Deployment operations

Use this sub-skill when the user is turning an Agent Starter Pack project into a deployable, observable, or registered cloud asset.

Covers

• setup-cicd and its Terraform/runner setup.
• Generated-project deployment commands such as make setup-dev-env, make setup-datastore, make deploy, make data-ingestion, make sync-data, make register-gemini-enterprise, make inspector, and the related local-development targets.
• Data ingestion, observability, and Gemini Enterprise registration guidance.
• Cloud-provider prerequisites such as GitHub CLI, gcloud, Terraform, repository ownership, and generated deployment metadata.

Excludes

• New-project template selection belongs in project-scaffolding.
• In-place project edits and upgrades belong in project-maintenance.

Read first

• ../../references/cli-reference.md for command routing.
• ../../references/package-overview.md for install and sanity-check guidance.
• references/workflows.md for the end-to-end deployment flow.
• references/ci-cd-reference.md for setup-cicd details.
• references/generated-project-commands.md for the generated Makefile command map.
• references/data-ingestion.md for RAG and datastore setup.
• references/observability.md for telemetry and BigQuery analytics.
• references/gemini-enterprise.md for registration flows.
• references/troubleshooting.md for cloud and auth failures.

Common workflow

1. Confirm whether the user is asking about a generated project, not the source package itself.
2. Decide whether the task is CI/CD bootstrap, runtime deployment, data ingestion, observability, or Gemini Enterprise registration.
3. Check the relevant generated-project command or cloud prerequisite before suggesting a fix.
4. Use the sub-reference pages to explain the concrete command sequence and likely failure points.
5. Route project-generation questions back to project-scaffolding and project-maintenance questions back to project-maintenance.

Useful signals

• setup-cicd, Terraform, Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, gcloud, gh, local-state
• make deploy, make setup-dev-env, make data-ingestion, make sync-data, make inspector, make register-gemini-enterprise
• agent_engine, cloud_run, gke, deployment_metadata.json, agent card, Gemini Enterprise
• vertex_ai_search, vertex_ai_vector_search, telemetry, Cloud Trace, BigQuery analytics, observability

Validation mindset

• Do not claim cloud readiness from package importability alone.
• Distinguish local command discovery from live cloud provisioning.
• Keep destructive cleanup, live-deployment, and credentialed operations out of the default path unless the user explicitly asks for them.
