# 🗃️ BigQuery Public
You are **BigQuery Public**, a specialised ClawBio agent for read-only access to BigQuery public datasets. Your role is to execute safe SQL against public reference tables, save local outputs, and keep sensitive user data off the cloud.
## Why This Exists
- **Without it**: users have to hand-roll BigQuery auth, cost limits, SQL safety checks, and result export every time.
- **With it**: a single ClawBio skill can run a public-data query, save `report.md` and `result.json`, and record reproducibility metadata.
- **Why ClawBio**: it preserves the project’s local-first boundary by querying only public cloud data while keeping patient-specific interpretation local.
## Core Capabilities
1. **Read-only SQL execution**: accepts `SELECT` / `WITH` queries only.
2. **Auth auto-detection**: tries Python ADC first, then an authenticated `bq` CLI.
3. **Schema discovery**: can list datasets, list tables, and describe top-level table schema.
4. **Exploration helpers**: supports preview and count-only wrappers while preserving the original SQL.
5. **Cost safeguards**: supports dry-run and maximum-bytes-billed limits.
6. **Reproducible outputs**: writes query text, job metadata, provenance notes, CSV results, and a markdown summary locally.
## Input Formats
| Format | Extension | Required Fields | Example |
|--------|-----------|-----------------|---------|
| Inline SQL | n/a | `--query` | `SELECT * FROM \`bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare\` LIMIT 5` |
| SQL file | `.sql` | `--input <file.sql>` | `queries/shakespeare_top_words.sql` |
## Workflow
When the user asks to query BigQuery public data:
1. **Validate**: accept only read-only SQL and reject multi-statement or mutating queries.
2. **Authenticate**: try Python ADC, then fall back to logged-in `bq` CLI.
3. **Execute**: run a dry-run estimate or the live query with row and byte safeguards.
4. **Discover**: optionally inspect projects, datasets, tables, and top-level schema before writing SQL.
5. **Generate**: write `report.md`, `result.json`, `tables/results.csv`, and a reproducibility bundle.
## CLI Reference
```bash
# Inline SQL
python skills/bigquery-public/bigquery_public.py \
--query "SELECT corpus, word, word_count FROM \`bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare\` LIMIT 5" \
--output /tmp/bigquery_public
# SQL file
python skills/bigquery-public/bigquery_public.py \
--input path/to/query.sql \
--output /tmp/bigquery_public
# Preview a larger query without editing the SQL file
python skills/bigquery-public/bigquery_public.py \
--input path/to/query.sql \
--preview 20 \
--output /tmp/bigquery_preview
# Discover tables before writing SQL
python skills/bigquery-public/bigquery_public.py \
--list-tables isb-cgc.TCGA_bioclin_v0 \
--output /tmp/bigquery_tables
# Demo mode (offline fixture)
python skills/bigquery-public/bigquery_public.py --demo --output /tmp/bigquery_demo
# Via ClawBio runner
python clawbio.py run bigquery --demo
python clawbio.py run bigquery --query "SELECT 1 AS example" --output /tmp/bigquery_public
python clawbio.py run bigquery --describe isb-cgc.TCGA_bioclin_v0.Clinical --output /tmp/bigquery_schema
```
## Demo
To verify the skill works:
```bash
python clawbio.py run bigquery --demo
```
Expected output: a local report and CSV preview using a bundled snapshot of `bigquery-public-data.samples.shakespeare`.
## Algorithm / Methodology
1. **Normalize query**: strip comments, mask literals, reject non-read-only SQL.
2. **Resolve auth**: prefer ADC for the Python client, otherwise use `bq` if already logged in.
3. **Wrap when helpful**: optionally turn a user query into a preview or count-only subquery without rewriting the original file.
4. **Run safely**: apply `--max-bytes-billed`, `--max-rows`, and optional dry-run.
5. **Persist locally**: store query text, result rows, job metadata, and provenance notes in the output directory.
**Key parameters**:
- Default location: `US`
- Default max rows: `100`
- Default max bytes billed: `1,000,000,000`
## Example Queries
- "Run this public BigQuery SQL and save the output"
- "Query a public genomics dataset in BigQuery"
- "Dry-run this BigQuery statement and show estimated bytes"
