LocalAgentic CI with LocalCloud
- LocalCloud jobs should fail closed on missing health or env vars.
- Do not mix local emulator checks with deployment secrets.
Glossary
Agentic CI
A CI workflow where an AI agent helps create or maintain validation steps, while the actual job remains deterministic, reviewable, and bounded.
Copy-ready setup
Commands and prompts
Copy a prompt for your coding agent
Start LocalCloud
Give an agent one URL and have it start the local GCP sandbox.
Fetch https://local.cloud/ai/agents.md and follow the instructions to start LocalCloud on my machine. Install the LocalCloud CLI if it is missing, verify Docker, start or reuse LocalCloud, export emulator environment variables, and run one local GCP SDK/API smoke check. Do not ask for or use real GCP credentials.Before production
Use LocalCloud for non-production development, testing, and CI under the Public Preview License, check each service's local boundaries, and validate against real Google Cloud before you deploy.
