agents-cli

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management", or needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) Python API patterns and code examples. Part of the Google ADK skills suite. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, and state management. Do NOT use for creating new projects (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "deploy an agent", "deploy my ADK agent", "set up CI/CD", "configure secrets", "troubleshoot a deployment", or needs guidance on Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, or GKE deployment targets, or awareness of Agent Gateway. Covers deployment workflows, service accounts, rollback, and production infrastructure. Part of the Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) skills suite. Do NOT use for API code patterns (use google-agents-cli-adk-code), evaluation (use google-agents-cli-eval), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Agent Platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Do NOT use for API code patterns (use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "set up tracing", "monitor my ADK agent", "configure logging", "add observability", "debug production traffic", or needs guidance on monitoring deployed ADK (Agent Development Kit) agents. Covers Cloud Trace, prompt-response logging, BigQuery Agent Analytics, third-party integrations (AgentOps, Phoenix, MLflow, etc.), and troubleshooting. Part of the Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment setup (use google-agents-cli-deploy) or API code patterns (use google-agents-cli-adk-code).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini Enterprise", "publish to Gemini Enterprise", or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini-enterprise command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry" or "list/update/delete registered agents". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "create an agent project", "start a new ADK project", "build me a new agent", "add CI/CD to my project", "add deployment", "enhance my project", or "upgrade my project". Part of the Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) skills suite. Covers `agents-cli scaffold create`, `scaffold enhance`, and `scaffold upgrade` commands, template options, deployment targets, and the prototype-first workflow. Do NOT use for writing agent code (use google-agents-cli-adk-code) or deployment operations (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

This skill should be used when the user wants to "develop an agent", "build an agent using ADK", "run the agent locally", "debug agent code", "test an agent", "deploy an agent", "publish an agent", "monitor an agent", or needs the ADK (Agent Development Kit) development lifecycle and coding guidelines. Entrypoint for building ADK agents. Always active — provides the full workflow (scaffold, build, evaluate, deploy, publish, observe), code preservation rules, model selection guidance, and troubleshooting steps for ADK or any agent development.
