Deploy any static site directory to Google Cloud (Firebase Hosting) using your local CLI.
Use this skill whenever the user wants to deploy, host, or publish a static website to GCP/Firebase.
Triggers on "deploy this to GCP," "host on Google Cloud," "publish to Firebase," "deploy to GCP/Firebase," or any request to host a local static site on Google infrastructure.
Works with single HTML files, multi-file projects, and asset-heavy directories.
Requires the Firebase CLI (`firebase-tools`) to be installed and authenticated locally.

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.
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.
