GCP Setup — Cloud Build + Cloud Run
Interactive skill for bootstrapping GCP infrastructure for Cloud Build + Cloud Run projects. Handles everything from gcloud auth login to verified production deploy.
Security First
Every phase validates security posture. The skill enforces:
- Dedicated runtime service account (never default compute SA)
- Per-secret IAM bindings (never project-level secretAccessor)
- Approval-gated Cloud Build triggers
- Non-root container execution
- Optional app-level OAuth with configurable domain restriction
- Same-origin CORS in production
- Secrets in Secret Manager only (never env vars, never in images)

Workflow
Phase 0: Config Detection
Detect and load configuration before any infrastructure operations.
0a: User-Level Customization (BLOCKING)
Check ~/.agents/customization/gcp-setup/index.md for saved preferences.
If missing, use AskUserQuestion to collect:
- Company domain (e.g.,
example.com) - Company name (e.g.,
Example Corp) - GitHub organization (e.g.,
ExampleOrg) - Preferred GCP region (e.g.,
us-central1)
Save to ~/.agents/customization/gcp-setup/index.md:
# GCP Setup Preferences
- domain: example.com
- company: Example Corp
- github_org: ExampleOrg
- region: us-central1
If values already exist, present them as defaults. If user provides different values, update index.md.
0b: Project-Level Config (BLOCKING)
Detect .gcp-setup.yml in the project root.
If exists: Load and present current config to user. AskUserQuestion: "Config found. Proceed with these settings, or modify?"
If missing: Auto-detect everything possible, then confirm. Typeform-style: one question at a time, smart defaults, minimal friction.
Step 1: Silent auto-detection (no user interaction — run all probes first)
# GitHub repo from git remote
GITHUB_REMOTE=$(git remote get-url origin || true)
GITHUB_SLUG=$(printf "%s\n" "$GITHUB_REMOTE" | sed -E 's#.*[:/]([^/]+/[^/.]+)(\.git)?$#\1#')
DIR_NAME=$(basename "$(pwd)")
# Runtime + framework
RUNTIME=""
[[ -f package.json ]] && RUNTIME="nodejs"
[[ -f requirements.txt || -f pyproject.toml ]] && RUNTIME="python"
[[ -f go.mod ]] && RUNTIME="go"
FRAMEWORK=""
[[ -f package.json ]] && grep -q '"express"' package.json && FRAMEWORK="express"
for file in requirements.txt pyproject.toml; do
[[ -f "$file" ]] && grep -q 'fastapi' "$file" && FRAMEWORK="fastapi"
done
# Feature detection from code/dependencies
HAS_OAUTH=$(grep -rl -m 1 "passport\|GoogleStrategy\|google-auth-library\|authlib" \
--include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" \
--exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=vendor . | head -1)

--include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.py" . | head -1 | tr -d '"')
# Secret manifest from .env.example
ENV_EXAMPLE=""
for candidate in .env.example .env.sample env.example; do
[[ -f "$candidate" ]] && ENV_EXAMPLE="$candidate" && break
done
# GCP projects (for matching)
if GCLOUD_BIN=$(command -v gcloud); then
GCP_PROJECTS=$("$GCLOUD_BIN" projects list --format="value(projectId)")
else
GCP_PROJECTS=""
fi
Load user preferences from Phase 0a (~/.agents/customization/gcp-setup/index.md): domain, company, org, region.
Step 2: Typeform questionnaire — one AskUserQuestion per step
Rules:
- First option = recommended default (auto-detected or convention-based)
- Skip question entirely if auto-detection is unambiguous (e.g., GitHub repo from remote)
- NEVER ask about convention-derived values — fill them automatically
- Options must be concrete and actionable — no "Chat about this" or "Need to setup later"
- Target: 2-4 questions max for a typical project
Q1: GCP Projects (required — cannot auto-detect)
Filter $GCP_PROJECTS for pairs matching *-stage/*-dev + *-prod patterns, or containing $DIR_NAME. Present best-match pair first:
detected-app-dev+detected-app-prod(if pair found)- Pick from my GCP projects (show filtered short-list)
- Enter project IDs manually
Multi-app pattern: Multiple apps can share the same GCP projects. Each app gets its own
.gcp-setup.ymlwith uniquesa_prefix,service_name, and secret names. Shared resources (AR repo, KMS keyring, GitHub connection) are created idempotently — the second app's provisioning simply finds them already in place. Seecookbook/environments.mdfor naming conventions and examples.
Q2: Service Names (skip if $DIR_NAME is clean)
${DIR_NAME}-stage,${DIR_NAME}— convention: stage suffixed, prod is base name- Enter custom names
If $DIR_NAME produces clean service names (lowercase, no special chars, <30 chars), skip this question and use option 1 automatically — show in review.
Q3: Detected Features (confirmation only)
Present auto-detected features as a summary:
- Runtime:
$RUNTIME/$FRAMEWORK(or "not detected") - OAuth: Yes/No (based on
$HAS_OAUTH) - Firestore: Yes/No (based on
$HAS_FIRESTORE) - Health endpoint:
$HEALTH_EPor/api/health(default)
- Confirm
- Change (let user toggle specific features)
If nothing ambiguous was detected, skip this question too.
Q3b: OAuth Mode (conditional — only when OAuth = Yes from Q3)
How should this app handle authentication?
Standalone — This app authenticates users directly via Google OAuth. Each app needs its own redirect URIs registered in the GCP Console. Standard setup for single apps or small teams.
Auth-proxy — This app IS a centralized authentication service. Register its OAuth redirect URIs once. Future apps delegate auth to this proxy — no additional Console configuration needed per app. See
cookbook/auth-proxy.mdfor full architecture.IAP (recommended for internal tools) — Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy. Google manages the entire auth flow. Enable per service with one CLI flag (
--iap). No redirect URIs, no OAuth clients to manage per app, no extra infrastructure. Access controlled via IAM policies. Trade-off: no custom login UI (Google's IAP login page). Seecookbook/iap-setup.mdfor setup guide.
Cannot be auto-detected — always ask when OAuth is enabled.
Set oauth.mode to standalone (option 1), auth-proxy (option 2), or iap (option 3).
Q4: Review & Generate
Build the COMPLETE config YAML from auto-detected values + user answers + conventions. Present it formatted.
Convention-derived values (NEVER ask the user for these):
artifact_registry.repo_name:docker-imagessa_prefix.runtime:app-runtimesa_prefix.cloudbuild:app-cloudbuildkms.keyring:cloudbuild-keyskms.key:connection-keygithub.connection_name: repo name from sluggithub.linked_repo: slug with/replaced by-oauth.callback_path:/auth/google/cb(Express + Passport) or/api/auth/callback/google(Auth.js / NextAuth) — register BOTH in OAuth client redirect URIsoauth.domain_restriction: company domain from user preferencesoauth.consent_type:Internaloauth.mode: from Q3b answer (default:standalone). Wheniapis selected,oauth.callback_pathandoauth.consent_typeare not used (IAP manages these).firestore.collection:express-sessionsfirestore.ttl_field:expiresAt- Build configs: detected files or
cloudbuild-stage.yaml/cloudbuild-prod.yaml - Secrets: OAuth secrets if OAuth detected +
session-secretwithauto_generate: true
- Save as
.gcp-setup.yml - Modify specific values (re-present after changes)
Generate .gcp-setup.yml using assets/gcp-setup-example.yml as template reference. Write to project root.
.gcp-setup.ymlcontains no secrets and should be committed to version control.
After saving config, ensure .env files are gitignored:
# Ensure .env files are gitignored (secret values must never be committed)
if [[ -f .gitignore ]]; then
grep -qxF '.env' .gitignore || echo '.env' >> .gitignore
grep -qxF '.env.*' .gitignore || echo '.env.*' >> .gitignore
else
printf '.env\n.env.*\n' > .gitignore
fi
0c: Build Files Generation
After config is saved, check for missing build files and generate from templates. See cookbook/build-setup.md for the full non-tech guide.
Detection (uses variables from Phase 0b Step 1):
HAS_DOCKERFILE=$([[ -n "$DOCKERFILE" ]] && echo true || echo false)
HAS_DOCKERIGNORE=$([[ -f .dockerignore ]] && echo true || echo false)
HAS_CLOUDBUILD=$([[ -n "$CLOUDBUILD_FILES" ]] && echo true || echo false)
1. .dockerignore (always generate if missing):
cp "$SKILL_DIR/assets/dockerignore-template" .dockerignore
2. Dockerfile (generate if missing, based on detected $RUNTIME):
| Runtime | Template | Default CMD |
|---|---|---|
nodejs |
$SKILL_DIR/assets/dockerfile-node.template |
CMD ["node", "server.js"] |
python |
$SKILL_DIR/assets/dockerfile-python.template |
CMD ["uvicorn", "main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080"] |
go |
$SKILL_DIR/assets/dockerfile-go.template |
ENTRYPOINT ["/app/server"] |
After copying the template, adjust the CMD/ENTRYPOINT based on detected framework and entry point:
- Express: detect
mainfield inpackage.jsonorserver.js/index.js/app.js - Next.js:
CMD ["npm", "start"] - FastAPI: detect
main:apporapp.main:appfrom imports - Flask/Django: detect
app:apporproject.wsgi:application
If runtime is not detected, use AskUserQuestion to ask which runtime to use.
3. CloudBuild YAMLs (generate if missing):
Read $SKILL_DIR/assets/cloudbuild-template.yaml and substitute tokens from config. Generate TWO files:
cloudbuild-stage.yaml:
CONFIG=".gcp-setup.yml"
PROJECT_ID=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.id' "$CONFIG")
SERVICE_NAME=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.service_name' "$CONFIG")
REGION=$(yq -r '.region' "$CONFIG")
REPO_NAME=$(yq -r '.artifact_registry.repo_name' "$CONFIG")
IMAGE_NAME="$SERVICE_NAME"
MAX_INSTANCES=$(yq -r '.app.max_instances_stage // 5' "$CONFIG")
SA_PREFIX=$(yq -r '.sa_prefix.runtime' "$CONFIG")
RUNTIME_SA="${SA_PREFIX}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
APP_DIR=$(dirname "$(yq -r '.app.dockerfile_path // "Dockerfile"' "$CONFIG")")
[[ "$APP_DIR" == "." || -z "$APP_DIR" ]] && APP_DIR="."
# Resolve auth flag and IAP settings based on oauth.mode
OAUTH_MODE=$(yq -r '.oauth.mode // "standalone"' "$CONFIG")
if [[ "$OAUTH_MODE" == "iap" ]]; then
_AUTH_FLAG="--no-allow-unauthenticated"
_IAP_FLAG="--iap"
_ENTRYPOINT="gcloud beta"
else
_AUTH_FLAG="--allow-unauthenticated"
_IAP_FLAG=""
_ENTRYPOINT="gcloud"
fi
# Generate secrets mapping from manifest
SECRETS_MAPPING=""
SECRET_COUNT=$(yq -r '.secrets | length' "$CONFIG")
for ((i=0; i<SECRET_COUNT; i++)); do
NAME=$(yq -r ".secrets[$i].name" "$CONFIG")
ENV_VAR=$(yq -r ".secrets[$i].env_var" "$CONFIG")
[[ -n "$SECRETS_MAPPING" ]] && SECRETS_MAPPING="${SECRETS_MAPPING},"
SECRETS_MAPPING="${SECRETS_MAPPING}${ENV_VAR}=${NAME}:latest"
done
Substitute all __TOKEN__ placeholders in the template and write to cloudbuild-stage.yaml:
- Replace
__ENTRYPOINT__with$_ENTRYPOINT(i.e.,gcloud betafor IAP,gcloudotherwise) - Replace
__AUTH_FLAG__with$_AUTH_FLAG - If
$_IAP_FLAGis non-empty, replace__IAP_FLAG__with--iap - If
$_IAP_FLAGis empty, remove the entire- '__IAP_FLAG__'line from the generated YAML (do not leave an empty string arg) - If
$SECRETS_MAPPINGis empty, remove the entire--set-secrets=__SECRETS_MAPPING__line (an empty--set-secrets=causes deploy failure) - If
$ENV_VARSis empty, remove the entire--set-env-vars=__ENV_VARS__line (an empty--set-env-vars=causes deploy failure)
cloudbuild-prod.yaml: Same process with prod values and max_instances_prod (default: 100).
AskUserQuestion gate: Present a summary of generated files:
Generated build files:
- .dockerignore (universal exclusions)
- Dockerfile (Node.js multi-stage, non-root)
- cloudbuild-stage.yaml (stage project, max 5 instances)
- cloudbuild-prod.yaml (prod project, max 100 instances)
Review and confirm, or modify specific files.
All generated files should be committed to version control.
0d: Project Documentation
After build files are in place, generate project documentation if missing. These docs help onboard new team members and guide AI assistants.
Detection:
HAS_SECRETS_GUIDE=$([[ -f docs/managing-secrets-and-envs.md ]] && echo true || echo false)
HAS_README=$([[ -f README.md ]] && echo true || echo false)
HAS_AGENTS=$([[ -f AGENTS.md || -f CLAUDE.md ]] && echo true || echo false)
Compute deterministic URLs (needed for templates):
CONFIG=".gcp-setup.yml"
STAGE_PROJECT=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.id' "$CONFIG")
PROD_PROJECT=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.id' "$CONFIG")
STAGE_SERVICE=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.service_name' "$CONFIG")
PROD_SERVICE=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.service_name' "$CONFIG")
REGION=$(yq -r '.region' "$CONFIG")
STAGE_NUM=$(gcloud projects describe "$STAGE_PROJECT" --format="value(projectNumber)")
PROD_NUM=$(gcloud projects describe "$PROD_PROJECT" --format="value(projectNumber)")
STAGE_URL="https://${STAGE_SERVICE}-${STAGE_NUM}.${REGION}.run.app"
PROD_URL="https://${PROD_SERVICE}-${PROD_NUM}.${REGION}.run.app"
CB_CONSOLE_STAGE="https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds;region=${REGION}?project=${STAGE_PROJECT}"
CB_CONSOLE_PROD="https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/builds;region=${REGION}?project=${PROD_PROJECT}"
For each missing doc, generate from template:
docs/managing-secrets-and-envs.md— Read$SKILL_DIR/assets/managing-secrets-and-envs.template.md, substitute tokens from config. Generate${SECRETS_TABLE}from secrets manifest:| Secret Name | Env Var | Environments | |-------------|---------|--------------| | oauth-client-id | GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID | stage, prod | ...Generate

AskUserQuestion gate: Present generated docs summary:
Generated project documentation:
- docs/managing-secrets-and-envs.md (secrets guide with current inventory)
- README.md (environments, local dev, deploy workflow)
- AGENTS.md (AI assistant project guidelines)
Review and confirm, or modify specific files.
All generated docs should be committed to version control.
0e: GCP State Probe
Probe existing infrastructure state (unchanged logic, reads from config):
CONFIG=".gcp-setup.yml"
STAGE=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.id' "$CONFIG")
PROD=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.id' "$CONFIG")
# Quick check — do APIs exist?
gcloud services list --enabled --filter="name:run.googleapis.com" --project="$STAGE" --format="value(name)"
Present state table to user and use AskUserQuestion:
- "Here's what already exists. Which phases do you want to run? (0=all from scratch, 1=preflight only, 2=provision, 3=secrets, 4=oauth, 5=verify)"
- If everything exists: suggest Phase 5 (verify) only
Phase 1: Preflight Validation
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/preflight.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml
AskUserQuestion gate: If any required check fails, present install instructions and wait for confirmation before proceeding.
Phase 2: GCP Resource Provisioning
MANDATORY — CMEK Encryption Key Setup:
Before creating the GitHub connection, provision a Cloud KMS encryption key. Connection data (including GitHub OAuth tokens stored in Secret Manager) MUST be encrypted with a customer-managed key.
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/provision.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml --cmek-only --env all
This enables the Cloud KMS API, creates the keyring + key, provisions the Secret Manager service agent, and grants it cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter on the key.
MANUAL GATE — 2nd-gen GitHub Connection:
After CMEK setup, the user must create GitHub connections in both GCP projects. This CANNOT be automated (requires browser OAuth).
Use AskUserQuestion: "CMEK keys are provisioned. Have you created the 2nd-gen GitHub connection in Cloud Build for both projects? You MUST select the encryption key during connection creation."
If NO, read and present the guide:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/cookbook/oauth-setup.md"
Present the Console URLs (read project IDs from config):
STAGE=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.id' .gcp-setup.yml)
PROD=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.id' .gcp-setup.yml)
echo "Stage: https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/repositories/2nd-gen?project=$STAGE"
echo "Prod: https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-build/repositories/2nd-gen?project=$PROD"
Steps:
- Open Console URL
- Click "Create Host Connection" -> GitHub
- Set Region from config
- Set Name from
github.connection_name - Encryption: Select the KMS key — do NOT skip this
- Click Connect -> Authorize Cloud Build GitHub App
- Link the repository
SECURITY WARNING: Do NOT skip the encryption key selection. Google-managed encryption is NOT acceptable. The connection stores GitHub OAuth tokens in Secret Manager — these must be encrypted with the customer-managed key for key rotation control and compliance.
Wait for user confirmation.
Run provision:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/provision.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml --env all
Note: The temporary
secretmanager.admingrant auto-expires in 20 minutes. No manual revocation needed.
Phase 3: Secrets Setup
Create secret shells:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/secrets.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml --action create --env all
AskUserQuestion: "How do you want to populate secrets?"
- Option A: From an existing .env file ->
--action populate --env-file /path/to/.env - Option B: Interactively (guided prompts)
Populate secrets:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/secrets.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml \
--action populate --env "$TARGET_ENV" --env-file "$ENV_FILE"
SECURITY WARNING: If populating both envs from the same .env, warn:
"OAuth credentials SHOULD differ per environment. Consider running
--env stagefirst, then--env prod --env-file /path/to/prod.env."
Phase 4: Authentication Configuration (Conditional)
Skip entirely when oauth.enabled is false in config.
Read oauth.mode from config (default: standalone).
Mode: IAP (recommended for internal tools)
When oauth.mode is iap, authentication is handled entirely by Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy. No OAuth clients, no redirect URIs, no custom auth code needed.
One-time project setup (first time enabling IAP in this GCP project):
Enable required APIs:
for PROJECT in "$STAGE_PROJECT" "$PROD_PROJECT"; do gcloud services enable iap.googleapis.com cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com --project="$PROJECT" doneConfigure Google Auth Platform (Console — one time per project):
- Go to Google Auth Platform > Branding in GCP Console
- Set app name, support email, authorized domain
- Go to Audience and set to configured consent type (default: Internal)
- Go to Data Access and add scopes:
openid,email,profile
AskUserQuestion gate:
- "Have you configured Google Auth Platform (Branding + Audience) in the GCP Console? This is a one-time step per project."
Per-service setup (automated — repeat for each app):
Enable IAP on Cloud Run services:
for PROJECT in "$STAGE_PROJECT" "$PROD_PROJECT"; do ENV_KEY=$( [ "$PROJECT" = "$STAGE_PROJECT" ] && echo stage || echo prod ) SERVICE_NAME=$(yq -r ".projects.${ENV_KEY}.service_name" "$CONFIG") # For existing services: gcloud beta run services update "$SERVICE_NAME" \ --region="$REGION" \ --iap \ --project="$PROJECT" # For new deploys, use: gcloud beta run deploy ... --iap --no-allow-unauthenticated doneNote:
services update --iapworks on already-deployed services. For first deploys, usegcloud beta run deploy ... --iap --no-allow-unauthenticatedor add these flags to the CloudBuild deploy step.Grant IAP service agent invoker permission:
for PROJECT in "$STAGE_PROJECT" "$PROD_PROJECT"; do ENV_KEY=$( [ "$PROJECT" = "$STAGE_PROJECT" ] && echo stage || echo prod ) SERVICE_NAME=$(yq -r ".projects.${ENV_KEY}.service_name" "$CONFIG") PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe "$PROJECT" --format='value(projectNumber)') gcloud run services add-iam-policy-binding "$SERVICE_NAME" \ --region="$REGION" \ --member="serviceAccount:service-${PROJECT_NUMBER}@gcp-sa-iap.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role="roles/run.invoker" \ --project="$PROJECT" doneRemove public access (if the service was previously public):
for PROJECT in "$STAGE_PROJECT" "$PROD_PROJECT"; do ENV_KEY=$( [ "$PROJECT" = "$STAGE_PROJECT" ] && echo stage || echo prod ) SERVICE_NAME=$(yq -r ".projects.${ENV_KEY}.service_name" "$CONFIG") gcloud run services remove-iam-policy-binding "$SERVICE_NAME" \ --region="$REGION" \ --member="allUsers" \ --role="roles/run.invoker" \ --project="$PROJECT" || true doneWarning: If
allUsershasroles/run.invoker, anyone can bypass IAP by calling the Cloud Run URL directly. Always remove public access when enabling IAP.Grant domain access:
DOMAIN=$(yq -r '.oauth.domain_restriction' "$CONFIG") for PROJECT in "$STAGE_PROJECT" "$PROD_PROJECT"; do ENV_KEY=$( [ "$PROJECT" = "$STAGE_PROJECT" ] && echo stage || echo prod ) SERVICE_NAME=$(yq -r ".projects.${ENV_KEY}.service_name" "$CONFIG") gcloud beta iap web add-iam-policy-binding \ --resource-type=cloud-run \ --service="$SERVICE_NAME" \ --region="$REGION" \ --member="domain:${DOMAIN}" \ --role="roles/iap.httpsResourceAccessor" \ --project="$PROJECT" doneRead the IAP cookbook:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/cookbook/iap-setup.md"Present IAP guidance to the user:
- IAP is now active. Users visiting the app will see Google's IAP login page.
- The app receives user identity via headers:
X-Goog-Authenticated-User-EmailandX-Goog-IAP-JWT-Assertion. - Future apps: just add
--iap --no-allow-unauthenticatedto the deploy command and run the IAM bindings above. No Console changes needed. - See
cookbook/iap-setup.mdfor header verification, service-to-service auth, and local development.
Note: When
oauth.modeisiap, OAuth secrets (oauth-client-id,oauth-client-secret) are NOT needed in the secrets manifest. Google manages the OAuth client internally. Onlysession-secretis needed if the app manages its own sessions.
Mode: Standalone (default)
When oauth.mode is standalone (or not set):
SECURITY WARNING — Display this to the user before proceeding:
The OAuth consent screen MUST be set to the configured consent type (default: "Internal"). If set to "Internal", this restricts authentication to the configured domain only. Do NOT select "External" unless required — doing so would allow ANY Google account to reach the OAuth flow. If you are unsure, stop and consult the team.
This sub-phase is entirely manual. The skill provides exact step-by-step guidance.
Compute deterministic Cloud Run URLs:
CONFIG=".gcp-setup.yml" STAGE=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.id' "$CONFIG") PROD=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.id' "$CONFIG") STAGE_SVC=$(yq -r '.projects.stage.service_name' "$CONFIG") PROD_SVC=$(yq -r '.projects.prod.service_name' "$CONFIG") REGION=$(yq -r '.region' "$CONFIG") STAGE_NUM=$(gcloud projects describe "$STAGE" --format="value(projectNumber)") PROD_NUM=$(gcloud projects describe "$PROD" --format="value(projectNumber)") echo "Stage URL: https://${STAGE_SVC}-${STAGE_NUM}.${REGION}.run.app" echo "Prod URL: https://${PROD_SVC}-${PROD_NUM}.${REGION}.run.app"Warning: Do NOT use
status.urlto get the service URL for OAuth configuration. It returns a legacy hash-based URL that differs from the deterministic format. Always compute deterministic URLs.Read the full OAuth guide:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/cookbook/oauth-setup.md"Present step-by-step with pre-computed URLs:
- Configure Google Auth Platform: Branding, Audience, Data Access
- Create per-environment OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
- Register callback URLs:
https://<cloud-run-url><callback_path from config> - Add authorized JavaScript origins
AskUserQuestion gates:
- "Have you configured Google Auth Platform (Audience set to configured consent type) in the GCP project?"
- "Have you created OAuth 2.0 Client IDs for each environment?"
- "Have you populated the oauth secrets via Phase 3?"
Mode: Auth-Proxy (Additional Steps)
When oauth.mode is auth-proxy, first complete ALL standalone steps above (the proxy itself needs OAuth registration), then:
Read the auth-proxy cookbook:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/cookbook/auth-proxy.md"Present auth-proxy guidance to the user:
- This app is the centralized auth service. The OAuth registration just completed is the ONLY registration needed.
- Future apps that need authentication will delegate to this proxy instead of registering with Google directly.
- The proxy must implement: Google OAuth flow, JWT signing with a shared secret,
return_urlallowlist validation, domain restriction. - Client apps must implement: redirect to proxy, JWT verification, session creation.
- Share the proxy URL with the team:
https://<proxy-service>-<project-num>.<region>.run.app - See
cookbook/auth-proxy.mdfor the complete architecture, implementation checklist, and client integration guide.
AskUserQuestion gate:
- "Have you reviewed the auth-proxy architecture in
cookbook/auth-proxy.md? This app will serve as the centralized auth service for future apps."
- "Have you reviewed the auth-proxy architecture in
Phase 5: Verification
Run full verification:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/verify.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml --env all
Interpret results:
- All PASS -> Setup complete. Present next steps (first deploy, PR workflow).
- Any FAIL -> Present remediation commands from verify.sh output.
- Re-run verify after remediation.
Post-Setup: First Deploy
After all phases pass, guide the user through the first deploy:
- Push a branch and open a PR
- Comment
/gcbrunon the PR to trigger stage build - Approve the build in Cloud Build console
- Wait for build + deploy
- Verify health check using configured endpoint
- If OAuth enabled: test authentication with configured domain account
- Merge PR to main for production deploy
Troubleshooting
If issues arise post-deploy, run diagnostics:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/tools/diagnose.sh" --config .gcp-setup.yml --env "$TARGET_ENV"
For detailed troubleshooting reference:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/cookbook/troubleshooting.md"
CI Setup: PR Template
To add the deploy checklist to PRs:
cat "$SKILL_DIR/assets/pr-template.md"
Copy this to .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, replacing ${STAGE_URL} and ${CB_CONSOLE_URL} with actual values.
