What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and fix gcloud and BigQuery authentication and permission issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Credential troubleshooting: Validate and activate service accounts, correct credential sources, and fix GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS vs gcloud credentials confusion.
  • Permission verification: Verify IAM permissions and test permissions against BigQuery resources.
  • Operational guidance: Clean up after service accounts and understand how new fields in nested schemas affect operations.

Quick Start

Activate the service account with: gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=/path/to/key.json Test access to BigQuery: bq query "SELECT 1" Verify permissions: TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token) curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
"https://bigquery.googleapis.com/bigquery/v2/projects/PROJECT/datasets/DATASET/tables/TABLE:testIamPermissions"
-d '{"permissions": ["bigquery.tables.get"]}'
