name: gcp-deploy description: Skill for deploying and managing agents on Google Cloud Platform, specifically Vertex AI Reasoning Engine.

GCP Deployment Skill

This skill provides a standardized way to deploy and manage AI agents on Google Cloud Platform. It handles environment validation, IAM permissions management, and deployment orchestration.

Features

• Environment Validation: Checks for required CLIs (gcloud), project settings, and authentication.
• IAM Management: Automatically audits and grants necessary permissions to deployment service accounts.
• Vertex AI Reasoning Engine Support: Specialized support for deploying Python agents as Vertex AI Reasoning Engines.
• Automated Staging: Handles the creation and configuration of GCS staging buckets.

Usage

When tasked with deploying to GCP, follow these steps:

1. Initialize Environment:

   Copypwsh .agent/skills/gcp-deploy/scripts/validate_env.ps1
   

2. Fix Permissions:

   Copypwsh .agent/skills/gcp-deploy/scripts/fix_iam.ps1
   

3. Deploy Agent:

   Copypwsh .agent/skills/gcp-deploy/scripts/deploy.ps1
   

Configuration

The skill uses environment variables from the project's .env file:

• GCP_PROJECT_ID: The GCP Project ID.
• GCP_REGION: The region for deployment (e.g., us-central1).
• GCP_STAGING_BUCKET: (Optional) The bucket used for staging artifacts.
