What it does
agents-cli is a command-line tool and a set of skills from Google. It teaches AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity how to create AI agents with Google's Agent Development Kit.
Your assistant can then set up a project, test the agent, deploy it to Google Cloud and register it with Gemini. You describe what you want, and the assistant uses the tool.
