What it does

Once installed, the agent can help create, list, inspect, update and delete Google Cloud Assured Workloads V1 folders, which are compliance-controlled environments for regimes such as FedRAMP, DoD IL levels, ITAR, CJIS, healthcare, and regional data boundaries. It follows a checklist: verify prerequisites and IDs, validate parameters with a bundled script, ask for your confirmation before any change, then run gcloud or Python client commands. Helper scripts also diagnose common errors and manage configuration updates.

Great for

  • Cloud engineers setting up compliant Google Cloud environments for government or regulated workloads
  • Teams needing a guided, confirmation-based workflow for Assured Workloads operations
  • Administrators who need to list or inspect existing Assured Workloads workloads

Skip it if

  • Brownfield assessments or custom compliance frameworks, which the skill says should use other skills instead
  • Non-Google Cloud environments or non-compliant folders, since the skill is scoped to Assured Workloads V1
  • Users without organization-level IAM roles and billing access, because creation will fail and mutating actions carry real cost and compliance consequences

Try asking

  • “Create a FedRAMP Moderate Assured Workloads folder in us-central1 under my organization”
  • “List all Assured Workloads workloads in my organization's europe-west location”
  • “Diagnose why my Assured Workloads create operation failed with an ERROR_CODE message”
  • “Show available configuration updates for my existing workload and apply them after I confirm”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Always review the validation output and the exact gcloud command before confirming a create, update or delete, since these change live cloud resources.
  • Provide your organization, billing account and folder IDs yourself; the skill is designed not to guess them.
  • Use a test organization or sandbox project first to learn the workflow before applying it to production compliance folders.
