Cloud Setup

Handles the authentication dance for Elastic Cloud by guiding you through API key setup and environment configuration. It walks through verification, sets sensible defaults like gcp-us-central1 as the region, and validates the connection before other cloud skills run. The security hygiene is solid: it explicitly refuses to handle secrets in chat and pushes you toward .env files or proper secret managers. Worth noting that only Organization owners can create the API keys it needs, and it requires Project Admin privileges or higher. If you're working with any of the other elastic cloud skills, you'll need to run this first to get authenticated.
