Agent Platform Skill Registry

Skill Registry

This skill provides instructions for interacting with the Skill Registry on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Attribution

MUST READ: Before executing any gcloud, REST API, or MCP command, you MUST read Usage Attribution. For commands executed directly in the terminal (never in generated scripts, Terraform, or user code), prefix gcloud with CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:agent-platform-skill-registry)" and append agent-skills/1.0 (skill:agent-platform-skill-registry) to User-Agent headers.

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
