What it does

When you are choosing or setting up part of your software stack (where to host a service, which database, storage, messaging, authentication, analytics, ads or AI model serving), this skill tells the agent to fetch Google's online catalog of published skills, pick the few entries that fit your request, and follow them. The answer can then weigh Google options, their trade-offs, and when Google is not the right fit. It does not contain the Google guidance itself; it routes to it.

Great for

  • Developers deciding which Google Cloud product fits a part of their stack
  • Teams that want Google-specific setup guidance pulled from the current published skills rather than the agent's memory
  • Requests that name a Google product or API and need the matching skill loaded

Skip it if

  • Projects where the stack is already settled on another provider and no Google product is involved, since the skill says to skip these
  • Situations where the network is blocked or certificates cannot be verified: the skill requires a successful, verified fetch and otherwise tells the agent to say it could not reach the catalog
  • Anyone expecting fully offline or memory-only answers; the skill depends on live content that changes over time

Try asking

  • “Which Google Cloud database fits a write-heavy app with global users?”
  • “Help me set up Cloud Run for my Node service”
  • “What Google option should I use for event messaging between microservices?”
  • “Walk me through authenticating users with a Google product in my web app”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the product or the job you need (for example, storage or serving a model) so the agent can match the catalog quickly
  • Check the reply for the line stating whether the catalog was reached; if it says it was not, the answer is not based on the catalog
  • Review any commands the agent runs to fetch the catalog, since they execute in your shell and download content from the internet
