gcp

gcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a cloud service for running applications, storing data, and using computing resources. It covers Cloud Run, GKE (managed Kubernetes), and BigQuery (a data warehouse).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or deploying stateless containers on Cloud Run, managing Kubernetes workloads with GKE, querying large datasets in BigQuery, or setting up GCP access and networking.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose and configure GCP services without having to learn the platform's projects, networking, and permissions model from scratch.

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 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 5d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

GCP is known for its data analytics (BigQuery) and being the home of Kubernetes. 2025 highlights Vertex AI for rapid model deployment and Cloud Run for serverless everywhere.

When to Use

  • Big Data: BigQuery is arguably the best data warehouse for speed and ease of use.
  • Kubernetes: GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) often leads in features and stability (Autopilot).
  • AI: TPU access and Vertex AI for training large models.

Core Concepts

Projects

The primary unit of isolation. Resources belong to a Project. Projects belong to Folders/Organization.

Global VPC

Unlike AWS/Azure, GCP VPCs are global. Subnets are regional. A single VPC can span the world.

IAM

Permissions are granted to Members (Users/Service Accounts) on Resources via Roles.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use Cloud Run: The default computed choice for stateless containers. Scales to zero, fast startup.
  • Use Workload Identity: Let GKE workloads impersonate Service Accounts securely.
  • Shared VPC: For orgs, use a Shared VPC in a Host Project to centralize networking.

Don't:

  • Don't use owner role: It's too broad. Use precise roles (storage.objectViewer).

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 342 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
