gcp-cloud

gcp-cloud is a skill for Claude Code from jpoutrin/product-forge. It costs 35 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of Google Cloud Platform infrastructure patterns for running applications, storing data, managing databases, and building data warehouses. Google Cloud Platform is Google's set of hosted computing and data services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or implementing virtual machines, serverless functions, containers, storage, managed databases, BigQuery datasets, Kubernetes clusters, or Terraform infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose and configure common Google Cloud services with attention to access control, audit records, encryption, and operating costs.

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-cloud 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 1mo 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

GCP Cloud Skill

This skill provides GCP architecture patterns and best practices.

Core Services

Service Use Case
Compute Engine Virtual machines
Cloud Functions Serverless functions
Cloud Run Containers serverless
Cloud Storage Object storage
Cloud SQL Managed databases
BigQuery Data warehouse
GKE Kubernetes

Terraform Patterns

# GKE cluster
resource "google_container_cluster" "primary" {
  name     = "my-cluster"
  location = "us-central1"

  remove_default_node_pool = true
  initial_node_count       = 1

  workload_identity_config {
    workload_pool = "${var.project_id}.svc.id.goog"
  }
}

Security Best Practices

  • Use Workload Identity (not service account keys)
  • Enable VPC Service Controls
  • Use Cloud IAM for access management
  • Enable Cloud Audit Logs
  • Use Customer-Managed Encryption Keys
  • Enable Binary Authorization for GKE

BigQuery Patterns

-- Partitioned table for cost optimization
CREATE TABLE mydataset.events
PARTITION BY DATE(event_time)
CLUSTER BY user_id
AS SELECT * FROM staging.events;

Cost Optimization

  • Use Committed Use Discounts
  • Use Preemptible VMs for batch
  • Enable autoscaling
  • Use BigQuery slot reservations
  • Archive to Coldline/Archive storage

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.
