finding-google-skills

Google platform decision and setup guidance, loaded on demand from Google's skill catalog. Use when a developer is choosing or setting up part of their stack, such as where to run a service, a database, storage, messaging, authentication, analytics, ads, or AI model serving, and a Google product is a reasonable candidate - whether or not a vendor is named - or when a request names a Google product or API. Brings in the matching Google skill so the answer can weigh Google options, their trade-offs, and when they are not the right fit. Skip when the stack is already settled on another provider and no Google product is named, or the task involves no platform choice.

bigtable-basicsAssists in provisioning instances/tables, designing performant schemas, and querying data in Bigtable. Use when designing Bigtable row keys, configuring column families, writing SQL queries or client library code (Java, Go, Python) for Bigtable, or diagnosing performance/hotspotting issues. Also use when provisioning Bigtable clusters using gcloud or cbt CLIs. Don't use for generic Cloud SQL administration.1 installs managed-airflow-migrationsProvides guidance for migrating Apache Airflow DAGs in Managed Service for Apache Airflow (MSAA; formerly Cloud Composer). Covers migration to Airflow 2.11.1 (MSAA Gen 2 and 3) and Airflow 3 (MSAA Gen 3), including environment inspection, GCS download/upload and scanning patterns for breaking changes. Use when migrating the DAG code to newer Airflow version. Don't use when checking DAG run failures unrelated to code migration.1 installs google-analytics-admin-api-basicsManages Google Analytics account and property settings, enables the Analytics Admin API via the Cloud CLI, lists accounts and properties, and manages data streams, custom dimensions, conversion events, and integrations. Use when you need to programmatically configure Google Analytics accounts, provision properties, manage data retention, configure Measurement Protocol secrets, or manage Firebase and Google Ads links.1 installs firebase-basicsProvides foundational Firebase CLI setup, CLI installation, version checks (`firebase-tools@latest --version`), CLI login (including --no-localhost), project creation, project selection (`firebase use`), and app config file downloads (`google-services.json`, `GoogleService-Info.plist`). Use ONLY for CLI login, project creation/switching, or downloading app config files. Don't use for Firebase Hosting deploy, Firestore, Auth, App Hosting, Data Connect, Crashlytics, or Remote Config.1 installs google-cloud-solution-rag-enterprise-search-gke-sqldbDiscovers requirements, and generates architectural, design, and deployment guidance for a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-capable enterprise search system in Google Cloud. Use when users need a vector-enabled SQL database as the store and index for the embedding vectors, an open model and open-source inferencing framework, and Kubernetes containers to host all the application components. DON'T use this skill for fully-managed RAG, or SaaS search services, or when a non-SQL vector database is required.1 installs google-cloud-storage-bucket-architectCreates Cloud Storage on Google Cloud (also known colloquially as GCS) buckets. Analyzes the workload (sensitive data, media hosting, ingestion, web hosting, archiving, backup, logging, analytics, AI/ML, or general-purpose), validates project-level security settings, and designs a secure-by-default, cost-effective configuration (location, storage class, uniform bucket-level access, public access prevention, soft delete, lifecycle) before creating it. Use whenever a user wants to create, make, set up, provision, or spin up a bucket, or needs object storage for an app, service, pipeline, or dataset — even a "simple" or "default" bucket, or when bucket creation is one step in a larger workflow. Outputs or executes the creation via gcloud, the JSON/REST API, Terraform, or SDK client libraries (C++, Java, Python, Go). Don't use for anything other than creating new buckets — for uploads, downloads, access changes, or reconfiguring existing buckets, use google-cloud-storage-basics.1 installs

google-ads-api-mcp-setupGuides developers through downloading, configuring, and installing the official open-source Google Ads MCP Server. Use this skill when a user wants to connect their AI assistant (such as Gemini, Claude Code, or Cursor) to their Google Ads account to query campaigns or retrieve reporting metrics using natural language.4 installs gke-workload-securityAudits, configures, and hardens workload-level security controls for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) applications and namespaces. Covers running security audits (`audit_cluster.sh`), enforcing Network Policies (default-deny and Dataplane V2 logging), isolating high-risk pods inside GKE Sandbox (`gVisor`), enforcing Pod Security Standards (`restricted` labeling) and pod securityContext, and mounting Secret Manager secrets via CSI (`SecretProviderClass`). Use when auditing workload security posture, isolating namespaces, applying pod security standards, or configuring network policies and secret volume mounts. Don't use for Workload Identity (use gke-workload-identity), cluster-wide control plane security, RBAC hardening, Binary Authorization, Shielded Nodes, or enabling platform-level GKE add-ons (use gke-platform-security instead).3 installs spanner-basicsAssists in provisioning instances and databases, designing performant schemas, and querying data in Spanner. Use when designing primary keys, writing SQL queries or client library code, or diagnosing performance issues.3 installs gke-manifest-generationGenerates and updates secure, production-ready Kubernetes YAML manifests optimized for GKE Autopilot and GKE Standard clusters. Use when creating or modifying GKE deployment manifests, configuring container security contexts, setting CPU/memory resource limits, defining readiness/liveness/startup probes, mounting secrets and volumes, configuring GKE Gateway API routes, targeting Spot VMs, or deploying AI model inference workloads (vLLM, TGI, Gemma). Don't use for live cluster operations, pod troubleshooting (use gke-workload-troubleshooting), or cluster infrastructure provisioning (use gke-cluster-creation).2 installs gke-upgradesPlans, executes, and validates Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster upgrades and maintenance operations for both Standard and Autopilot clusters. Produces upgrade plans, pre/post-upgrade checklists, maintenance runbooks with gcloud commands, release channel strategy, and troubleshooting guides. Handles node pool upgrade strategies (surge, blue-green), version compatibility, PDB management, and workload-specific concerns (stateful, GPU, operators). Use this skill whenever the user mentions GKE upgrades, Kubernetes version bumps, node pool maintenance, GKE patching, cluster version management, release channel selection, maintenance windows, surge upgrades, stuck upgrades, or any GKE lifecycle management task — even casual mentions like "we need to upgrade our clusters" or "plan our next GKE maintenance" or "our upgrade is stuck." Don't use for GKE cluster creation, application onboarding, general networking/routing setup, or security policy configurations (use gke-basics or relevant GK2 installs google-cloud-recipe-networking-observabilityInvestigates Google Cloud networking issues by analyzing logs, metrics, and diagnostics.
