Interactive daily standup/meeting update generator. Use when user says 'daily', 'standup', 'scrum update', 'status update', 'what did I do yesterday', 'prepare for meeting', 'morning update', or 'team sync'. Pulls activity from GitHub, Jira, and Claude Code session history. Conducts 4-question interview (yesterday, today, blockers, discussion topics) and generates formatted Markdown update.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.
draw.io diagram creation, editing, and review. Use for .drawio XML editing, PNG conversion, layout adjustment, and AWS icon usage.
Generate memes using the memegen.link API. Use when users request memes, want to add humor to content, or need visual aids for social media. Supports 100+ popular templates with custom text and styling.
Create and manage Claude Code plugins with proper structure, manifests, and marketplace integration. Use when creating plugins for a marketplace, adding plugin components (commands, agents, hooks), bumping plugin versions, or working with plugin.json/marketplace.json manifests.
Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is a managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service designed for enterprise-grade performance and availability. It utilizes a disaggregated compute and storage architecture to scale resources independently. It also provides AlloyDB AI, a collection of features that includes AI-powered search (vector, hybrid search, and AI functions), natural language capabilities, conversational analytics, and inference features like forecasting and model endpoint management to help developers build AI apps faster.
Enable the AlloyDB API:
gcloud services enable alloydb.googleapis.com
Create a Cluster:
gcloud alloydb clusters create my-cluster --region=us-central1 \
--password=my-password --network=my-vpc
Note: For production, we recommend using IAM database authentication instead of passwords. If passwords must be used, use secure secret management (e.g., Secret Manager) instead of passing passwords in cleartext.
Create a Primary Instance:
gcloud alloydb instances create my-primary --cluster=my-cluster \
--region=us-central1 --instance-type=PRIMARY --cpu-count=2
Core Concepts: Architecture, disaggregated storage, and performance features.
CLI Usage: Essential gcloud alloydb commands
for cluster and instance management.
Client Libraries & Connectors: Connecting to AlloyDB using Python, Java, Node.js, and Go.
MCP Usage: Using the AlloyDB remote MCP server and Gemini CLI extension.
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform configuration and deployment examples.
IAM & Security: Predefined roles, service agents, and database authentication.
