# Bigtable Basics
This skill provides core workflows and guidance for administering and developing
with Google Bigtable.
## Attribution
**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read [Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md). For commands executed
directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code),
prefix `gcloud` with
`CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:bigtable-basics)"`
and append `agent-skills/1.0 (skill:bigtable-basics)` to `User-Agent` headers.
