Don't use for alert triage (use secops-triage), deep forensic event reconstruction on infected hosts (use secops-investigate), or case management operations (use secops-cases).
google/skillssecops-hunt
Expert guidance for proactive threat hunting in Google SecOps. Use when proactively hunting for threats, retroactively analyzing indicators of compromise (IoCs), performing prevalence searches across enterprise events, hunting for MITRE ATT&CK techniques, or detecting behavioral and statistical outliers using UDM queries. Don't use for incoming alert triage (use secops-triage), active incident response and timeline deep-dives on a known breach (use secops-investigate), or detection rule authoring (use secops-detection-engineering).
google/skillssecops-investigate
Expert guidance for deep security incident and entity investigations in Google SecOps. Use when investigating cases, analyzing entities (hosts, IPs, domains, hashes, users), extracting and searching UDM events, performing asset and user timeline analysis, and detecting lateral movement across enterprise networks. Don't use for detection rule authoring or YARA-L tuning (use secops-detection-engineering), proactive hypothesis-driven hunting (use secops-hunt), initial alert triage (use secops-triage), or basic case status updates (use secops-cases).
google/skillssecops-triage
Expert guidance for security alert triage in Google SecOps. Use when investigating and triaging security alerts, determining false positives vs. true positives, assessing entity risk, adjusting alert severity or priority, and closing or escalating alerts and cases. Don't use for deep multi-hop incident investigations across host timelines (use secops-investigate), proactive threat hunting or retroactive IoC sweeps (use secops-hunt), or authoring new detection rules (use secops-detection-engineering).
google/skillsspanner-basics
Assists in provisioning instances and databases, designing performant schemas, and querying data in Spanner. Use when designing primary keys, writing SQL queries or client library code, or diagnosing performance issues.
google/skillsworkload-manager-basics
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.
google/skillsfinding-google-skills
Google platform decision and setup guidance, loaded on demand from Google's skill catalog. Use when a developer is choosing or setting up part of their stack, such as where to run a service, a database, storage, messaging, authentication, analytics, ads, or AI model serving, and a Google product is a reasonable candidate - whether or not a vendor is named - or when a request names a Google product or API. Brings in the matching Google skill so the answer can weigh Google options, their trade-offs, and when they are not the right fit. Skip when the stack is already settled on another provider and no Google product is named, or the task involves no platform choice.
google/skillsretrieving-developer-knowledge
Searches, retrieves, and synthesizes official Google developer documentation across Google Cloud, AI/Gemini, Android, Chrome, Web, Flutter, Go, Firebase, and other Google developer platforms. Integrates with the Developer Knowledge MCP server (search_documents, get_documents, answer_query) or the Developer Knowledge REST API fallback. Use when searching for gcloud CLI commands, API syntax, IAM permissions, official documentation, architectural comparisons, or product choice overviews. Don't use for local filesystem lookups or non-Google documentation.
google/skillsdpop-adoption
Implement and debug OAuth 2.0 DPoP (RFC 9449) refresh token sender-constraining for WebCrypto, Node.js ES6, and browser runtimes integrating with Google's OAuth platform. Use when configuring non-extractable asymmetric key pairs (P-256), generating DPoP Proof JWTs for authorization code exchange and token refresh, or handling 400 use_dpop_nonce challenge retry loops at oauth2.googleapis.com/token. Don't use for unconstrained OAuth 2.0 flows (where refresh tokens are not bound to a client key pair), or for Google Cloud IAM / service account authentication.
