What it does

If full deployment chosen → CI/CD runner? GitHub Actions (default) or Google Cloud Build?
If agent should remember user preferences or facts across sessions → Memory Bank? Long-term memory across conversations. See /google-agents-cli-adk-code.
If Cloud Run or GKE chosen → Session storage? In-memory (default), Cloud SQL (persistent), or Agent Platform Sessions (managed).
If deployment with CI/CD chosen → Git repository? Does one already exist, or should one be created? If creating, public or private?
No project yet → agents-cli scaffold create <name>
Existing code to import → agents-cli scaffold enhance . (adds the agents-cli structure)
uv run pytest — Tests code correctness: imports work, functions return expected types, API contracts hold. Does NOT test whether the agent behaves well.

Requirements & configuration

Requires: google-agents-cli ~= 1.1.0
This list is useful at any phase — revisit it when you hit deployment, publishing, or infrastructure questions. A sample's Terraform or registration pattern may be exactly what you need later.
Not all agents require this — currently supporting Gemini Enterprise. See /google-agents-cli-publish for registration modes, flags, and troubleshooting.
| "The user's request is clear enough, no need to clarify" | You're guessing at requirements. Phase 0 exists to confirm intent before scaffolding — even one question can prevent a full rework. |
Code modifications require surgical precision — alter only the code segments directly targeted by the user's request and strictly preserve all surrounding and unrelated code.

google-agents-cli-workflow FAQ

What does the google-agents-cli-workflow skill do?

> 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. If full deployment chosen → CI/CD runner? GitHub Actions (default) or Google Cloud Build? If agent should remember user preferences or facts across sessions → Memory Bank? Long-term memory across conversations. See /google-agents-cli-adk-code.
