agents-cli

Hey all, I'm Elia. I work with developers building agents on Google Cloud, and today we're launching Agents CLI. You've probably run into this yourselves. You can build a demo agent in an afternoon, but getting one to production is weeks of work, and barely any of it is the actual agent. It's the plumbing around it: SDKs, MCP servers, auth, telemetry, CI/CD, and ten docs tabs open at once. Hand that to your coding agent (Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex) and it spends most of the session figuring out the setup instead of your agent's actual behavior. So we built a CLI your coding agent can drive. Install it with one line: `uvx google-agents-cli setup` Then ask it something like "build an SRE agent that reads logs and drafts an incident report." Under the hood it runs: ``` agents-cli create my-agent # scaffold: agent, tools, tests, Dockerfile, Observability, Terraform, CI/CD agents-cli eval run # run the agent over a dataset and score it, so you iterate on numbers agents-cli deploy # deploy to Vertex AI Agent Engine, Cloud Run, or GKE ``` Agents CLI will carefully support your coding agent into the whole path to production. It will leverage expert crafted templates, built-in evals, and it runs headless so your coding agent can keep going on its own and self-optimize based on what you specified as success criteria! We optimize for ADK (Google's open-source agent framework) and Google Cloud, but you can customize as you prefer. You can adapt to any model or any custom setup you might have. I'll be in the comments all day. Any particular agent you'd like to ship? Drop it below and I'll tell you how I'd build it!
