Discovers and inspects BigQuery Data Transfer Service (DTS) configurations. Use this to identify existing ingestion pipelines and extract datasource or transfer config metadata for data pipelines. Use when a user asks for ingestion scenarios while building or managing data pipelines or when a user asks to "ingest" or "add" data that may already be managed by a DTS transfer.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/data-agent-kit-plugin /tmp/data-agent-kit-plugin && ln -s /tmp/data-agent-kit-plugin/skills/bigquery-data-transfer-service ~/.claude/skills/bigquery-data-transfer-service
```

## From README

BigQuery Data Transfer Service (DTS) Mandatory Guidelines \[!IMPORTANT\] All new BigQuery Data Transfer Service (DTS) configurations MUST be provisioned through the gcp pipeline resource provisioning framework, which includes generating a deployment.yaml. Do NOT use imperative CLI commands (e.g., bq mk or gcloud) to create or update configurations. CLI commands are permitted only for discovery (listing/showing) and triggering manual runs. This guide enables the discovery of existing ingestion resources and provides metadata related to ingestion when needed. Workflow Step 0: Discover Environment Parameters Before generating configurations, discover the actual values for the target project and region. \[!TIP\] If deployment.yaml already exists in the repository root, prioritize extracting project and region from the target environment configuration (e.g., dev).
