What it does

Google Cloud Agent SDK Master is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build, evaluate, deploy, publish, or modernize Google ADK agent applications with Google's maintained agents-cli workflow. Use when a request mentions Google Agent Development Kit, agents-cli, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE agent deployment, or migration from Agent Starter Pack. For Claude Code agents/.md definitions, use agent-creator instead. Trigger with "build a Google ADK agent", "deploy this ADK app", or "migrate Agent Starter Pack".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `references/SKILL.full.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code and other Agent Skills clients; commands require Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents and Deployment. It works with Google Cloud, Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine. 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

  • A request mentions Google Agent Development Kit

Example prompts

  • “build a Google ADK agent”
  • “deploy this ADK app”
  • “migrate Agent Starter Pack”
  • “/google-cloud-agent-sdk-master”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code and other Agent Skills clients; commands require Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the request as build, enhance, evaluate, deploy, publish, observe, or
  2. Inspect the local repository before proposing changes. Preserve working agent
  3. Verify current CLI syntax from the installed command or official docs. Start
  4. For implementation guidance, define the ADK agent, tools, state, callbacks,
  5. Validate locally with the generated project's own commands. Current
  6. For deployment, distinguish Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, and GKE. Inspect
  7. For Gemini Enterprise registration, use the current `publish
  8. For Agent Starter Pack projects, follow Google's migration guide. Do not

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uvx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • google.github.io
    • github.com

    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 and other Agent Skills clients; commands require Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Google Cloud Agent SDK Master loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 582 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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.

Google Cloud ADK Application Workflow

Overview

Guide a Google ADK application through its current lifecycle: inspect, scaffold, run, evaluate, deploy, publish, and observe. Prefer Google's actively maintained agents-cli. Agent Starter Pack is in maintenance mode and should be treated as a migration source, not the default for new work.

This skill creates Google-hosted agent applications. It does not create Claude Code subagent definition files; route those requests to agent-creator.

Prerequisites

  • Identify whether the target is new, an existing ADK app, or an Agent Starter Pack project that needs migration.
  • Confirm the local project path and read its instructions.
  • For current-version questions, use WebFetch on official Google documentation or WebSearch restricted to official Google domains.
  • For existing code, use Glob, Grep, and Read to establish its actual framework, configuration, tests, and deployment lane before recommending work.
  • Do not require Google Cloud for local development; AI Studio credentials may support a local-only workflow. Cloud deployment does require a Google project.

Instructions

  1. Classify the request as build, enhance, evaluate, deploy, publish, observe, or migrate. State which lifecycle stage is in scope.

  2. Inspect the local repository before proposing changes. Preserve working agent code, evaluation datasets, Terraform, and CI/CD during migrations.

  3. Verify current CLI syntax from the installed command or official docs. Start from these maintained entry points:

    bash
    uvx google-agents-cli setup
    agents-cli create PROJECT_NAME
    agents-cli scaffold enhance
    agents-cli scaffold upgrade
  4. For implementation guidance, define the ADK agent, tools, state, callbacks, error contracts, and tests before selecting infrastructure. Use the detailed lifecycle reference for current command families.

  5. Validate locally with the generated project's own commands. Current agents-cli releases expose install, lint, run, and the eval command group. Do not claim success without the actual command receipt.

  6. For deployment, distinguish Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, and GKE. Inspect agents-cli deploy --help for the installed version and present project, region, identity, secrets, APIs, quotas, and rollback before any mutation.

  7. For Gemini Enterprise registration, use the current publish gemini-enterprise workflow and require a separate approval.

  8. For Agent Starter Pack projects, follow Google's migration guide. Do not recreate removed templates or old Makefile commands.

Output

  • Lifecycle stage and selected architecture
  • Source evidence: inspected files and official documentation version/date
  • Exact commands proposed or run
  • Tool, state, authentication, and secret contracts
  • Verification results from lint, smoke tests, evaluations, and deployment checks
  • Remaining risks, costs to verify, and the next approval boundary

Error Handling

FailureResponse
Request is for a Claude Code subagent fileRoute to agent-creator; do not scaffold a Google app
CLI syntax conflicts with this skillTrust installed --help and current official docs, then report the drift
Agent Starter Pack command is encounteredTreat it as legacy and use the migration guide
Authentication is absentKeep work local; explain the needed login or credential without handling secrets
Region, runtime, or feature is unavailableCite the failed target and offer a documented supported alternative
Evaluation or smoke test failsStop before deployment and preserve the failing receipt
Pricing is requestedLink current Google pricing; do not repeat cached fixed prices

Examples

  • "Create a new Google ADK support agent." Inspect prerequisites, propose agents-cli create, define the tool and evaluation contract, and wait before scaffolding.
  • "Modernize this Agent Starter Pack project." Inventory the project, follow the official migration path, preserve code and infrastructure, then run the upgraded verification lane.
  • "Deploy this ADK app." Verify local tests and evals, compare supported runtimes, show the exact deployment plan, and wait for approval.
