Google Agents Cli Adk Code
This is your reference when you're actually writing ADK agent code in Python, not scaffolding or deploying. It covers the practical stuff: defining agents with models and instructions, creating FunctionTools, wiring up callbacks for state management, and importing ADK's built-in tools correctly. One smart choice here is the explicit warning about ADK 2.0's Workflow API, which gates experimental graph-based orchestration behind user opt-in since it's pre-GA and needs Python 3.11+. The skill also includes a clever gatekeeper that checks for an existing project before letting you write code, and a helpful debug command for dealing with Gemini 404 errors caused by region misconfigurations. Works best alongside the workflow and scaffold skills from the same suite.

ADK Code Reference
Activate /google-agents-cli-workflow first.
1. Study Recipes (No Project Needed)
Python — read the topic index in references/recipes.md before answering "how do I build X".
Worked implementations exist for: sandboxed/per-user code execution, agent-loadable SKILL.md
skills, cross-session memory, approval gates before risky actions, tool guardrails, per-user
credentials, and scheduled/event-driven runs.
Go — read the upstream examples/.
clone the repo and read the one matching the capability you need before implementing it.
2. Prerequisites for Writing Code
Do NOT write agent code until a project is scaffolded.
- Verify project: run
agents-cli info(proceed if config exists). - No project: load
/google-agents-cli-workflowand agree the spec with the user (its Phase 0) before you scaffold. - Existing code: run
agents-cli scaffold enhance ..
