google-cloud-storage

google-cloud-storage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ashish7802/awesome-api-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Google Cloud Storage, Google’s cloud service for storing files such as images, videos, and backups. It covers uploads, downloads, access control, and integration with other Google services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating signed upload URLs, handling resumable uploads, serving files at scale, configuring secure bucket access, and using Google’s storage SDK.
Why use it?
It helps move large files directly between users and storage, recover from network failures, and reduce the risk of accidentally exposing private data.

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

google-cloud-storage 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/basic.py, examples/signed-url.ts, examples/upload.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Google Cloud Storage API Skill

Quick Start

Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is the GCP equivalent of S3, optimized for high durability and tight integration with Google's ML and BigQuery ecosystems.

npm install @google-cloud/storage

Common Workflows

Signed URLs for Client Uploads

Never pass file buffers through your Node.js application. Generate a V4 Signed URL using @google-cloud/storage, send it to the frontend, and have the browser PUT the file directly into GCS.

Production Patterns

Resumable Uploads

For files exceeding 5MB, always utilize resumable uploads. The SDK handles this automatically via bucket.file().createWriteStream({ resumable: true }).

Error Recovery

Handle intermittent network failures during massive downloads by wrapping stream pipes in error handlers and relying on GCS's native retry capabilities built into the Node.js SDK.

Security Notes

Use Workload Identity Federation instead of downloading static JSON Service Account keys. Enforce Uniform Bucket-Level Access to prevent accidental public exposure via individual object ACLs.

Performance Considerations

If you are serving thousands of small images globally, place Cloud CDN in front of your GCS bucket. Do not serve highly-trafficked public assets directly from GCS storage nodes.

Testing Guidance

Use the Google Cloud Storage emulator (fs-test-server) to mock GCS APIs locally during CI without incurring egress charges.

Troubleshooting

If Signed URLs fail with 'SignatureDoesNotMatch', ensure the Content-Type header sent by the browser exactly matches the contentType specified when generating the URL.

References

Why use this skill

Use this when your agent works with google-cloud-storage — structured patterns beat pasted docs and prevent common hallucinations.

AI pitfalls

  • Using outdated SDK or API versions from training data
  • Inventing environment variable names
  • Omitting error handling and retry logic

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.
