gcloud-vm

gcloud-vm is a Cloud platforms skill for AI agents, published by nubjs in the nub repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates gcloud-vm F (15/100) and the safety scan rated it unsafe; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Provision, start, reach, and use Google Cloud VMs for nub — for any real-OS work the local macOS host and Docker can't do (real Linux-kernel enforcement, real Windows/AppContainer/MSVC, a clean multi-GB build box). Invoke whenever you think "I need a Linux box" or "I need a Windows box" — you can START the existing `nub-linux`/`nub-win` instances OR CREATE a fresh one on demand with `gcloud compute instances create`. Encodes the load-bearing gotchas: IPs change on every restart (never trust a hardcoded one), SSH user is `nub` with key `~/.ssh/nub-vm`, a RUNNING box can be a wedged box (read the serial console), size any nub-building Linux box at ≥16 GB, and prefer cross-compiling on the Mac + scp'ing the artifact over building on the VM. AUTH IS NOT A BLOCKER — `gcloud` USER auth expires constantly (org session-control revokes the refresh token), but a durable SERVICE-ACCOUNT KEY makes every VM op work non-interactively: prefix any command with…
