vertex-agent-builder
Build and deploy production-ready generative AI agents using Vertex AI, Gemini models, and Google Cloud infrastructure with RAG, function calling, and multi-modal capabilities
validator-expert
Validate production readiness of Vertex AI Agent Engine deployments across security, monitoring, performance, compliance, and best practices. Generates weighted scores (0-100%) with actionable remediation plans. Use when asked to validate a deployment, run a production readiness check, audit security posture, or verify compliance for Vertex AI agents. Trigger with "validate deployment", "production readiness", "security audit", "compliance check", "is this agent ready for prod", "check my ADK agent", "review before deploy", or "production readiness check". Make sure to use this skill whenever validating ADK agents for Agent Engine.
collecting-infrastructure-metrics
This skill enables Claude to collect comprehensive infrastructure performance metrics across compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, and databases. It is triggered when the user requests "collect infrastructure metrics", "monitor server performance", "set up performance dashboards", or needs to analyze system resource utilization. The skill configures metrics collection, sets up aggregation, and helps create infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring and capacity tracking. It supports configuration for Prometheus, Datadog, and CloudWatch.
detecting-infrastructure-drift
This skill enables Claude to detect infrastructure drift from a desired state. It uses the `drift-detect` command to identify discrepancies between the current infrastructure configuration and the intended configuration, as defined in infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform. Use this skill when the user asks to check for infrastructure drift, identify configuration changes, or ensure that the current infrastructure matches the desired state. It is particularly useful in DevOps workflows for maintaining infrastructure consistency and preventing configuration errors. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "drift detection," "infrastructure changes," "configuration drift," or requests a "drift report."
generating-infrastructure-as-code
This skill enables Claude to generate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) configurations. It uses the infrastructure-as-code-generator plugin to create production-ready IaC for Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, ARM Templates, and CDK. Use this skill when the user requests IaC configurations for cloud infrastructure, specifying the platform (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and cloud provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), or when the user needs help automating infrastructure deployment. Trigger terms include: "generate IaC", "create Terraform", "CloudFormation template", "Pulumi program", "infrastructure code".
genkit-production-expert
Build production Firebase Genkit applications including RAG systems, multi-step flows, and tool calling for Node.js/Python/Go. Deploy to Firebase Functions or Cloud Run with AI monitoring. Use when asked to "create genkit flow" or "implement RAG". Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.
genkit-infra-expert
Terraform infrastructure specialist for deploying Genkit applications to production. Provisions Firebase Functions, Cloud Run services, GKE clusters, monitoring, and CI/CD for Genkit AI workflows.
