gcp

gcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from neverinfamous/memory-journal-mcp. It costs 64 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building and running applications on Google Cloud Platform, Google's cloud service. It covers services such as Cloud Run, Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, and access permissions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when provisioning Google Cloud infrastructure, setting up access control, deploying applications, configuring serverless services or Kubernetes, managing databases, or working with BigQuery.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common cloud setup mistakes, especially overly broad permissions and unsafe long-lived access keys. It also provides current guidance for deploying and configuring these services.

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 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.

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) Best Practices

STOP. Your knowledge of GCP may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training for any version-sensitive GCP configuration. Fetch current documentation when in doubt.

Guidelines for architecting and deploying secure, scalable applications on GCP.

1. Identity and Access Management (IAM)

  • Service Accounts: Do not use the default Compute Engine service account. Create dedicated, narrowly-scoped service accounts for each application (Cloud Run, GKE node pool, Cloud Function).
  • Workload Identity: Always use Workload Identity (for GKE) or Workload Identity Federation (for GitHub Actions/CI) instead of generating and storing long-lived JSON service account keys.
  • Least Privilege: Grant roles at the lowest level possible (Resource level > Project level > Folder level).

2. Serverless (Cloud Run & Cloud Functions)

  • Cloud Run: Prefer Cloud Run over Cloud Functions for containerized applications. It supports multi-concurrency (handling multiple requests per instance), which significantly lowers costs and cold starts.
  • Scaling: Configure minimum instances (min-instances) to 1 or more for latency-sensitive applications to mitigate cold starts. Ensure max-instances is set to prevent runaway billing.

3. Data and Storage (Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, BigQuery)

  • Cloud SQL: Use private IPs for Cloud SQL instances. Connect to them using the Cloud SQL Auth Proxy or Serverless VPC Access connectors rather than exposing them to the public internet.
  • Cloud Storage: Enforce Uniform Bucket-Level Access to manage permissions solely via IAM, disabling legacy ACLs. Enable object versioning for critical buckets to protect against accidental overwrites/deletes.
  • BigQuery: Always partition and cluster large BigQuery tables to minimize query costs (BigQuery charges per byte processed).

4. Networking and Security

  • VPC Service Controls: Use VPC SC to create secure perimeters around sensitive data (e.g., preventing data exfiltration from Cloud Storage or BigQuery).
  • Cloud Armor: Attach Google Cloud Armor to Global HTTP(S) Load Balancers to defend against DDoS attacks and implement WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules.

gcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository neverinfamous/memory-journal-mcp (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 583 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
