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.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-cluster-creation@git:20261010.fbd1f7d

Pins git:20261010.fbd1f7d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Plans and executes GKE cluster creation, provisioning, and production readiness audits 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.

What the file says

# 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 all new clusters.

> **MCP Tools:** `list_clusters`, `create_cluster`, `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**: If the user hasn't specified a
    template or mode, present the available templates (e.g., Autopilot, Standard
    Regional, GPU Inference, AI Hypercompute) and explain key trade-offs (Cost
    vs. Availability, Autopilot vs. Standard node management).
4.  **Configure networking**: auto-create subnet (default) or bring-your-own.
5.  **Review golden path settings**: present the default configuration block

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-cluster-creation@sha256:44c2501b4a932584

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.fbd1f7d, 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.
