Guides deployment of Race Condition to a GCP project. An agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition.

  • Works in 6 steps: prerequisites check → feature selection → infrastructure provisioning → …
  • Deploying to the cloud
  • SKILL.md covers Phase 1: prerequisites check, Phase 2: feature selection, Phase 3: infrastructure… and Phase 4: application deployment, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls gcloud, make and terraform; reaches aiplatform.googleapis.com

What it does

Deploying is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition. Guides deployment of Race Condition to a GCP project. Use when deploying to the cloud, setting up infrastructure with Terraform, or troubleshooting a deployment. This is for cloud deployment -- for local development, use the getting-started skill instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Infrastructure as code, Async programming and Deployment. It works with Google Cloud, Terraform, Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine. The repository describes itself as: The open source multi-agent simulation from the Developer Keynote at Google Cloud Next '26. A deployable reference architecture for autonomous AI agents using Gemini and ADK.

When your agent uses it

  • Deploying to the cloud
  • Setting up infrastructure with Terraform
  • Troubleshooting a deployment

Example prompts

  • “Use the deploying skill to guide deployment of Race Condition to a GCP project. An agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition”
  • “/deploying”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. prerequisites check
  2. feature selection
  3. infrastructure provisioning
  4. application deployment
  5. post-deploy verification
  6. optional post-deploy steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26efc1b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gcloud
    • make
    • terraform
    • bash
    • curl
    • python3
    • docker
    • uv
    • kubectl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • aiplatform.googleapis.com

    Also links to:

    • cloud.google.com
    • developer.hashicorp.com
    • docs.docker.com
    • docs.astral.sh

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deploying loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,257 words (~3,039 tokens).

“This skill walks through a cloud deploy of Race Condition to a GCP project: Terraform for the infra, Cloud Run and Agent Engine for the app, then a verification pass once it's up. The phases are gated. If a phase…”
