Agents CLI is a command-line tool plus a set of agent skills for building agents on Google Cloud with the Agent Development Kit (ADK). The skills install into a coding assistant — Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Codex, or another — so the assistant can scaffold, evaluate, deploy, and register ADK agents without you learning each underlying service yourself. It is not a coding agent: every command also runs directly from a terminal without one.
Local development — creating a project, running it, and evaluating it — needs only an AI Studio API key to run Gemini with ADK. Deployment and cloud features require a Google Cloud project, and the resources a deploy creates live in that project. Python 3.11 or later is required.
Features
- Coding-agent skills: seven packs covering the development lifecycle, the ADK Python API, scaffolding, evaluation, deployment, Gemini Enterprise publishing, and observability
- Project scaffolding: create starts a new agent project, scaffold enhance adds deployment or CI/CD to an existing one, and scaffold upgrade moves a project to a newer version
- Evaluation: run inference over an eval dataset and grade the traces against metrics, synthesize multi-turn scenarios, compare two result files, cluster failure modes, and auto-tune prompts from eval data
- Deployment targets: Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, and GKE, with CI/CD pipelines and secret handling
- Infrastructure provisioning: infra single-project and infra cicd set up single-project or staging-and-production infrastructure
- Gemini Enterprise publishing: publish gemini-enterprise registers a deployed agent
- Observability: Cloud Trace, logging, and third-party integrations
- Standalone operation: scaffold, eval, deploy, and every other command run from the terminal with no coding agent involved
