What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the manual burden of profiling, cleaning, and transforming BigQuery and Google Cloud Storage data so pipelines can be made reliable, schema-aligned, and ready for downstream use.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dataplex-first profiling: Uses Dataplex scans to uncover null rates, value distributions, distinct counts, and hidden anomalies before any transformation is finalized.
- Source-aware cleaning: Handles ingestion, copying, moving, appending, and extraction workflows while applying safe conversions, JSON parsing, array handling, and struct alignment rules.
- Verification workflow: Rebuilds a temporary output table, profiles the result, and compares it against the source to confirm the cleaning logic fixed the detected issues.
- Use Case: A data team receives messy BigQuery source tables with inconsistent dates, malformed JSON, and sparse fields; this Skill profiles the data, generates cleansing SQL, and validates that the transformed output improves quality without introducing regressions.
Quick Start
Ask the Skill to profile your BigQuery or GCS source, generate the cleansing SQL, and verify the transformed output with Dataplex.
