Does this skill require the gcloud CLI?

Yes, the gcloud CLI must be installed and available in your system's PATH for this skill to execute authentication commands.

Can I use this for specific GCP projects?

Yes, the skill checks for a GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variable in your .env file to set the quota project automatically.

How does the agent handle the browser-based login?

The skill runs the login command with the --no-launch-browser flag, captures the generated URL, and presents it to you to open in your local browser.

What is the benefit of using Application Default Credentials (ADC)?

ADC allows your AI agent and local applications to automatically find and use your credentials when calling Google Cloud APIs without hardcoded keys.
