gke-cluster-creation SKILL.md skillA
gke-cluster-creation from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Plans GKE cluster creation and provisioning as a pull request in the GitOps repository's format, and audits production readiness, using pre-defined templates (Autopilot, Standard Regional, GPU/AI Inference, AI Hypercompute). Use when creating GKE clusters, provisioning GKE environments, selecting cluster modes, or auditing GKE clusters. Don't use for application onboarding or deployment configuration (use gke-app-onboarding instead).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# GKE Cluster Creation
This reference guides creating Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters by
providing a set of best-practice templates and guiding through mode selection
and customization. The **golden path Autopilot** configuration is the default
for a new cluster whose workload states no requirement it cannot meet.
> **MCP Tools:** `list_clusters`, `get_cluster`,
> `list_operations`, `get_operation`
## Workflow
1. **Discover context**: Use `list_clusters` to see existing clusters. Use
`gcloud config get-value project` if project unknown.
2. **Gather inputs**: `project_id`, `location` (region or zone),
`cluster_name`, environment type. If missing essential details, ask the user
before taking action.
3. **Select mode & explain trade-offs**: When the request names a workload
the cluster is for ("with Agent Substrate installed"), read that
workload's install requirements before choosing anything (`SOUL.md` §3,
item 4.1): the Developer Knowledge MCP for what Google documents, the
project's own repository (**inspect-repository**) otherwise. A
requirement it states (Standard mode, a machine series, beta APIs, a node

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-cluster-creation@sha256:22e8944021eb123bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.9c1824f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
