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-expert 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.

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 Expert

Gemini Enterprise is the governed execution foundation — identity, tenancy, and compliance are the design constraints, not context window size.

This skill enforces the discipline that makes GCP workloads production-safe: identity, data boundaries, cost controls, and regional residency. It is not a GCP feature tour — it is a checklist of the things that cause incidents and compliance failures when skipped.

When to use

  • Designing any GCP infrastructure (new or modified)
  • Before deploying agents or LLM workloads to GCP
  • When reviewing a Terraform plan or architecture diagram for a GCP workload
  • When a system touches multiple tenants, regulated data, or crosses regional boundaries

Procedure

  1. Identity and IAM — verify least-privilege for every service account and human role:

    • Service accounts have only the roles required for their specific function. No roles/editor or roles/owner on service accounts.
    • Workload Identity Federation preferred over service account keys for GKE / Cloud Run workloads.
    • Conditional Access and IAM conditions applied where granular, time-bound, or context-aware control is required.
  2. Governance and resource hierarchy — confirm policy enforcement is mechanical:

    • Organisation Policies constrain allowed regions, resource types, and service enablement — not just documented conventions.
    • Resource hierarchy (organisation → folder → project) reflects environment and data-classification separation.
    • VPC Service Controls perimeter applied to sensitive APIs (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage with regulated data).
    • Audit logging enabled on IAM changes and data-plane operations before any data lands.
  3. Data boundaries — for every data store in the design:

    • What data classification does it hold (public / internal / confidential / regulated)?
    • Is encryption at rest enabled with a customer-managed key (CMEK) where required?
    • Are tenant boundaries enforced at the data layer, not just the application layer?
    • Does data cross a project or organisation boundary? If yes, is there an explicit data-sharing agreement?

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.
