Project Scaffolding

Use this sub-skill inside the google-agents-cli repo skill. It is a router plus operating checklist; move into the bundled references for full command flags, schemas, and examples.

When to Use

• The user wants to create a new project, enhance an existing project, or upgrade generated files.
• The task asks about agents-cli create, agents-cli scaffold create, enhance, or upgrade.
• You need to map prototype/deployment/session/CI-CD choices to CLI flags.

Workflow

1. Confirm project name/path and whether prototype-first is desired.
2. Map target architecture to --deployment-target, --session-type, and --cicd-runner flags.
3. Run scaffold create only for a new directory; use scaffold enhance for an existing project.
4. After scaffolding, load workflow/adk-code/eval for implementation and validation.

Read These References

• references/scaffold-guide.md — read for scaffold guide details.
• references/flags.md — read for flags details.

Verification and Safety

Safe checks: agents-cli scaffold --help; project creation/enhance mutates files and needs confirmation.

Boundaries

• Does not write custom ADK business logic; use adk-code after project creation.
• Does not deploy live resources; use deploy after scaffold files exist.
