What it does

Agent Engine / Vertex AI Agent Engine → --deployment-target agentruntime
Agent Engine sessions / Agent Platform Sessions → --session-type agentplatformsessions
Vertex AI Search / Vertex AI Vector Search / RAG → clone-and-study recipe, not a flag (see /google-agents-cli-workflow Phase 1)
Project name must be 26 characters or less, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
Do NOT mkdir the project directory before running create — the CLI creates it automatically. If you mkdir first, create will fail or behave unexpectedly.
Non-standard project structures that enhance can't handle
Cherry-picking specific infrastructure files

Requirements & configuration

Requires: agents-cli (uv tool install google-agents-cli) — install uv first if needed.
Prerequisite: Clarify Requirements (MANDATORY for new projects)
When you need specific files (Terraform, CI/CD workflows, Dockerfile) but don't want to scaffold the current project directly, create a temporary reference project in /tmp/:
Inspect the generated files, adapt what you need, and copy into the actual project. Delete the reference project when done.
