What it does

The repository gathers Google's official skills for dozens of products and technologies, Google Cloud first of all. Skills are grouped by area: getting started on Google Cloud, GKE infrastructure, databases and analytics (BigQuery, AlloyDB, Cloud SQL, Spanner), app deployment on Cloud Run, observability and monitoring, security and IAM, advertising and Google Analytics. Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md, per-language references and sometimes scripts, and it gives the agent methodology and commands, most often via the gcloud CLI and product APIs. Some skills pair with the google-cloud-developer plugin and MCP servers for service access. It installs through the open skills ecosystem with an npx command, and you can pick only the skills you need.

Who it is for. For developers, devops engineers and data analysts who work with Google Cloud and other Google services from an agent.

Good fit when

  • You need vetted methodology and gcloud commands for a specific Google Cloud task
  • You need to stand up or troubleshoot a GKE cluster, set up monitoring or alerts
  • You need to work with BigQuery, AlloyDB or Cloud SQL from an agent
  • You need to sort out IAM access or project security

Not a fit when

  • You do not work with Google Cloud and other Google products
  • You have no Google Cloud account and no gcloud CLI installed

Example request

Help me set up monitoring alerts for my GKE cluster

Limitations

The skills provide methodology and commands but run them against your own Google Cloud project, so you need an account, a configured gcloud CLI and permissions. Commands change real infrastructure and may incur charges; the user is responsible for the outcome. Availability of Google Cloud from Russia depends on the account and service restrictions, which is why it is marked as uncertain. The skills ask you to tag gcloud calls with an attribution variable that carries only the skill name and version, no user data.

How to disable. Remove the installed skill folders from your agent's skills directory, for example ~/.claude/skills/. If you installed the google-cloud-developer plugin, remove it via /plugin.

FAQ

Do I have to install every skill?

No, the npx installer lets you pick only the skills you need from the repository.

What else do I need besides the skill?

A Google Cloud account, an installed gcloud CLI and project permissions; some skills additionally use MCP servers.

How are Agent Skills for Google products different from scattered skills?

It is Google's official collection for dozens of products, mainly Google Cloud: getting started, GKE infrastructure, databases, analytics and ads. You do not need all of it, skills are split by topic.

How do I install Google skills with npx skills add?

npx skills add google/skills works for Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Then pick the skills you need, for example BigQuery or GKE. Besides the skill you need access to your Google Cloud project and credentials.

  Manages datasets, tables, and jobs in BigQuery. Use when you need to interact
  with BigQuery, run SQL queries, manage BigQuery resources (datasets, tables,
  views), or perform basic data ingestion and analysis.

# BigQuery Basics

BigQuery is a serverless, AI-ready data platform that enables high-speed
analysis of large datasets using SQL and Python. Its disaggregated architecture
separates compute and storage, allowing them to scale independently while
providing built-in machine learning, geospatial analysis, and business
intelligence capabilities.

## Attribution

Tag every BigQuery command you execute directly in the terminal while using
this skill, so usage can be attributed. The tag identifies only the skill and
its version; it carries no user data.
