Configures best-practice alerting policies for Google Cloud Vertex AI / Agent Platform agents on Agent Runtime. Use when analyzing, writing, or deploying alerting policies to monitor agent latency, error rates, and quality metrics (response quality, tool use, hallucination). Also use when provisioning online monitors for quality evaluation, or analyzing live metrics traffic footprints. NOTE: This skill currently only works for the Agent Runtime. Don't use for configuring general GCP alert policies or non-agent GCP alerting policies.

Provides expert guidance on authenticating and authorizing to Google Cloud services and APIs, covering human users, service identities, Application Default Credentials (ADC), and best practices for secure access.

Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring code to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions, and define verifiable success criteria.

Perform language and framework specific security best-practice reviews and suggest improvements. Trigger only when the user explicitly requests security best practices guidance, a security review/report, or secure-by-default coding help. Trigger only for supported languages (python, javascript/typescript, go). Do not trigger for general code review, debugging, or non-security tasks.

Use this skill to manage Google Cloud Workload Manager evaluations, rules, scanned resources, and validation results by using public client libraries and the REST API. Use when you need to inspect workload best-practice rules, create and run evaluations for Google Cloud general best practices, SAP, SQL Server, or custom organizational rules, review violations, export results to BigQuery, or automate Workload Manager through client libraries because no service-specific public CLI or MCP server is available. Don't use for general Google Compute Engine instance management, VPC configuration, or standard IAM auditing.

Reference for writing and editing skills well — the vocabulary and principles that make a skill predictable.
