Kcc Direct Greenfield Types Implementer

KCC Direct Greenfield Types Implementer

This skill guides the initial scaffolding of new (greenfield) KCC "direct" resources, ensuring standardized CRD generation and adherence to project-wide validation patterns.

Prerequisites

You must also apply the standards from the base skill: .gemini/skills/kcc-direct-base-types-implementer/SKILL.md.

Inputs

• service: The Google API service name (e.g., google.cloud.aiplatform.v1).
• resource: The mapping of KCC Kind to GCP Resource (e.g., VertexAIExampleStore:ExampleStore).
• api_version: The KCC API version (default: v1alpha1).

Workflow

1. Add to generate.sh

Locate apis/<service_short>/generate.sh. If it doesn't exist, create it following the standard KCC template:

CONTROLLERBUILDER="${CONTROLLERBUILDER:-}"
if [[ -z "${CONTROLLERBUILDER}" ]]; then
  if [[ -x "${REPO_ROOT}/bin/controllerbuilder" ]]; then
    CONTROLLERBUILDER="${REPO_ROOT}/bin/controllerbuilder"

    CONTROLLERBUILDER="go run ${REPO_ROOT}/dev/tools/controllerbuilder"
  fi
fi
source "${REPO_ROOT}/dev/tools/goimports.sh"
cd ${REPO_ROOT}/dev/tools/controllerbuilder
# Note: generate-proto.sh reuses cached .build/googleapis-<SHA>.pb files by default.
# Pass --force (or FORCE_GENERATE_PROTOS=1) to force re-compiling proto descriptors when testing proto edits:
./generate-proto.sh

${CONTROLLERBUILDER} generate-types \
  --service <service> \
  --api-version <group>.cnrm.cloud.google.com/<api_version> \
  --resource <resource>

2. Generate Types

Set executable permissions and run the generate.sh script:

chmod +x apis/<service_short>/generate.sh
./apis/<service_short>/generate.sh

3. Validate and Enhance Output

Apply the baseline validations from kcc-direct-base-types-implementer, plus these greenfield-specific rules:

• Stability Level: Add // +kubebuilder:metadata:labels="cnrm.cloud.google.com/stability-level=alpha".
• Field Validation: Manually add or verify kubebuilder tags:
  • Use // +kubebuilder:validation:Required for fields that are mandatory in the GCP API.
  • Use // +kubebuilder:validation:Optional for all other fields.
• Enums:
  • Use *string for the Go type of proto enum fields (do NOT use custom wrapped string types).
  • Use // +kubebuilder:validation:Enum=VALUE1;VALUE2 to provide validation in the CRD while keeping the Go type simple.

4. Journaling

Append any quirks about the proto-to-struct mapping (e.g., field name collisions) to .gemini/journals/<service>.md using the format described in the kcc-agentic-journaler skill.
