Curator's take
Reach for agents-cli when you're building and shipping agents ON Google Cloud / Gemini Enterprise and want one CLI for scaffold → eval → deploy, driven through a coding agent you already use. NOT the pick if you're not on Google Cloud — deploy targets and publish are GCP/Gemini-bound — or if you want a portable, vendor-neutral framework to embed in your own app; a framework like LangGraph or CrewAI fits that better.
agents-cli
The CLI and skills for building agents on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.

Turn your favorite coding assistant into an expert at building and deploying agents on Google Cloud.
Agents CLI in Agent Platform (agents-cli) gives your coding agent the skills and commands to build, scale, govern, and optimize enterprise-grade agents — so you don't have to learn every CLI and service yourself.
Works seamlessly with: Antigravity CLI • Claude Code • Codex • and any other coding agent.
Get Started
Prerequisites: Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js.
1. Install
uvx google-agents-cli setup
Or just the skills — your coding agent will handle the rest
npx skills add google/agents-cli
2. Open your coding agent
Launch Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent you prefer.
3. Build your first agent
Ask your coding agent to build something — e.g. "Use agents-cli to build a caveman-style agent that compresses verbose text into terse, technical grunts"
