adk-deploy-guide

adk-deploy-guide is a skill for Claude Code from kumaran-is/claude-code-onboarding. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for Google ADK agents running on Google Cloud services such as Cloud Run, Agent Engine, or Vertex AI. It covers deployment targets, event-driven triggers, CI/CD, Docker, and Terraform infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a Google Cloud runtime, define infrastructure with Terraform, package the agent, connect event triggers, and set up deployment pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps turn an agent into a repeatable production deployment while reducing configuration, infrastructure, and permissions mistakes.

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

adk-deploy-guide scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

ADK Deployment Guide

Scaffolded project? Use make commands — they wrap Terraform, Docker, and deployment.

No scaffold? See Quick Deploy below. For production infrastructure, see the /scaffold-adk command or load the architecture-design skill for infrastructure planning.

Iron Law

NEVER create GCP resources manually via gcloud for production. Define all infrastructure in Terraform. Exception: quick experimentation only — console or gcloud for throwaway resources is fine.

What ships with it

4 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.
