What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(gcloud:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gcloud

    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):

    • cloud.google.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cloud Tasks Queue Setup loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Cloud Tasks Queue Setup

Overview

Create and configure Google Cloud Tasks queues for reliable asynchronous task execution. Covers queue creation with rate limiting and retry policies, HTTP and App Engine task targets, task dispatching with scheduling delays, and queue management operations (pause, resume, purge).

Prerequisites

  • Google Cloud project with Cloud Tasks API enabled (gcloud services enable cloudtasks.googleapis.com)
  • gcloud CLI authenticated with roles/cloudtasks.admin or roles/cloudtasks.enqueuer IAM role
  • Target HTTP endpoint or App Engine service to receive dispatched tasks
  • Service account with appropriate permissions for task execution

Instructions

  1. Create a Cloud Tasks queue with rate limiting: gcloud tasks queues create <queue-name> --location=<region> --max-dispatches-per-second=10 --max-concurrent-dispatches=5
  2. Configure retry policy for failed tasks: gcloud tasks queues update <queue-name> --max-attempts=5 --min-backoff=1s --max-backoff=300s --max-doublings=4
  3. Create an HTTP task targeting your endpoint: gcloud tasks create-http-task --queue=<queue-name> --url=https://your-service.run.app/process --method=POST --body-content='<json-payload>'
  4. Schedule a delayed task by adding --schedule-time with an ISO 8601 timestamp up to 30 days in the future
  5. Verify queue status and task counts: gcloud tasks queues describe <queue-name> to check dispatch rate, retry config, and queue state
  6. Manage queue operations: pause (gcloud tasks queues pause), resume (gcloud tasks queues resume), or purge all tasks (gcloud tasks queues purge)

Examples

Setting up an email processing queue: Create a queue with 5 dispatches per second rate limit and 3 max concurrent tasks to avoid overwhelming the email service. Configure retry with exponential backoff (1s min, 60s max, 3 doublings) and 10 max attempts for transient failures.

Scheduling delayed webhook callbacks: Create HTTP tasks with a 15-minute schedule delay to implement webhook retries. Each task POSTs to the callback URL with the original event payload and includes an OIDC token for authentication.

Output

  • Cloud Tasks queue created with rate limiting and retry configuration
  • Task creation commands for HTTP and App Engine targets
  • Queue management commands for operational control

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Queue already existsQueue name taken in the specified regionUse gcloud tasks queues describe to check existing config; update if needed
PERMISSION_DENIED on task creationService account lacks cloudtasks.tasks.create permissionGrant roles/cloudtasks.enqueuer to the service account
Task handler returns 5xxTarget endpoint failed to process the taskTasks auto-retry per queue retry policy; check handler logs for root cause
Rate limit exceededDispatch rate exceeds queue configurationIncrease max-dispatches-per-second or reduce task creation rate
