gplay-setup

gplay-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PollyGlot/google-play-cli-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and troubleshooting workflow for connecting the gplay command-line tool to the Google Play Developer API. It uses a Google Cloud service account with the Android Publisher role and guides credential storage, account selection, and diagnostics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log in with a service-account JSON file or secret, check the active account and credential location, and diagnose authentication or developer-account configuration problems.
Why use it?
It helps resolve first-time authentication, account switching, credential rotation, and permission errors before release or account-management commands are run.

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

gplay-setup 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

gplay setup (auth onboarding)

Get gplay talking to the Google Play Developer API. This skill covers the auth namespace end to end; for the conventions every command shares (credential resolution order, exit codes, output), see gplay-cli-usage.

The credential

gplay authenticates as a Google Cloud service account with the Android Publisher role, invited to your Play Console. You supply its JSON key one of three ways (resolution order in gplay-cli-usage):

  • GPLAY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT, a path to the JSON file or the inline JSON itself (handy for CI secrets).
  • --service-account <path-or-json> on any command, overrides the env.
  • A stored Account registered with gplay auth login (the credential lands in the OS keystore, see gplay auth status for where).

First-run flow

# 1. Register the service account as the active Account.
gplay auth login --service-account ./service_account.json

# 2. Confirm what gplay will use, and where the credential lives.
gplay auth status

# 3. Run ordered diagnostics (credential valid? scopes? developer id?).
gplay auth doctor

auth status prints the active Account, the keystore backend, and the credential's location. auth doctor runs ordered checks and is the first thing to reach for when an authenticated command fails; it pinpoints whether the problem is a bad key (exit 10) or a service account that is valid but not invited on the app/account (exit 11).

Managing stored accounts

gplay auth list                     # every registered Account
gplay auth logout <name> --confirm  # remove an Account from the config + keystore

auth logout removes a stored credential, so it is --confirm-gated like every destructive write (missing → exit 3, naming the flag).

Use --account <name> on later commands to target a specific stored Account when you have more than one.

Verify, then hand off

Once gplay auth doctor is green, auth is done. Every other skill assumes the credential set up here; the next step is gplay-apps, to register a package (gplay apps add <package>) and pin it to the repo (gplay init).
