Cloud Trace Skill

Manage and analyze Google Cloud Trace using gcloud trace and monitoring commands.

Discovery-First Rule

ALWAYS discover before acting. Never assume trace IDs, span names, or service names. Discover available traces and services first.

# Discover recent traces
gcloud trace traces list --limit=20 --format=json \
  | jq '[.[] | {traceId: .traceId, projectId: .projectId, spans: [.spans[:3][] | {spanId: .spanId, name: .name, startTime: .startTime, endTime: .endTime}]}]'

Parallel Execution Requirement

ALL independent operations MUST run in parallel using background jobs (&) and wait.
