Design, review, and validate Google Cloud (GCP) architectures. Use when choosing GCP compute, storage, networking, or identity services, or applying the Google Cloud Architecture Framework (reliability, security, cost, performance).
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
# GCP Cloud Architect End-to-end GCP-specific architecture: service selection, Google Cloud Architecture Framework assessment, identity and networking patterns, cost optimization, operational defaults. Provider-specific complement to our generic `senior-cloud-architect` skill — that one covers cross-cloud patterns; this one knows when to pick Spanner over Cloud SQL, how Workload Identity Federation differs from Service Account keys, and the right Cloud Run vs GKE call. ## Core Capabilities - **Compute selection** — decision tree across GKE (Autopilot/Standard), Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run Jobs, Batch, Compute Engine, and Vertex AI. - **Data store selection** — decision tree across Cloud SQL, Spanner, Firestore, Bigtable, Memorystore, Cloud Storage, and BigQuery. - **Networking** — VPC, Private Service Connect, Interconnect/VPN, load-balancer choices, Shared VPC, peering, Cloud Armor, hub-and-spoke. - **Identity** — IAM, Service Accounts, Workload Identity (GKE) and Workload Identity Federation, ADC, and least-privilege role/scope binding. - **CAF assessment** — score workloads against the five Cloud Architecture Framework pillars. …

How to install
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/gcp-cloud-architect@sha256:4177c45c7e29299eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
