Skill Registry

This skill provides instructions for interacting with the Skill Registry on

the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Core Capabilities

  • Skill Discovery - Query the registry to easily search, list, get

specific skills, and inspect revision histories.

  • Skill Lifecycle Management - Upload, update, or permanently delete

skills.

  • Operation Monitoring - Utility to check the completion status of

long-running state changes (LROs).

  • Generate Skill - Automate the initial scaffolding of new agent skills

locally.

Core Directives

  • Mandatory Validation: ALWAYS execute the environment validation check

before performing any operations.

Before any operation, you must validate the core environment.

    # Execute the validation script
    python3 scripts/validate_env.py
    

Prerequisites & Authentication

Library & Authentication

Ensure you have the latest Google Cloud credentials and libraries installed.

# Install required libraries
pip install google-auth requests

# Authenticate with Google Cloud
gcloud auth application-default login

Environment Variables

The following variables are required for operations:

  • GCP_PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud Project ID.
  • GCP_LOCATION: The region (e.g., us-central1).

Quickstart

Quickly search for available skills in the registry:

python3 scripts/skill_registry_ops.py search \
  --query "test skill" \
  --top-k 5


Operations

  • Skill Discovery: [query-skills.md](references/query-skills.md)
  • Skill Lifecycle: [manage-skills.md](references/manage-skills.md)
  • Monitor Operations:

[monitor-operations.md](references/monitor-operations.md)

  • Generate Skill: [generate-skill.md](references/generate-skill.md)

agent-platform-alert-configuration Configures best-practice alerting policies for AI agents using OpenTelemetry (OTel) metrics, generating output as Terraform (.tf) configuration files. Use when analyzing, writing, or deploying alerting policies to monitor agent latency, error rates, token usage, and quality metrics. Don't use for standard infrastructure monitoring unrelated to AI agents, or when the agent is not instrumented with OpenTelemetry (for Reliability, Cost, Safety, Security alerts). NOTE: Reliability, Cost, Safety, and Security alerts use generic OTel metrics and work across runtimes (such as Cloud Run, Vertex AI). Quality alerts rely on Vertex AI Online Monitors and are strictly bound to Vertex AI deployments. google/skills Apache-2.0 agent-platform-deploy Deploy open models or custom weights from Model Garden to Agent Platform endpoints, check the status of an in-progress deployment operation, or clean up resources by undeploying models and deleting endpoints. Use when asked to actively deploy a model, list the Model Garden CATALOG of available models, check if a specific model is deployable (`gcloud ai model-garden models list-deployment-config`), query deployment cost, troubleshoot deployment errors (like quota limits), or undeploy/clean up endpoints. Also use when copying and deploying a 1P Tuned Model. Don't use for pure listing/discovery questions of the form "is X deployed?", "list my endpoints", or "which regions have models running?" — for those use `agent-platform-endpoint-management`. Don't use for public Vertex AI deployments (use the `vertex-deploy` skill) or for running model evaluations (use the `agent-platform-eval-flywheel` skill). google/skills Apache-2.0 agent-platform-endpoint-management Manages Agent Platform serving endpoints. Use when you need to create, list, describe, update, or delete serving endpoints for model deployment on Agent Platform. Also use when troubleshooting endpoint permission, quota, or resource busy errors. Don't use for deploying models to endpoints or for running model evaluations. google/skills Apache-2.0 agent-platform-eval-flywheel Measures and improves the quality of AI models and agents on Google Cloud using the Eval Quality Flywheel methodology. Use when evaluating an agent or model, building an eval dataset, picking or writing evaluation metrics, analyzing failures, comparing results before and after a fix, or when guidance is needed on Agent Platform eval methodology — including dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. For fine-tuning, use agent-platform-tuning. For general production deployment, use agent-platform-deploy. google/skills Apache-2.0 agent-platform-inference Connects to and performs inference with Google Cloud Agent Platform GenAI models, including First-Party Gemini models and Third-Party OpenMaaS models (Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.). Use when asked to perform inference, ask a model a question, run a test prompt, execute chat completions, or generate code for calling Gemini or OpenMaaS models, authenticate with GenAI SDK, OpenAI SDK, or legacy Agent Platform SDK, configure base URLs and global/regional endpoints, or troubleshoot 429 Resource Exhausted (DSQ), 400 User Validation, or 404 Not Found errors. Don't use for deploying models to endpoints or for running model evaluations. google/skills Apache-2.0
