Interactive naming convention standardization for TMDL-based Power BI semantic models. Automatically invoke when the user asks to "standardize naming conventions", "fix naming conventions", "clean up model names", "apply naming standards", "audit naming", "make names human readable", "rename fields", "fix abbreviations in model", or mentions renaming measures, columns, or tables for consistency across a model.

Prompt

We want to add business documentation comments directly above measure and column declarations in TMDL files so they appear as description tooltips in Power BI. What TMDL comment syntax prefix creates object descriptions?

Standardize Naming Conventions

Interactive workflow for auditing and standardizing naming conventions in Power BI semantic models stored as TMDL files. Ensures tables, columns, measures, and display folders follow human-readable, consistent, business-aligned naming standards.

Primary Workflow

Phase 1: Discover the Model

Locate the TMDL files. Ask the user for the path to the .SemanticModel/definition/ directory if not obvious from context. Then scan the model structure:

# Count tables and get an overview
ls <path>/tables/*.tmdl

Read all table TMDL files to build a complete picture of current naming patterns. Focus on:

Table names (check for DIM_, FACT_, or other technical prefixes)
Measure names (check for abbreviations, programming conventions, inconsistent syntax)
Column names (check for CamelCase, snake_case, abbreviations)
Display folder structure (check for organization and consistency)
Presence of descriptions (/// comments)

Phase 2: Understand Business Context

CRITICAL: Do not rename anything without understanding the business terminology.

Use AskUserQuestion to gather context:

Business terminology: "What terminology does your organization use for key metrics? For example, do you call it Revenue, Turnover, Sales, or Gross Sales?"
Existing conventions: "Do you have any documented naming conventions or standards already?"
Period conventions: "How do you typically refer to prior periods? (e.g., 1YP, PY, Prior Year, Last Year)"
Unit conventions: "How do you typically express units in measure names? (e.g., parentheses like (%), (Value), (Quantity))"
Downstream impact: "Are there downstream reports connected to this model that would need visual rebinding after renaming?"

Adapt the naming rules to the user's business context. The rules in references/naming-rules.md are defaults -- override them when the user's organization has established conventions.

Phase 3: Audit and Report

Before making changes, produce an audit report. Present a markdown table showing each proposed rename:
