Quick reference for ADK Python patterns: agents, tools, callbacks
by googleFree
Description
google-agents-cli-adk-code is an agent skill from Google's agents-cli project that works as a quick reference for writing Agent Development Kit (ADK) code in Python. It covers creating an agent with its model and instruction configuration, defining a basic tool with FunctionTool, and the callback patterns used for state initialization and lifecycle hooks, along with state management more broadly. Before writing code, the skill sends the agent to study worked recipes that need no project. The Python recipes are indexed in a samples reference and include sandboxed or per-user code execution, agent-loadable SKILL.md skills, cross-session memory, approval gates before risky actions, tool guardrails, per-user credentials, and scheduled or event-driven runs. For Go, it points to the upstream examples folder of the adk-go repository and says to read the example that matches the capability before implementing it. The skill is strict about order. It says not to write agent code until a project has been scaffolded, and it asks the agent to activate the google-agents-cli-workflow skill first for the required development phases.…
