agent-platform-prompt-management has your assistant run short Python snippets with the vertexai SDK to list prompts, get one by ID or version, create a new one, or delete one. Listing and reading need no confirmation. Creating needs a Yes or No card showing the name, model and template, and deleting needs a typed confirmation in a separate turn. It needs gcloud sign-in and the google-cloud-aiplatform and google-genai packages, and it lives in Google's own google/skills repo.
Good for
- Teams that store prompts as managed resources in Agent Platform
- Developers who want to look up a prompt or fill its variables from the chat
- Anyone who wants typed confirmation before a prompt is deleted

Start a new session; the skill loads when its description matches the task.
Requires gcloud CLI, Python 3.
Run gcloud auth login and gcloud auth application-default login before use. SKILL.md installs google-cloud-aiplatform and google-genai with pip only if python3 -c "import vertexai, google.genai" fails.
Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

What it includes
Prints each prompt name and ID
Runs prompts.list() through vertexai.preview. No confirmation needed.
Try: “List the prompts in project my-proj, region us-central1.”
Runs code ·
List prompts (Tier R)Gets a prompt, optionally a version, and fills its variables
Runs prompts.get and assemble_contents. No confirmation needed.
Runs code ·
Retrieve a prompt (Tier R)Creates a managed prompt and its first version
Needs a Yes/No card with display name, template text and target model first. The card is shown in one turn and the code runs only after your reply. The model must come from you, not a default.
Runs code ·
Create a prompt (Tier M)Deletes by numeric prompt ID after typed confirmation
Permanent. The assistant asks for typed confirmation such as "I confirm", waits for your next turn, then runs the delete. When you ask it to check, it lists prompts and states whether the ID is gone.
Delete ·
Delete a prompt (Tier D)gcloud login and a Python package probe
Asks you to run gcloud auth login and gcloud auth application-default login, and installs google-cloud-aiplatform and google-genai only if the import check fails.

Watch out for
Deleting a prompt is permanent
SKILL.md puts delete in the highest tier: it asks for typed confirmation in a separate turn. Type the confirmation only when the ID on the card is the one you mean. github.com
It may install two Python packages
If the import check fails it runs pip install google-cloud-aiplatform google-genai. It tells the assistant not to create a virtual environment. github.com
It uses your application-default credentials
SKILL.md asks you to run gcloud auth application-default login, and the SDK then acts with that sign-in on the project you name. github.com

Questions
What does agent-platform-prompt-management do?
It lets your assistant manage prompts stored in Google Cloud's Agent Platform: list, get (with versions), create and delete. It does this by running Python with the vertexai SDK.
How do I install it?
Use the install box at the top for Claude Code, Codex or the skills CLI. Then run gcloud auth login and gcloud auth application-default login. The box has no Claude app upload because the skill runs Python and gcloud on your machine.
Is this an official Google skill?
It is in Google's own google/skills repo. The repo README does not name an individual author for this skill.
Will it delete prompts without asking?
SKILL.md says no: it must ask for typed confirmation and wait for your reply in a new turn before it runs the delete. Create needs a Yes/No card first.
Which model does it use for a new prompt?
Whichever you name. SKILL.md says the target model is your choice and the assistant must ask if you did not give one.
What does it not cover?
The description excludes model training, deploying models to endpoints, and prompts outside Agent Platform.
Is it safe?
It can create and permanently delete prompts in your Google Cloud project, but its confirmation tiers put a check before each change. Use a test project first and read the card. See the permissions section.
