Skill Registry

This skill provides instructions for interacting with the Skill Registry on

the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Core Capabilities

  • Skill Discovery - Query the registry to easily search, list, get

specific skills, and inspect revision histories.

  • Skill Lifecycle Management - Upload, update, or permanently delete

skills.

  • Operation Monitoring - Utility to check the completion status of

long-running state changes (LROs).

  • Generate Skill - Automate the initial scaffolding of new agent skills

locally.

Core Directives

  • Mandatory Validation: ALWAYS execute the environment validation check

before performing any operations.

Before any operation, you must validate the core environment.

    # Execute the validation script
    python3 scripts/validate_env.py

Prerequisites & Authentication

Library & Authentication

Ensure you have the latest Google Cloud credentials and libraries installed.

# Install required libraries
pip install google-auth requests

# Authenticate with Google Cloud
gcloud auth application-default login

Environment Variables

The following variables are required for operations:

  • GCP_PROJECT_ID: Your Google Cloud Project ID.
  • GCP_LOCATION: The region (e.g., us-central1).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quickstart

Quickly search for available skills in the registry:

python3 scripts/skill_registry_ops.py search \
  --query "test skill" \
  --top-k 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operations

  • Skill Discovery: query-skills.md
  • Skill Lifecycle: manage-skills.md
  • Monitor Operations:

monitor-operations.md

  • Generate Skill: generate-skill.md

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take google/agent-platform-skill-registry from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
