skills/gcloud-cli/SKILL.md
Execute Google Cloud Platform operations using the gcloud CLI (and gsutil/bq where applicable). Use when the user wants to: authenticate with GCP, manage GCP resources, deploy applications, configure projects or IAM, view logs, run SQL/BigQuery, or interact with any GCP service from the command line. Triggers on phrases like "gcloud", "Google Cloud CLI", "deploy to GCP", "create a VM", "Cloud Run", "GKE cluster", "Cloud Storage bucket", "set GCP project", "service account", "Cloud Functions", "App Engine deploy", or any request to manage Google Cloud resources via command line.

Service Commands Reference
For service-specific commands (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Storage, IAM, App Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Artifact Registry), see references/services.md.
Common Patterns
Get resource details
gcloud RESOURCE describe RESOURCE_NAME [--region/--zone]
Wait for long-running operations
# Most commands support --async; poll with:
gcloud compute operations wait OPERATION_ID
Use --format=value() in scripts
PROJECT=$(gcloud config get-value project)
IMAGE_DIGEST=$(gcloud container images describe gcr.io/$PROJECT/app:latest --format="value(image_summary.digest)")
IAM policy binding pattern
gcloud RESOURCE add-iam-policy-binding RESOURCE_ID \
--member="serviceAccount:[email protected]" \
--role="roles/ROLE"
