What it does

When installed, the agent follows a fixed Google Cloud pattern for building a secure web application split into several layers: a public Cloud Run frontend, private Cloud Run backend services that are unreachable from the internet, and a private Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL database with Redis caching. The agent produces architecture reports, security checklists, and Terraform (infrastructure-as-code) and gcloud commands that follow the skill's network isolation and firewall rules. The skill's files reference a Terraform template (assets/main.tf) that is not included in the provided file list.

Great for

  • Cloud engineers designing private, multi-tier serverless apps on Google Cloud
  • Teams with European data residency or sovereignty requirements who need regional deployments
  • Developers who want a starting Terraform draft and an architecture report to review with their security team

Skip it if

  • Projects on VMs, GKE, or non-Google Cloud platforms, which the skill says it should not be used for
  • Production deployments without expert review, since generated Terraform and firewall rules must be validated before applying and the skill mandates specific settings (e.g., POSTGRES_18) that may not suit every environment
  • Non-technical users looking for a simple website builder

Try asking

  • “Design a three-tier serverless web app on Cloud Run with a private Cloud SQL database in europe-west1”
  • “Create a security checklist for a zero-trust private VPC serving Cloud Run microservices”
  • “Generate Terraform for internal-only Cloud Run backend services using Private Service Connect”
  • “Write a solution architecture report for a regional, EU-sovereign serverless application”

    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

  • Review every generated gcloud command and Terraform file before running it, especially firewall and IAM rules, since the agent may execute commands with your credentials.
  • Specify your region, tier count, and compliance requirements up front so the agent can apply the regional and data residency rules correctly.
  • Note that the skill instructs the agent to print full code and to avoid subagents; check that the assets/main.tf template is present in your install, as the instructions depend on it.
