SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Loading every Google product skill upfront wastes context and budget. This Skill fetches a remote catalog index on demand and routes each request to only the Google skills that actually apply, keeping context usage near zero until a lookup happens. ## Core Features & Use Cases - On-Demand Catalog Lookup: Retrieves the published Google skills index from GitHub via curl, wget, Node, or PowerShell, with filtering techniques (jq, grep) to handle the large JSON file. - Description-Based Routing: Matches the request against skill descriptions, shortlists at most three candidates, and fetches only their entrypoints. - Failure Handling: Defines a strict fallback chain (retry, GitHub tree API listing, honest disclosure) and forbids insecure retries like disabling certificate verification. - Use Case: A user asks how to deploy a container to Cloud Run. The Skill fetches the catalog, finds the Cloud Run skill entry, loads its entrypoint, and follows those instructions. ## Quick Start Find and load the right Google skill for my question about deploying an app to Google Cloud Run.

Frequently Asked Questions about finding-google-skills

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the right Google skill for a Cloud or API request?▼

Fetch the catalog index from the google/skills GitHub repository, filter entries by keyword against their descriptions, and shortlist at most three matches. Then fetch only those entrypoint URLs and follow the loaded skill's instructions.

How do I filter a large JSON catalog with curl and jq?▼

Pipe the curl output into jq with a test filter on name and description, printing matching names and entrypoints. Alternatively, save the catalog to a local file and read it in parts to avoid truncated tool results.

What happens when the Google skills catalog fetch fails?▼

Retry once with curl -sSL, then list the repository tree via the GitHub API and fetch candidate SKILL.md paths directly. If both fail, state plainly in the reply that the catalog was unreachable and answer without it.

Can I reuse a previously fetched skills catalog in a later session?▼

No. The catalog may be reused within the same session but must never be carried into a later run, since it changes regularly and a stored copy goes stale silently.

Is it safe to bypass certificate errors when fetching the catalog?▼

No. A certificate failure is final and must never be retried with verification disabled, such as curl -k or SkipCertificateCheck. An unverified catalog is treated as worse than no catalog at all.
