What it does
Getting Started is an agent skill from GoogleCloudPlatform/race-condition. Guides setup of the Race Condition project from clone to running simulation. Use when the developer wants to get the project running locally, install dependencies, configure GCP credentials, or troubleshoot startup issues.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Development, covering Async programming. It works with Google Cloud, Google Maps Platform, Docker and Python. 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
- The developer wants to get the project running locally
- Install dependencies
- Configure GCP credentials
- Troubleshoot startup issues
Example prompts
- “Use the getting-started skill to guide setup of the Race Condition project from clone to running simulation”
- “/getting-started”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
- Docker
- A credential in GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clone the repo (AUTO)
- GCP authentication (MANUAL)
- Enable required APIs (AUTO)
- Initialize the project (AUTO)
- Configure .env (AUTO)
- Start the simulation (AUTO)
- Google Maps API key (MANUAL, optional)
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:
makegclouduvgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
go.devdocs.astral.shnodejs.orgdocs.docker.comcloud.google.comconsole.cloud.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Getting Started loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:75
This checks prerequisites, creates `.env` from `.env.example`, installs Python - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:79
### Step 5: Configure .env (AUTO) - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:85

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 399 words (~1,037 tokens).
“This skill walks through setting up Race Condition for local development. Some steps are fully automatable (installing dependencies, building code). Others require the developer to act in a browser or terminal (GCP auth, API key creation). Each step is marked…”
