AI agent skills
Masthead provides a collection of pre-built AI agent skills that allow agents, such as Google Antigravity or Claude Code, to analyze and triage issues programmatically. These skills help agents interpret BigQuery dataset schemas, lineage information, and cost optimization recommendations more efficiently.
All skills are available in the for-agents GitHub repository.
Observability and incident management
Section titled “Observability and incident management”Incident triaging skill
Section titled “Incident triaging skill”Triage, analyze downstream impact, and mitigate data quality and pipeline incidents using the Masthead MCP server.

Cost optimization
Section titled “Cost optimization”These skills help AI agents interpret the insights table to recommend cost-saving operations across compute models, datasets, and tables.
Compute savings with data models
Section titled “Compute savings with data models”Optimize BigQuery compute costs by assigning data models like Dataform, dbt, or Airflow to slot reservations or on-demand compute based on Masthead recommendations.

insightstable in the Masthead BigQuery dataset, specifically compute recommendations for data models like Dataform, dbt, and Airflow - Skill definition: masthead-compute-savings-with-data-models
Compute savings with pipelines
Section titled “Compute savings with pipelines”Optimize BigQuery compute costs by identifying and pausing/disabling unused, dead-end, or inefficient pipelines that consume compute resources.

Storage savings with datasets
Section titled “Storage savings with datasets”Optimize BigQuery storage costs at the dataset level by switching storage billing models and setting expiration policies.
