⚠️ Agent Starter Pack is in maintenance mode — switch to agents-cli
Active development has moved to agents-cli, the next evolution of Agent Starter Pack. ASP will continue to receive critical fixes only — no new features, no new templates, no new deployment targets. New projects should start with agents-cli; existing projects should migrate.
uvx google-agents-cli setup
Migration takes minutes — your agent code, tests, Terraform, and CI/CD carry over with no rewrites.
What you gain:
🛠️ Unified CLI in place of the Makefile — run, deploy, eval run, eval compare, playground, lint, and more
🧠 Bundled coding-agent skills that turn Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex into an ADK expert
☁️ First-class support for Google Cloud's Agent Platform
→ Migration guide • Get started • Docs • GitHub • PyPI
A Python package that provides production-ready templates for GenAI agents on Google Cloud.
Focus on your agent logic—the starter pack provides everything else: infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and security.
⚡️ Launch
🧪 Experiment
✅ Deploy
🛠️ Customize
Pre-built agent templates (ReAct, RAG, multi-agent, Live API).
Vertex AI evaluation and an interactive playground.
Production-ready infra with monitoring, observability, and CI/CD on Cloud Run or Agent Engine.
Extend and customize templates according to your needs. 🆕 Now integrating with Gemini CLI
⚡ Get Started in 1 Minute
From zero to production-ready agent in 60 seconds using uv:
uvx agent-starter-pack create
✨ Alternative: Using pip
If you don't have uv installed, you can use pip:
# Create and activate a Python virtual environment
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
# Install the agent starter pack
pip install --upgrade agent-starter-pack
# Create a new agent project
agent-starter-pack create
That's it! You now have a fully functional agent project—complete with backend, frontend, and deployment infrastructure—ready for you to explore and customize.
🔧 Enhance Existing Agents
Already have an agent? Add production-ready deployment and infrastructure by running this command in your project's root folder:
uvx agent-starter-pack enhance
See Installation Guide for more options, or try with zero setup in Firebase Studio or Cloud Shell.
