall back to jq, shell replacement, or a JSON-editing skill. If pbir lacks the required operation, stop and report the missing capability.
Read JSON only through pbir cat, pbir get, or read-only examples. Prefer structured CLI inspection commands because they explain the formatting cascade and usage.
A theme centralizes formatting that would otherwise drift across visuals. It should own repeated choices such as:
Visual-level overrides should remain only for content-specific exceptions or conditional formatting. Theme-first reports are easier to rebrand, diff, and maintain.
Power BI defaults
-> theme wildcard defaults
-> theme visual-type defaults
-> selected style preset
-> visual instance overrides
The last layer wins. Diagnose unexpected rendering with pbir visuals format, which reports the effective value and source; do not inspect or patch visual.json.
