Which GCP services can this skill troubleshoot?

It is optimized for Firestore, Cloud Run, Networking/Load Balancers, IAM, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage.

Does this skill require the gcloud CLI to be installed?

The skill prefers using MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools for direct access but can fall back to the gcloud CLI if the configured tools cannot access specific logs or audit data.

How does it handle security and permissions?

The skill analyzes audit logs to identify 'PermissionDenied' errors and suggests minimal, safe remediation steps, such as specific IAM role assignments.

Can it help with Cloud Run startup failures?

Yes, it specifically investigates Cloud Run revision logs and rollout history to diagnose crash loops, startup failures, and cold start issues.

Cloud Infrastructure

Diagnoses and resolves Google Cloud Platform issues by analyzing logs, metrics, and configurations across core services.

This skill provides Claude with a specialized framework for troubleshooting Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments, prioritizing efficient tool-based access via MCP over standard CLI commands. It enables streamlined root cause analysis for common issues across Firestore, Cloud Run, Networking, IAM, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage by scoping queries, analyzing audit logs, and suggesting safe remediation steps. It is designed to help DevOps engineers and SREs quickly identify why cloud services are failing or misbehaving without manually parsing through massive volumes of logs.
