GPD CLI usage

Use this skill when you need to run or design gpd commands for Google Play Developer Console.

Command discovery

• Always use --help to confirm commands and flags.
  • gpd --help
  • gpd publish --help
  • gpd monetization --help

Flag conventions

• Use explicit long flags (for example: --package, --track, --status).
• No interactive prompts; destructive operations require --confirm.
• Use --all when the user wants all pages.

Output formats

• Default output is minified JSON.
• Use --pretty for readable JSON during debugging.

Authentication and defaults

• Service account auth via GPD_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY is required.
• Validate access for a package:
  • gpd auth check --package com.example.app

Safety

• Use --dry-run when available before destructive operations.
• Prefer edit lifecycle (gpd publish edit create) for multi-step publishing.
