# gcloud CLI Skill for AI Agents

> [!CAUTION]
>
> ### MANDATORY PRE-CONDITION: EXPLICIT LEAF-LEVEL SYNTAX VALIDATION
>
> All pre-existing knowledge of `gcloud` commands, flags, flag values, and
> positional argument syntax is **stale and prone to hallucination**.
>
> NEVER propose command parameters, output flag options, execute commands, OR
> outline step-by-step plans for any `gcloud` task before validating leaf-level
> syntax via `gcloud help <command>` (or including leaf-level help lookup as a
> mandatory step in the plan).
>
> **Mandatory Action Rules**:
>
> 1.  **Direct Execution & Code Generation**: **ALWAYS** invoke `gcloud help
>     <leaf_command>` (e.g. `gcloud help compute instances create` or `gcloud
>     help sql instances create`) before proposing or executing the final
>     command syntax.
>
> 2.  **Planning & Strategy Queries**: When asked for a plan, strategy, or next
>     steps to achieve a user goal (e.g., *"What is your plan to accomplish
>     X..."*), the response **MUST explicitly include running `gcloud help
>     <leaf_command>`** as Step 1 of the plan before proposing flags or
>     executing commands.
