What this skill does
Architects, debugs, secures, and cost-optimizes Google Cloud — Cloud Run, GKE, Compute Engine, BigQuery, Cloud SQL, IAM, VPC. Use when deploying or reviewing anything on GCP, when a bill jumps or BigQuery scan cost has to come down, when a 403 PERMISSION_DENIED, a SERVICE_DISABLED, a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED quota error, a 502/503/504, or an unreachable Cloud SQL instance has no obvious cause, when choosing between compute (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Functions) or databases (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Spanner, Firestore, Bigtable), when hardening service accounts, org policies, firewall rules, public buckets, or secrets, when writing Terraform against the google provider, or when auditing an inherited project. Covers VPC/subnet design, Private Google Access, Vertex AI/GPU quota, Pub/Sub/Dataflow, backups/DR, and gcloud. Not for Kubernetes manifest authoring (`k8s`), Terraform language mechanics (`terraform`), or PostgreSQL tuning inside Cloud SQL (`pg`).
Google Cloud is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
How to install Google Cloud
The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:
- Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
- Open the in-app Skills panel.
- Search for
gcpand click Install. - The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.
Install from the command line
If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Google Cloud with a single command:
openclaw skills add gcp
This pulls gcp from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/gcp/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.
How to use Google Cloud
Once installed, Google Cloud activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.
Manual install (advanced)
If you prefer manual installation:
- Click the Download .zip button above to grab
gcp-1.0.2.zipdirectly from our S3 mirror. - Unzip into
~/.openclaw/skills/gcp/(create the directory if it does not exist). - Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
