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, state management, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

git clone https://github.com/google/agents-cli /tmp/agents-cli && ln -s /tmp/agents-cli/skills/google-agents-cli-adk-code ~/.claude/skills/google-agents-cli-adk-codeFrom README
ADK Code Reference Activate /google-agents-cli-workflow first for required development phases and scaffolding steps. Study Recipes (No Project Needed) Read the topic index in references/samples.md before answering "how do I build X". Worked implementations exist for: sandboxed/per-user code execution, agent-loadable SKILL.md skills, cross-session memory, approval gates before risky actions, tool guardrails, per-user credentials, and scheduled/event-driven runs. The index only gives you a name; the recipe is the code. Clone it and read its AGENTS.md before you implement anything it covers. Hand-writing a Docker or E2B sandbox wrapper, a skill loader, a moderation callback or a memory store — for a capability the index lists — means you stopped at the name. Prerequisites for Writing Code Do NOT write agent code until a project is scaffolded. Verify project: run agents-cli info (proceed if config exists). New project: run agents-cli scaffold create .
