What is gcp-playbooks?

A collection of SRE playbooks for investigating and reducing incidents on Google Cloud and GKE. SRE means site reliability engineering: practices for keeping services dependable.

Use it for infrastructure discovery and GCP/GKE actions such as Cloud Run rollbacks, traffic shifting, fix-forwards, resizing, and restarts.

It turns common incident procedures into repeatable, service-specific instructions instead of requiring responders to improvise each time.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add gemini-cli-extensions/sre --skill gcp-playbooks

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/sre

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install sre-extension, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 16 skills.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00037	$0.00522
Opus 5	$0.00018	$0.00261
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00104
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00052

Security

Grade A, and why

gcp-playbooks 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/report_errors_by_revision.py), 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.

What it actually says

GCP SRE Playbooks

Overview

This skill provides a collection of playbooks and reference materials for SREs to investigate and mitigate incidents on Google Cloud Platform. It focuses on mapping generic SRE concepts (discovery, mitigation, postmortem) to specific GCP/GKE actions.

Naming Convention

Playbooks follow a deterministic naming convention based on the GCP API service name, located in the references/googleapis.com/ directory. Example: run.md (for run.googleapis.com). Each file should also explicitly list the full API name at the top.

When to Use

When starting an investigation and needing to discover the infrastructure.
When following a specific mitigation strategy (e.g., rollback, traffic shifting).
When a user asks for "GCP playbooks" or "SRE playbooks".

Available Playbooks

1. Infrastructure Discovery

Located at skills/gcp-playbooks/references/googleapis.com/README.md. Use this to systematically identify the resources involved in an incident.

2. Cloud Run Mitigations

Located at skills/gcp-playbooks/references/googleapis.com/run.md. Maps generic mitigations (rollback, fix forward, upsize, restart) to Cloud Run actions.

3. GKE Mitigations

Located at skills/gcp-playbooks/references/googleapis.com/container.md. Maps generic mitigations (rollback, fix forward, upsize, quarantine, restart) to GKE / Kubernetes actions.

4. Cloud Build Investigation (Draft)

Located at skills/gcp-playbooks/references/googleapis.com/cloudbuild.md.

Core Pattern

Identify the Scope: Use gcp_resource_manager or the discovery playbook to find the relevant project and resources.
Consult the Playbook: Look for a matching playbook in references/googleapis.com/ using the short API name.
Execute Actions: Follow the gcloud/kubectl commands suggested in the playbook.
Validate: Verify the state of the system after each action.

Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
