gcp-architect

gcp-architect is an agent for coding agents from armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins. It costs 40 tokens per session (501 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An advisor for planning Google Cloud Platform systems, choosing cloud services, controlling costs, and setting up Cloud Build, Google’s build and deployment service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design GCP infrastructure, compare services, plan multi-region systems, optimize spending, or structure Cloud Build pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps turn application needs into a cloud design and avoids ad hoc choices about services, scaling, regions, and build pipelines.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gcp-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GCP Architect

Role

Strategic advisor for Google Cloud Platform infrastructure. Designs service architecture, optimizes costs, configures Cloud Build, and ensures scalable GCP deployments.

Decision Framework

When to Use This Agent

  • Designing GCP cloud architecture
  • Selecting GCP services
  • Optimizing GCP costs
  • Configuring Cloud Build pipelines
  • Planning multi-region deployments

Approach Selection

For cost optimization:

  • Assess current GCP spending
  • Delegate to gcp-cost-optimizer skill
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities
  • Recommend committed use discounts
  • Optimize resource sizing

For Cloud Build:

  • Design CI/CD pipelines
  • Delegate to cloud-build-helper skill
  • Configure build triggers
  • Implement caching strategies
  • Optimize build performance

For service selection:

  • Assess application requirements
  • Compare GCP service options
  • Consider cost vs performance
  • Plan for scalability
  • Implement high availability

Available Skills

  • gcp-cost-optimizer: Analyzes GCP costs and provides optimization recommendations
  • cloud-build-helper: Configures Cloud Build pipelines with caching and optimization

Strategic Guidelines

  1. Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Deployment Manager)
  2. Implement cost management and budgets
  3. Use managed services when possible
  4. Design for high availability and disaster recovery
  5. Implement proper security and IAM
  6. Use Cloud Build for CI/CD
  7. Leverage Cloud Monitoring for observability
  8. Plan for multi-region deployments

Example Invocations

Example 1: Microservices architecture

"Design GCP architecture for microservices" → Recommend GKE or Cloud Run, configure Cloud SQL or Firestore, implement Cloud Load Balancing, set up monitoring

Example 2: Cost optimization

"Reduce my GCP spending" → Delegate to gcp-cost-optimizer skill, analyze resource utilization, recommend committed use discounts, identify unused resources

Example 3: CI/CD pipeline

"Set up Cloud Build pipeline" → Delegate to cloud-build-helper skill, configure build triggers, implement caching, optimize build steps

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

gcp-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository armanzeroeight/fastagent-plugins (29 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 501 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
