name google-agents-cli-onboarding metadata {"category":"DevOps"} description Onboarding entrypoint for agents-cli in Agent Platform. It should be used when the user wants to "create a new agent", "develop an agent", "build an agent using ADK", "run the agent locally", "debug agent code", "test an agent", "evaluate an agent", "deploy an agent", "publish an agent", "monitor an agent", or needs the ADK (Agent Development Kit) development lifecycle. Google Agents CLI Onboarding [!TIP] One-Time Setup : To install the CLI and enable all 7 specialized development skills in your coding agent, run the setup command: uvx google-agents-cli setup Alternatively, to install only the expert skills and let the agent handle execution: npx skills add google/agents-cli Overview This skill serves as the entrypoint for agents-cli — Google's toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying AI agents on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Use this skill to perform the initial setup and identify the correct specialized workflows for your task. The Agent Development Lifecycle After running the setup, the following specialized skills become available and will activate automatically based on your requests. Use this table to identify which skill to load for your current phase: Phase Specialized Skill Purpose / When to Load 0 — Understand google-agents-cli-workflow Clarify intent. Define the agent spec in .agents-cli-spec.md before coding. 1 — Study google-agents-cli-workflow Leverage samples. Study existing agent samples (e.g., ambient-expense ) before scaffolding. 2 — Scaffold google-agents-cli-scaffold Create/Enhance. Initialize the project structure, CI/CD, and infrastructure templates. 3 — Build google-agents-cli-adk-code Implement. Write agent logic, tools, callbacks, and manage state using ADK APIs. 4 — Evaluate google-agents-cli-eval Validate Quality. Run systematic evaluations (LLM-as-judge). 5 — Deploy google-agents-cli-deploy Go Production. Deploy to Agent Runtime (Vertex AI), Cloud Run, or GKE. 6 — Publish google-agents-cli-publish Register. Make your agent available as a tool in Gemini Enterprise. 7 — Observe google-agents-cli-observability Monitor. Set up Cloud Trace, prompt-response logging, and BigQuery analytics. Key CLI Commands Below are the primary commands you will use throughout the development lifecycle: Command Description agents-cli setup Install the CLI and configure skills in your coding agent. agents-cli scaffold <name> Create a new agent project from a template. agents-cli eval run Run the agent and grade the traces in a single step (generate + grade). agents-cli deploy Deploy your agent to Google Cloud (Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, GKE). agents-cli publish gemini-enterprise Register your deployed agent with Gemini Enterprise. For the full list of available commands and global options, run agents-cli --help . Next Steps Follow this sequence to initiate the development workflow: Execute Setup: Run the uvx or npx command in the [!TIP] box above to install the CLI and enable the specialized skills in your environment. Verify Installation: Run agents-cli info to confirm the installation and view the active project configuration. Initiate Phase 0: Ask the user for their core requirements (agent purpose, external tools, deployment target) and document them in .agents-cli-spec.md before writing any code.
