About this skill

GCP/Firebase Deploy

Deploy any static site directory to Google Cloud via Firebase Hosting. Firebase Hosting provides professional-grade static asset hosting with a global CDN and free SSL.

When to use

  • User explicitly requests GCP or Firebase hosting
  • User already has a Firebase project and is logged in via firebase login
  • User wants free hosting with a global CDN and SSL out of the box
  • No practical file size limit (2GB per file) — suitable for large scroll-sequence sites

For quick deploys without any account, use vercel-deploy instead. For AWS-native workflows with CloudFormation teardown, use aws-deploy.

Workflow

1. Identify the directory

The user provides a path to a directory containing static files. If they don't specify one, look for the most recently generated project.

The directory must contain an index.html at the root. If there's a single .html file with a different name, the deploy script will rename it automatically.

2. Check Prerequisites

The skill requires the Firebase CLI to be installed and authenticated. The deploy script auto-installs firebase-tools via npm if missing, but the user must be logged in.

If the script reports an authentication error, tell the user to run firebase login.

3. Deploy

Run the deploy script:

bash <skill-path>/scripts/deploy.sh <directory> [project-id]

The project-id is required on the first deploy if no .firebaserc exists in the directory. The user can find available projects with firebase projects:list.

The script:

  • Ensures index.html exists
  • Scaffolds firebase.json and .firebaserc if missing (cleans them up on failure)
  • Runs firebase deploy --only hosting
  • Returns JSON with hostingUrl and projectId

4. Present results

Tell the user:

  • Hosting URL: The live site URL (e.g., https://your-project.web.app)
  • Project ID: The GCP/Firebase project used for deployment

If the deploy fails, check:

  • Is the user logged in (firebase login)?
  • Is the project-id valid and does the user have permissions?
  • Is index.html present?
  • Does npm exist (needed for auto-install of firebase-tools)?

5. Cleanup

To remove a deployment and stop hosting:

firebase hosting:disable --project <project-id>

To delete the Firebase project entirely, use the Firebase Console.
