System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables secure SSH access to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) VMs and simplifies setting up port forwardings and tunnels, including IAP-based access for instances without external IPs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH into GCP VMs using gcloud or direct SSH commands.
  • Establish local port forwards or tunnels (e.g., 8080:localhost:8080) for web apps, dev servers, or SSH sessions.
  • Use IAP tunnels when external IPs are unavailable or restricted, enabling remote access from a secure channel.

Quick Start

Use the gcp-vm-ssh skill to generate an SSH command for a VM and to configure a tunnel.

  • List VMs: gcloud compute instances list
  • SSH into a VM: gcloud compute ssh VM_NAME --zone=ZONE --project=PROJECT_ID
  • Tunnel a local port: gcloud compute ssh VM_NAME --zone=ZONE -- -L 8080:localhost:8080
