At a glance
Creates a new Python recipe for the ADK recipes repository by running a scaffold script that copies template files, after confirming the output directory and recipe name.
- Works in 2 steps: Output Directory (Required — must ask if… → Recipe Name (Required — must ask if not…
- Starting a new Python recipe in contrib/python
- SKILL.md covers Rules, Inputs, Run and Respond
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv and python3
What it does
This skill creates a new Python ADK recipe inside the adk-recipes repository by running scripts/scaffold.py, never by writing boilerplate files by hand. The agent must have two inputs first and ask if either is missing: an output directory, chosen from contrib/python/ (community recipes, preferred), core/python/ (curated) or the legacy flat contrib/, and a recipe name made only of lowercase letters and hyphens, at most 30 characters, not starting or ending with a hyphen. An invalid name is explained and a corrected one requested.
The script takes exactly two flags, --name and --output-dir, and copies a template tree that includes an app with an agent module, a FastAPI-style app file and telemetry helpers, a manifest.yaml, pyproject.toml, a README, an .env.example and an eval setup with a basic evalset. After it succeeds, the agent tells you the recipe is ready and lists the next steps, making no further changes in that turn. Everything it creates is called a recipe, never a project, and vertical plugins under plugins/ are out of scope because no template for them exists yet.
When your agent uses it
- Starting a new Python recipe in contrib/python
- Adding a curated recipe under core/python
- Checking whether a proposed recipe name is valid
Example prompts
- “Scaffold a new Python recipe called support-triage in contrib/python.”
- “Create a curated Python recipe named invoice-reader under core/python.”
- “Is Invoice_Reader_v2 a valid name for a new recipe?”
Requirements
- Python 3 to run scripts/scaffold.py
- A checkout of the adk-recipes repository
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fa9bdde. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Scaffold Python ADK Recipe loads about 931 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Scaffolding a New Python ADK Recipe
Use this skill to scaffold a new Python ADK recipe inside this repository using the automated script at scripts/scaffold.py.
Rules
- No Manual Boilerplate Writing: Always use
scripts/scaffold.pyto create the recipe. Never write the boilerplate files manually. - Do Not Modify After Scaffolding: Once the script runs successfully, do not make any further changes to the recipe in this turn.
- Use the Correct Terminology (Recipe): Always refer to what is being created as a recipe, never as a "project". Ensure all output messages, instructions, and explanations to the user use "recipe" exclusively.
Inputs
You must have both pieces of information below before running the script. If either is missing or was not explicitly provided by the user, ask for it — do not assume or use a default.
1. Output Directory (Required — must ask if not provided)
The user must choose one of these valid locations:
contrib/python/— community recipes; preferred for new Python recipescore/python/— curated recipescontrib/— legacy flat layout, still accepted; prefercontrib/python/
If the user has not specified which directory, ask them to choose. Do not proceed until a valid choice is confirmed.
This skill cannot scaffold a vertical plugin (plugins/<vertical>/<solution>/). Those have a different shape — SKILL.md, EVAL.yaml, scripts/, assets/, references/, tests/unit/ — and no template ships for them yet. If the user asks for one, tell them so rather than scaffolding into the wrong place.
Show full SKILL.md (197 more words)Show less
2. Recipe Name (Required — must ask if not provided)
The recipe name must satisfy all of the following rules:
- Contains only lowercase letters and hyphens (
a-z,-) - Is 30 characters or less
- Does not start or end with a hyphen
If the user provided a name, validate it against these rules before proceeding. If it is invalid, explain which rule it violates and ask for a corrected name. Do not proceed until a valid name is confirmed.
Run
Execute the scaffold script:
python3 .agents/skills/scaffold-python-recipe/scripts/scaffold.py --name <RECIPE_NAME> --output-dir <OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>The script accepts exactly two flags: --name (required) and --output-dir (required). Do not pass any other flags.
Respond
Once the script succeeds, inform the user the recipe is ready and highlight the following required next steps:
- Update
manifest.yaml: Fill in thedescription,ownership.team, andownership.pocfields (placeholders are marked withTODO:). This file is validated by CI and must not contain placeholder values. Use thegenerate-manifestskill if you want it populated automatically from the source code. - Update
README.md: Replace the generic title and description with details specific to this recipe (ownership/POC live inmanifest.yaml, above — not in the README).
Then, provide these quick-start commands:
cd <OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>/<RECIPE_NAME>
uv sync # install dependencies
uv run pytest # run the test suite
uv run adk run app # run the agent interactivelyDo not make any further changes. End your turn.
