BigQuery agent skills

BigQuery provides agent skills that can help your agent accomplish common tasks. Agents that use these skills can then accomplish tasks with higher fidelity than an agent without the skills.

Agent skills are a standardized way to give AI agents specific knowledge and instructions they can reuse. They contain resources like scripts, reference materials, and templates that help the agent complete tasks accurately and reliably. For more information about skills, see Agent Skills Overview.
