Google agents cli adk code

Skill aiskillstore/marketplace/skills/google/google-agents-cli-adk-code

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management", or needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) Python API patterns and code examples. Part of the Google ADK skills suite. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, and state management. Do NOT use for creating new projects (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).From its SKILL.md

One thing to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

ADK Code Reference

Before using this skill, activate /google-agents-cli-workflow first — it contains the required development phases and scaffolding steps.

Prerequisites

Run agents-cli info — if it shows project config, skip to the reference below
If no project exists: run agents-cli scaffold create <name>
If user has existing code: run agents-cli scaffold enhance .

Do NOT write agent code until a project is scaffolded.

Python only for now. This reference currently covers the Python ADK SDK. Support for other languages is coming soon.

Quick Reference — Most Common Patterns

from google.adk.agents import Agent

def get_weather(city: str) -> dict:
    """Get current weather for a city."""
    return {"city": city, "temp": "22°C", "condition": "sunny"}

root_agent = Agent(
    name="my_agent",
    model="gemini-flash-latest",
    instruction="You are a helpful assistant that ...",
    tools=[get_weather],
)

References

The first two are cheatsheets for common patterns; for broad or deep knowledge, go to the source (docs index or installed package).

Reference	When to read
`references/adk-python.md`	Core ADK API: `Agent`, tools, callbacks, plugins, state, artifacts, multi-agent systems, `SequentialAgent` / `ParallelAgent` / `LoopAgent`, custom `BaseAgent`. Default for most agents.
`references/adk-workflows.md`	Graph-based Workflow API (ADK 2.0): nodes, edges, fan-out/fan-in, HITL, parallel processing. Use when you need explicit graph topology.
`curl https://adk.dev/llms.txt`	Docs index (every page title + URL). Fetch it, then `WebFetch` the specific page for anything beyond the cheatsheets.
Installed ADK package	Exact signatures and symbols — inspect the source (see "Inspecting ADK Source Code" in `references/adk-python.md`).
