ADK Development Workflow & Guidelines
STOP — Do NOT write code yet. If no project exists, scaffold first with
agents-cli scaffold create <name>. If the user already has code, useagents-cli scaffold enhance .to add the agents-cli structure. Runagents-cli infoto check if a project already exists. Skipping this leads to missing eval boilerplate, CI/CD config, and project conventions.
agents-cli is a CLI and skills toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying agents on Google Cloud using the Agent Development Kit (ADK). It works with any coding agent — Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex, or others. Install with uvx google-agents-cli setup.
Requires: google-agents-cli
= 0.1.3 If version is behind, run: uv tool install "google-agents-cli=0.1.3" Check version: agents-cli info Install uv first if needed.
Session Continuity & Skill Cross-References
Re-read the relevant skill before each phase — not after you've already started and hit a problem. Context compaction may have dropped earlier skill content. If skills are not available, run uvx google-agents-cli setup to install them.
| Phase | Skill | When to load |
|---|---|---|
| 0 — Understand | — | No skill needed — read DESIGN_SPEC.md or clarify goals with the user |
| 1 — Study samples | — | Check Notable Samples table below — clone and study matching samples before scaffolding |
