| name | cloud-sql-postgres-lifecycle |
| description | Use these skills when you need to manage the lifecycle of your instances, including performing backups and restores, checking major version upgrade compatibility, and monitoring overall instance status. |
Usage
All scripts can be executed using Node.js. Replace <param_name> and <param_value> with actual values.
Bash:
node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{"<param_name>": "<param_value>"}'
PowerShell:
node <skill_dir>/scripts/<script_name>.js '{\"<param_name>\": \"<param_value>\"}'
Note: The scripts automatically load the environment variables from various .env files. Do not ask the user to set vars unless skill executions fails due to env var absence.
