gcp

gcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,206 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 26d 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.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides scalable cloud infrastructure, featuring managed container runtimes (Cloud Run, GKE), BigQuery analytics, and Vertex AI foundation model tooling.

When to Use

  • Enterprise Google Cloud Infrastructure: Compute Engine (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Cloud Run.
  • Big Data Analytics & AI/ML: BigQuery data warehousing, Vertex AI foundation models, and Cloud Pub/Sub streaming.
  • Global Anycast Networking & CDN: Google Cloud Armor, Cloud CDN, and Cloud Load Balancing with single global anycast IPs.
  • Serverless Event-Driven Microservices: Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Eventarc.

Quick Start

# Deploy container directly to serverless Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy web-service \
  --image us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/hello \
  --platform managed \
  --region us-central1 \
  --allow-unauthenticated

Core Concepts

Cloud Run Container Service Architecture

Deploying containerized microservices that scale to zero and scale up dynamically:

# cloud-run-service.yaml
apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: order-service
  labels:
    cloud.googleapis.com/location: us-central1
spec:
  template:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        autoscaling.knative.dev/minScale: "1"
        autoscaling.knative.dev/maxScale: "50"
        run.googleapis.com/cpu-throttling: "true"
    spec:
      containerConcurrency: 80
      timeoutSeconds: 300
      containers:
        - image: us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/apps/order-service:v2.1
          resources:
            limits:
              cpu: "1000m"
              memory: "1Gi"
          env:
            - name: DB_USER
              valueFrom:
                secretKeyRef:
                  name: db-credentials
                  key: username

Pub/Sub Event Streaming with Python

Publishing and subscribing to real-time events with high throughput:

from google.cloud import pubsub_v1
import json

project_id = "my-gcp-project"
topic_id = "telemetry-events"

publisher = pubsub_v1.PublisherClient()
topic_path = publisher.topic_path(project_id, topic_id)

data = json.dumps({"sensor_id": 401, "temp": 24.5, "status": "OK"}).encode("utf-8")
future = publisher.publish(topic_path, data, origin="edge-gateway")
message_id = future.result()
print(f"Published message ID: {message_id}")

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 (15 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,206 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
