Google ADK (Python) Skill

This skill provides comprehensive documentation and Python examples for the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). It maps documentation topics to their corresponding Python code snippets.

How to Use

Identify the user's specific interest or task and refer to the relevant reference file below. Each reference file contains links to the official documentation (Markdown) and the corresponding Python examples (raw code).

Topics

1. Getting Started

For installation, quickstarts, and basic agent setup.

Reference: references/get-started.md

2. Agents & Models

For creating different types of agents (LLM, Workflow, Loop, Parallel, Sequential) and configuring specific models (Gemini, Anthropic, etc.).

Agents Reference: references/agents.md
Models Reference: references/models.md

3. Tools (Basic & Advanced)

For integrating tools like Google Search, Code Execution, BigQuery, third-party services (GitHub, Jira, etc.), MCP, and Grounding.

Reference: references/tutorials.md

9. API Reference

For REST API details.

Reference: references/api.md

10. General Information

For project info, community, release notes, and limitations.

Reference: references/general.md

Instructions

When a user asks about a specific topic, load the corresponding reference file to get the URLs for the documentation and code.
You can read the content of the linked files using web_fetch or run_shell_command with curl if you need to provide the actual content to the user.
Always prefer providing the Python example code when explaining a concept.
