ADK Project Scaffolding Guide

Use the agent-starter-pack CLI (via uvx) to create new ADK agent projects or enhance existing ones with deployment, CI/CD, and infrastructure scaffolding.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask these questions in two rounds. Start with the use case, then move to architecture.

Start with the use case, then ask follow-ups based on answers.

Always ask:

1. What problem will the agent solve? — Core purpose and capabilities
2. External APIs or data sources needed? — Tools, integrations, auth requirements
3. Safety constraints? — What the agent must NOT do, guardrails
4. Deployment preference? — Prototype first (recommended) or full deployment? If deploying: Agent Engine or Cloud Run?
