System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Many cld subcommands that interact with Google Cloud fail or behave incorrectly in a sandboxed devbox environment because the CLOUDSDK_PROXY_TYPE is set to https by default. This Skill fixes the proxy setting to enable GCP-accessing cld operations while preserving normal behavior for non-GCP tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic GCP proxy correction: Prefixes cld invocations that require GCP access with CLOUDSDK_PROXY_TYPE=http to ensure connectivity.
  • Selective execution: Applies the proxy fix only to commands that need GCP (db query, db connect, db migrate apply, db proxy, ssh) and runs other development commands unchanged (tests, lint, generate, build).
  • Developer workflows: Useful for inspecting production/dev databases in read-only mode, running migrations, starting Cloud SQL Proxy, performing SSH into instances, and running local test/lint/generate tasks.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the desired cld subcommand and prefix it with CLOUDSDK_PROXY_TYPE=http when the operation requires Google Cloud access, otherwise run cld normally.
