Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides expert guidance and assistance for deploying and managing infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It covers core GCP services including Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Firestore, and Pub/Sub, as well as Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). The skill also demonstrates the use of the gcloud CLI for common tasks like creating instances, deploying applications, managing storage buckets, and interacting with databases.

When to use it

  • You need help setting up a new Compute Engine instance.
  • You're looking for guidance on deploying an App Engine application.
  • You require assistance with querying or loading data into BigQuery.
  • You want to understand how to create and manage Firestore documents.
  • You’re exploring serverless functions using Cloud Functions and Pub/Sub messaging.

Key capabilities

  • Provides examples of gcloud CLI commands for common GCP tasks.
  • Demonstrates the creation and management of Compute Engine instances.
  • Illustrates App Engine deployment procedures.
  • Shows how to create and manage Cloud Storage buckets and upload files.
  • Includes code snippets for creating Cloud Functions triggered by HTTP requests or Pub/Sub messages.
  • Provides examples of BigQuery queries and data loading from CSV files.
  • Demonstrates Firestore document creation, querying, and real-time listening.
  • Shows how to publish messages using Pub/Sub.

Example prompts

  • "How do I create a Compute Engine instance in GCP?"
  • "Can you show me an example of deploying an App Engine application?"
  • "What's the best way to load data from a CSV file into BigQuery?"

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill provides code examples and CLI commands, but assumes some familiarity with Google Cloud concepts.
  • Replace placeholder values like project-id, topic-name, dataset IDs, and table IDs with your actual GCP project details.
  • The provided code snippets are for illustrative purposes; adapt them to your specific use case.
