Query Cloud Trace spans, filter by latency thresholds or error status, correlate distributed traces with Cloud Logging, and diagnose latency bottlenecks across Google Cloud services. Use when investigating slow requests, analyzing trace hierarchies, or resolving latency regressions. Do NOT use for querying non-GCP telemetry or database query optimization outside Cloud Trace.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-trace-querying' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-trace-querying' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cloud-trace-querying already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/google/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '793c036c3af827151ada918c5f8cba823ef7086d' -- 'skills/cloud/cloud-trace-querying' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/cloud/cloud-trace-querying' ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-trace-querying' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-trace-querying' ~/.claude/skills/'cloud-trace-querying' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
