What it does

Google Cloud Solution Agentic AI Borderless Data Lakehouse is an agent skill from google/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Discovers requirements and designs a borderless open data lakehouse using Lakehouse for Apache Iceberg and BigQuery data agents. Use when architecting multi-cloud storage infrastructure (Cloud Storage, AWS S3, Azure Blob), establishing ingestion and AI serving subsystems, configuring Cross-Cloud Interconnect, or deploying Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and BigQuery data agents. Don't use for single-cloud data warehouses, or when the focus is on Knowledge Catalog metadata governance and Spark-driven IDE…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/output-template.md`, `references/design_recommendations.md` and `references/product_mapping.md`).

It sits in Databases, covering Data warehousing. It works with Google Cloud, Google BigQuery, Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Google products and technologies. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Architecting multi-cloud storage infrastructure (Cloud Storage
  • Establishing ingestion and AI serving subsystems
  • Configuring Cross-Cloud Interconnect
  • Deploying Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and BigQuery data agents

Example prompts

  • “Use the google-cloud-solution-agentic-ai-borderless-data-lakehouse skill to discover requirements and designs a borderless open data lakehouse using…”
  • “/google-cloud-solution-agentic-ai-borderless-data-lakehouse”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Requirements discovery and analysis
  2. Solution design
  3. Implementation plan
  4. Solution validation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7d97937. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • terraform

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.cloud.google.com
    • github.com
    • codelabs.developers.google.com
    • registry.terraform.io

    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

Google Cloud Solution Agentic AI Borderless Data Lakehouse loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 167 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,027 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~167
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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.

MultiProductSolutions

Borderless open data lakehouse agentic AI system

Follow this workflow to help users design and implement a custom multi-product solution in the cloud for a given workload, use case, or requirement.

Product Renaming & Terminology

When generating solution designs, architecture diagrams, and documentation, use the updated Google Cloud product names. For details on legacy vs. updated product names and terminology, see references/product_renaming.md.

Workflow

The solution design and implementation workflow consists of the following phases:

  • Phase 1: Requirements discovery and analysis: Analyze the workload's requirements, constraints, dependencies, and current state.
  • Phase 2: Solution design: Build a technology stack, architecture, and deployment configuration for the workload based on Google Cloud design best practices and recommendations.
  • Phase 3: Implementation plan: Generate automation and instructions to deploy the solution.
  • Phase 4: Solution validation: Validate that the deployment meets the requirements of the workload.
Phase 1: Requirements discovery and analysis
  • Step 1: Discover requirements: Understand the functional and non-functional requirements, business goals, and current state (if any) of the workload, including its architecture, dependencies, and constraints. Use the following questions to guide the requirements discovery process:

    • What are your primary data sources?
    • How do you manage and federate metadata across your data sources?
    • What are your security and credential management requirements?
    • What are the analytical and computational requirements to join and transform this borderless data?
    • What types of natural language prompts or user queries do you expect AI agents or end-users to execute against this data?
  • Step 2: Identify components: Based on the requirements analysis, identify the components of the workload and their relationships. Also identify any borderless components, hybrid components, or on-prem components that the solution needs to integrate with.

  • Step 3: Generate component decomposition: Generate a technical decomposition of the components of the workload.

  • Step 4: Ask for confirmation: Ask the user to confirm whether the generated technical decomposition matches their workload requirements.

  • Step 5: Iterate: If the user requests changes, then generate an updated technical decomposition, and ask the user to confirm the changes. Continue iterating until the user confirms the technical decomposition.

Phase 2: Solution design

Phase 3: Implementation plan
Phase 4: Solution validation
  • Step 1: Retrieve relevant verification resources (optional): If the resources from Phase 3 are not already in your context, retrieve the same implementation resources as the starting point for the validation checks and verification scripts that you generate in this phase.

  • Step 2: Define validation checks: Outline validation steps to verify that the deployed infrastructure meets the workload requirements:

    • Deployment dry-run: Commands like terraform plan to preview changes.
    • Connectivity and routing: Verification of network paths, load balancer routing, and service endpoints.
    • Security policies: Verification of restricted access, firewall rules, and IAM enforcement.
  • Step 3: Generate verification scripts: Draft lightweight scripts or command-line instructions (e.g. using curl or gcloud) that the user can run to perform these validation checks.

  • Step 4: Compile validation report: Document the validation steps, verification scripts, and expected outcomes in a single Markdown file.

  • Step 5: Conduct validation and finalize: Assist the user in executing the validation checks and troubleshooting any deployment issues. After the solution is validated successfully, request final approval from the user.

  • Step 6: Iterate: If the user requests changes, then generate an updated validation plan and repeat steps 2-5 until the user approves the validation plan.
