GCP Patterns

What it does

Provides concrete, ready-to-use patterns and code snippets for deploying and operating services on Google Cloud Platform. The skill collects pragmatic examples—Dockerfiles and Cloud Run service YAML, BigQuery partitioning/clustering SQL, Pub/Sub publisher/subscriber code with idempotency and ordering, and IAM role patterns—so an agent can propose and generate deployment artifacts and operational recommendations.

When to use it

Use this skill when designing or deploying microservices to Cloud Run, optimizing BigQuery schemas and queries for cost and performance, implementing reliable Pub/Sub event processing, or creating IAM policies following least-privilege principles. It's useful during architecture reviews, CI/CD pipeline generation, and developer onboarding.

What's included

• Scripts/Examples: Dockerfile templates, Cloud Run YAML examples, SQL snippets for partitioning and clustering, and Pub/Sub publisher/subscriber code with retry/idempotency patterns.
• References: checklists and anti-patterns for common pitfalls (SELECT *, default service accounts, missing dead-letter queues).
• Instructions: deployment commands and operational checklists that an agent can surface or execute with user approval.

Compatible agents

Best-suited for developer-focused agents and CI automation tools that can edit files, run build commands, and interact with gcloud. Works well as part of a repository of infra patterns used by coding agents and DevOps helpers.
