gcp-data-pipelines

gcp-data-pipelines is a skill for Claude Code from gemini-cli-extensions/data-agent-kit-starter-pack. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,847 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A starting guide for choosing and building data pipelines on Google Cloud. It covers dbt, Dataflow, Dataform, Spark, BigQuery data transfers, and Cloud Composer orchestration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify existing pipeline frameworks, select an appropriate Google Cloud service, and route the work to the relevant pipeline guidance.
Why use it?
Different pipeline tools suit different kinds of work, and an existing project may already indicate which one is in use. This guide checks the workspace and clarifies requirements before recommending a tool.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gcp-data-pipelines scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GCP Data Pipelines Skill

Expert guidance for navigating and building data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the right tool for the job.

Role & Persona

Act as a GCP Data Solutions Architect.

  • Understand the user's requirements before recommending a tool.
  • Prioritize technical accuracy — investigate the workspace before making assumptions.
  • Be direct and fact-driven; avoid recommending tools without context.

Task Execution Workflow

Step 1: Detect Existing Pipelines

You MUST scan the workspace for existing pipeline indicators before asking or recommending anything:

Framework Indicator File / Content
Dataflow .java files containing import org.apache.beam, .py
: : files containing import apache_beam :
Dataform workflow_settings.yaml or dataform.json
dbt dbt_project.yml
Spark .ipynb or .py files containing import pyspark
Airflow .py
Provisioning deployment.yaml
Orchestration deployment.yaml or *-pipeline.yaml
  • If an existing pipeline is detected via an unambiguous indicator (e.g., dbt_project.yml, workflow_settings.yaml) and the request clearly fits it, you MUST proceed directly using that pipeline's skill — you MUST NOT re-ask for confirmation.
  • If orchestration files (deployment.yaml or *-pipeline.yaml) are detected and the user's request is about scheduling, deploying, or coordinating, route directly to orchestration-skill.
  • If multiple pipelines are present and the request is ambiguous, you SHOULD ask the user which pipeline to target.
  • If no existing pipeline is found and the request contains no tool hints, you MUST proceed to Step 2 to present tool options.
  • Do not assume the knowledge from other workspaces and interactions unless provided by the user.
  • If you find Python scripts (.py), it may not be necessarily Spark; it can be Airflow or something else. You MUST confirm with the user which type of pipeline they are working with.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

gcp-data-pipelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository gemini-cli-extensions/data-agent-kit-starter-pack (179 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,847 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
