Google Cloud Platform

What this skill does

Manage Google Cloud Platform resources via gcloud CLI. Use for Compute Engine VMs, Cloud Run services, Firebase Hosting, Cloud Storage, and project management. Covers deployment, monitoring, logs, and SSH access.

Google Cloud Platform is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Google Cloud Platform

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for gcloud and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Google Cloud Platform with a single command:

openclaw skills add gcloud

This pulls gcloud from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/gcloud/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Google Cloud Platform

Once installed, Google Cloud Platform activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab gcloud-1.0.1.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/gcloud/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
