**Google Cloud Skills Boost Helper** is a community browser extension for learners using Google Cloud Skills Boost. It turns public profile data into a clearer progress dashboard, estimates Arcade points, manages multiple profiles, and adds convenient search and solution actions to supported lab pages.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Make the Skills Boost profile public">
    Google Cloud Skills Boost Helper reads information from a public profile URL such as `https://www.skills.google/public_profiles/xxxxx`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the profile to the extension">
    The extension loads the public name, badges, achievements, and activity used by its progress calculations.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Refresh and review progress">
    Update the account when new badges are earned, switch between saved profiles, and use the lab-page shortcuts while learning.
  </Step>
</Steps>
