It turns the BigQuery Cloud Billing export into accurate GCP spend reporting so you can see what was actually charged instead of relying on estimates or rate-card approximations.
Use the gcp-spend skill to report actual GCP spend for the requested date range, including gross cost, credits, and net cost.

To report actual GCP spend, query the BigQuery Cloud Billing export to sum gross cost and credits, producing invoice-aligned net cost results. This method matches invoiced spend precisely by using the exported billing table rather than relying on rate-card approximations.
Yes, GCP spend can be broken down by service or SKU. The Skill summarizes the BigQuery billing export data for any requested date range, helping identify which specific products or services are driving costs within current or historical billing windows.
Analyzing net invoice spend requires the BigQuery Cloud Billing export table. The Skill discovers the billing project from .env and the specific table via bq ls, then sums both costs and applied credits to ensure the reported net spend matches invoiced charges.
The current day is flagged as partial in GCP spend reports due to export lag. Because the BigQuery Cloud Billing export data updates on a delay, the most recent day's cost and credit data is incomplete and will not reflect the final invoiced amount.
Getting started requires setting the GCP project in a .env file and locating the billing table using bq ls. Once the billing table is discovered, the Skill can calculate gross cost, applied credits, and net spend for daily or arbitrary date ranges.
Yes, this approach to GCP cost analysis includes applied credits. By summing both gross cost and credits from the BigQuery Cloud Billing export, it produces an invoice-aligned net cost that reflects actual charges rather than just gross usage estimates.
