Does it support port forwarding for databases?

Absolutely. It provides pre-configured patterns for PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and custom web ports like 8080 or 8888 for Jupyter notebooks.

How does this skill handle private VMs?

It uses Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) tunneling to establish secure SSH connections to VMs without external IP addresses, bypassing the need for a bastion host.

Is the gcloud CLI required?

Yes, this skill automates gcloud commands, so you must have the Google Cloud SDK installed and authenticated on your local machine.

Can I see a list of available VMs before connecting?

Yes, running the base command without parameters will fetch a detailed table of your current project's instances, including their zone, status, and IP addresses.

Can I use this for file transfers?

Yes, the skill includes built-in support for SCP commands to move files and directories between your local machine and GCP instances efficiently.

云基础设施

Automates SSH connections, IAP tunneling, and secure file transfers for Google Cloud Platform virtual machines.

This skill simplifies the management of Google Compute Engine instances by enabling Claude to discover VMs, generate secure SSH commands, and configure complex networking tunnels. It streamlines the workflow for developers needing to access remote environments, supporting Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) for private instances, automated port forwarding for databases or web servers, and bidirectional file transfers using SCP. By abstracting complex gcloud CLI syntax, it allows for faster troubleshooting and environment setup directly within the Claude Code interface.
