By name: gcp-setup description: 🐉 Initial Google Cloud environment verification and authentication setup. Use when starting a new session to ensure correct identities across gcloud, ADC, and kubectl. metadata: author: Google version: 0.0.2
GCP Environment Setup
Use this skill to verify and harmonize your GCP identities at the start of an investigation or session.
Core Workflow
- Identity Verification: Run the bundled
gcp-whoami.shscript to check all three major identities (gcloud, ADC, and kubectl). - Harmonization: If identities mismatch, offer to fix them.
- To fix
gcloud:gcloud auth login [ACCOUNT] - To fix ADC:
gcloud auth application-default login - To fix GKE/kubectl:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials [CLUSTER] --region [REGION] --project [PROJECT]
- To fix
- 🛑 MANDATORY Next Step: Architecture Discovery: Once identities are verified and correct, check if the
./discover/{gcp-project|azure-subscription}/{PROJECT_ID_OR_NAME}directory exists. If it is missing or empty, you MUST immediately transition to thegcp-architecture-discoveryskill and explicitly instruct it to execute a full baseline discovery to sweep and map the entire infrastructure state.
Bundled Scripts
scripts/gcp-whoami.sh: Displays current identities for gcloud, ADC, and kubectl.
Safe Mode Support
If SAFE_MODE="enabled" is found in the environment or .env file, you MUST activate the safe-sre-investigator skill immediately after verifying the initial setup. This ensures all subsequent operations use read-only/non-mutating service accounts.
Note that the SAFE_MODE might impact kubectl authorization via RBAC.
