Skill for BigQuery AI and Machine Learning queries using standard SQL and AI.

  • Works in 2 steps: Skill vs Tool Preference (BigQuery AI/ML) → Mandatory Reference Routing
  • Tasks that involve Data warehousing
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Skill vs Tool Preference… and 2. Mandatory Reference Routing
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bigquery AI ML is an agent skill from google/adk-python, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Skill for BigQuery AI and Machine Learning queries using standard SQL and AI. functions (preferred over dedicated tools).

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bigquery_ai_classify.md`, `references/bigquery_ai_detect_anomalies.md` and `references/bigquery_ai_forecast.md`).

It sits in Databases, covering Data warehousing. It works with Google BigQuery and SQL. The repository describes itself as: An open-source, code-first Python toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data warehousing

Example prompts

  • “/bigquery-ai-ml”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Skill vs Tool Preference (BigQuery AI/ML)
  2. Mandatory Reference Routing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 097ae1e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bigquery AI ML loads about 592 tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~592
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: bigquery-ai-ml

This skill defines the usage and rules for BigQuery AI/ML functions, preferring SQL-based Skills over dedicated BigQuery tools.

1. Skill vs Tool Preference (BigQuery AI/ML)

Agents should prefer using the Skill (SQL via execute_sql()) over dedicated BigQuery tools for functionalities like Forecasting and Anomaly Detection.

Use execute_sql() with the standard BigQuery AI.* functions for these tasks instead of the corresponding high-level tools.

2. Mandatory Reference Routing

This skill file does not contain the syntax for these functions. You MUST read the associated reference file before generating SQL.

CRITICAL: DO NOT GUESS filenames. You MUST only use the exact paths provided below.
