Google Agents Cli Scaffold

This scaffolds new ADK agent projects or adds deployment and CI/CD to existing ones. You're working with Google's Agent Development Kit and need to spin up a RAG agent, A2A coordinator, or standard agent with the right infrastructure plumbing. It handles the `agents-cli scaffold create/enhance/upgrade` commands, mapping user intent like "build me an agent with vector search" to the correct CLI flags for deployment targets, datastores, and session types. The workflow is prototype first: start without deployment, iterate on the agent code, then add Cloud Run or Agent Runtime later. One thing to know: project names are capped at 26 characters, and if you're doing RAG you need to provision the datastore before testing or the agent has nothing to search.

Project Scaffolding Guide

Requires: agents-cli (uv tool install google-agents-cli) — install uv first if needed.

Use the agents-cli CLI to create new agent projects or enhance existing ones with deployment, CI/CD, and infrastructure scaffolding.

Prerequisite: Clarify Requirements (MANDATORY for new projects)

Before scaffolding a new project, load /google-agents-cli-workflow and complete Phase 0 — clarify the user's requirements before running any scaffold create command. Ask what the agent should do, what tools/APIs it needs, and whether they want a prototype or full deployment.
