Microsoft Fabric Governance Skill
⚠️ Staleness Watch (Last validated: Feb 2026 — REST API v1): Microsoft Fabric ships major features monthly. Monitor the Fabric release notes for new item types, API surface changes, and Git integration improvements. The REST API base URL (api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1) is stable but new endpoints are added regularly. See also EXTERNAL-API-REGISTRY.md.
Overview
Expert knowledge for Microsoft Fabric workspace management, governance, and documentation. Covers REST API patterns, medallion architecture implementation, permission compliance pipelines, and automated workspace inspection.

# Data Plan: [Project Name]
## Objective
[What business problem does this data pipeline solve?]
## Data Sources
| Source | Type | Frequency | Volume |
|--------|------|-----------|--------|
| [System A] | [API/Database/File] | [Daily/Hourly/Real-time] | [~X records/day] |
## Medallion Architecture
| Layer | Description | Key Transformations |
|-------|-------------|---------------------|
| Bronze | Raw ingestion from [sources] | Minimal: schema enforcement, timestamps |
| Silver | Cleansed, standardized | Deduplication, type casting, validation |
| Gold | Business-ready | Joins, aggregations, business logic |
## Data Quality Rules
| Rule | Layer | Implementation |
|------|-------|----------------|
| No nulls in [field] | Silver | Validation check |
| Referential integrity | Gold | Foreign key check |
[ ] All sources ingesting to Bronze
[ ] Silver quality checks passing
[ ] Gold tables serving [consumers]
