What it does

GCP Cloud Architect provides a step-by-step workflow for designing Google Cloud architectures: collect requirements, recommend a pattern (serverless, GKE, data pipeline, ML), estimate costs, generate infrastructure-as-code templates, configure CI/CD, and run a security checklist. The skill produces concrete artifacts (Terraform HCL snippets, gcloud commands, Cloud Build YAML) and pragmatic trade-offs for cost and availability.

When to use it

Use when planning a new service or migrating to GCP, when you need a default recommended pattern for a given scale and budget, or when you want automated IaC templates and cost optimization suggestions. It's suited for startups (serverless patterns) and medium-scale SaaS (GKE patterns).

What's included

Scripts: the skill references generator and optimizer scripts (architecture_designer.py, cost_optimizer.py, deployment_manager.py) though has_scripts=false in the fetch metadata; check the repo for runnable scripts.
References: descriptive reference docs for architecture patterns, service selection, and best practices (has_references=false per fetch metadata, but the SKILL includes reference file names).
Instructions: detailed workflow with input JSON examples, example outputs, IaC snippets, CI/CD templates, and security review steps.

Compatible agents

Best used by agents that can run or orchestrate scripts and present structured outputs (e.g., Copilot/Codex-style agents or assistants with Python execution capability).

Audit Summary

GCP Cloud Architect skill provides a well-organized 6-step workflow for designing GCP architectures with cost estimation and IaC generation. The SKILL.md is thorough with clear examples, anti-patterns, and cross-references. However, the three referenced Python scripts (architecture_designer.py, cost_optimizer.py, deployment_manager.py) are not bundled — the skill references them but cannot execute them, making the core workflow non-functional without manual setup. Written in Portuguese.

Watch Out

Referenced Python scripts (architecture_designer.py, cost_optimizer.py, deployment_manager.py) are not included in the skill bundle
Content is primarily in Portuguese which may limit accessibility
references/ directory files (architecture_patterns.md, service_selection.md, best_practices.md) are also not bundled

Notes

Clean security profile with no concerning patterns. Main issue is that the skill advertises executable scripts but doesn't include them — the workflow steps 2-4 all depend on running Python scripts that aren't present. This makes the skill a reference guide rather than a functional skill. The Portuguese language is consistent throughout and doesn't appear to be obfuscation.
