googlegoogle/agents-cli

PurposeA skill set and CLI that turns coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) into experts for building, evaluating, deploying, and observing enterprise agents on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform using ADK. It provides seven composable skills covering the full lifecycle (workflow, scaffold, ADK code, eval, deploy, publish, observability). Agents auto-load relevant skills by context; users may also run CLI commands directly. Ideal for teams wanting agent-assisted, end-to-end Google Cloud agent development without learning every service.

Core Idea

Principles & Methodology

The author's design philosophy, what sets this apart from peer projects, and quick notes on the key workflows. Skill names mentioned in the text auto-link to their detail pages.

Core Idea

agents-cli is a tool for coding agents (not a coding agent itself) that equips them with skills and CLI commands to build, evaluate, deploy, and observe ADK agents on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Design Principles

  • Agent-agnostic: Works with Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Codex, or any agent.
  • Lifecycle coverage: Skills span scaffold → ADK code → eval → deploy → publish → observability.
  • Optional standalone CLI: Commands run directly in terminal without an agent.

Key Skills

  • google-agents-cli-workflow: Dev lifecycle & rules.
  • google-agents-cli-scaffold: Project creation/enhancement.
  • google-agents-cli-adk-code: ADK Python patterns.
  • google-agents-cli-eval / deploy / publish / observability: Specialized stages.

Best Practice

Install via uvx google-agents-cli setup, then ask your agent to build; the agent loads relevant skills by context. Use CLI commands for explicit local runs.

Skill Composition

How skills in this set are triggered

Each skill is designed for a specific kind of caller — some only fire when you name them, others load automatically when the model judges them relevant. The split below summarises both modes at a glance.

User-Invoked0

These skills only fire when you call them by name. The agent will not load them on its own — they stay inert until invoked.

No skill in this set is recommended for manual invocation.

Model-Invoked7

These skills are loaded automatically by the agent when it judges the context relevant. You usually don't need to call them yourself.

Skill List

7 Skills · Filter by name or domain

google-agents-cli-adk-code

A coding skill providing Python ADK reference patterns and CLI workflows for building agents with Google's agents-cli. It requires scaffolded projects and the workflow skill, then offers cheatsheets for Agent, tools, and graph workflows. Value: accelerates correct ADK agent code aligned with project conventions.

google-agents-cli-eval

A skill guiding iterative agent evaluation with `agents-cli eval` commands (generate, grade, compare, synthesize, analyze, optimize). It provides a 5-stage quality flywheel, metric selection, and failure-fix mapping. Value: systematically improves agent quality via traced, graded, and compared eval runs.
