From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 15 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

agents-cli installs seven skills into coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity CLI. It also provides commands to scaffold ADK Python agent projects, run evals, and deploy to Agent Runtime, Cloud Run or GKE. The CLI also works standalone from a terminal, and local create, run and eval need only an AI Studio API key.

Who it is for: Developers using coding agents to build ADK agents on Google Cloud

Strengths

Covers the full lifecycle: scaffold, eval, deploy, publish and observability commands plus matching skills
Eval commands include synthesized multi-turn datasets, failure clustering and prompt auto-tuning
scaffold enhance adds deployment and CI/CD to existing agent projects
Local create, run and eval work with an AI Studio key, no Google Cloud needed

Weaknesses

Targets ADK agents on Google Cloud and Gemini; other frameworks are not covered
Deployment and publish features require a Google Cloud project
Telemetry is on by default; opt out with AGENTS_CLI_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1
Requires Python 3.11+, uv and Node.js installed

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Python 3.11+, uv, Node.js, Google Cloud (for deploy), AI Studio API key (for local runs)
Models: Gemini

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
