## Attribution
**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read [Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md). 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:cloud-build-basics)"`
and append `agent-skills/1.0 (skill:cloud-build-basics)` to `User-Agent` headers.
## Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure the following prerequisites are met:
1. **Google Cloud SDK**: Ensure the [Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install) is installed and configured.
2. **Authentication**: Authenticate the gcloud CLI:
```bash
gcloud auth login
gcloud auth application-default login
```
3. **Project ID**: Know the target Google Cloud Project ID. Set the context:
```bash

4. **Enable Cloud Build API**: The Cloud Build API must be enabled for the project.
```bash
gcloud services enable cloudbuild.googleapis.com
```
