What it does

Adk Engineer is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute software engineer specializing in creating production-ready ADK agents with best practices, code structure, testing, and deployment automation. Use when asked to "build ADK agent", "create agent code", or "engineer ADK application". Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `PRD.md`, `references/ARD.md` and `references/errors.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents and Deployment. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to build ADK agent
  • Create agent code
  • Engineer ADK application
  • With relevant phrases based on skill purpose

Example prompts

  • “build ADK agent”
  • “create agent code”
  • “engineer ADK application”
  • “/adk-engineer”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify requirements: agent goals, tool surface, latency/cost constraints, and deployment target.
  2. Propose architecture: single agent vs multi-agent, orchestration pattern, state strategy (Memory Bank / external store).
  3. Scaffold structure: agent entrypoint(s), tool modules, config, and tests.
  4. Implement incrementally
  5. Add operational guardrails: retries/backoff, timeouts, logging, and safe error messages.
  6. Validate locally (tests + smoke prompts) and provide a deployment plan (when requested).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Adk Engineer loads about 836 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 341 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~836
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.4k

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.

ADK Engineer

Engineer production-ready Agent Development Kit (ADK) agents and multi-agent systems: clean structure, testability, safe tool usage, and deployment automation.

Overview

Use this skill to design and implement ADK agent code that is maintainable and shippable: clear module boundaries, structured tool interfaces, regression tests, and a deployment checklist (local or Agent Engine).

Prerequisites

  • A target runtime (Python/Java/Go) consistent with the project’s pinned versions
  • ADK installed (and any required model/provider SDKs configured)
  • A test runner available in the repo (unit tests at minimum)
  • If deploying: access to a Google Cloud project and permissions for the chosen deployment target

Instructions

  1. Clarify requirements: agent goals, tool surface, latency/cost constraints, and deployment target.
  2. Propose architecture: single agent vs multi-agent, orchestration pattern, state strategy (Memory Bank / external store).
  3. Scaffold structure: agent entrypoint(s), tool modules, config, and tests.
  4. Implement incrementally:
    • add one tool at a time with input validation and structured outputs
    • add regression tests for each tool and critical prompt flows
  5. Add operational guardrails: retries/backoff, timeouts, logging, and safe error messages.
  6. Validate locally (tests + smoke prompts) and provide a deployment plan (when requested).

Output

  • A concrete architecture plan and file layout
  • Agent and tool implementations (or patches) with tests
  • A validation checklist (commands to run, expected outputs, and failure triage)
  • Optional: deployment instructions and post-deploy health checks

Error Handling

  • Build/test failures: isolate the failing module, minimize the repro, fix, and add a regression test.
  • Tool/runtime errors: enforce structured error responses and safe retries where appropriate.
  • Deployment failures: provide the exact failing command, logs to inspect, and least-privilege IAM fixes.

Examples

Example: Productionizing an existing ADK agent

  • Request: “Refactor this agent into a clean module structure and add tests before we deploy.”
  • Result: reorganized src/ layout, tool boundaries, a test suite, and a deployment checklist.

Example: Multi-agent workflow

  • Request: “Build a validator + deployer + monitor agent team with a sequential orchestrator.”
  • Result: orchestrator skeleton, per-agent responsibilities, and smoke tests for each step.
