Agents CLI: One Command Line From Design to Production

Google's new open-source CLI covers the entire AI Agent Development Lifecycle — scaffolding, evaluation, deployment and publishing — replacing a scatter of editors, terminals, consoles and eval frameworks with a single unified toolchain.

The Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC)

Each stage maps to a skill and a CLI command — one continuous flow.

Scaffold

scaffold <name>

Evaluate

eval generate / grade

→

Deploy

deploy

Publish

publish gemini-enterprise

Two ways to run

Human Mode

Skills injected into Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.

Requires Python 3.11+, uv and Node.js. Local dev needs only an AI Studio API key; production needs a Google Cloud project.

Google Cloud only — no AWS or Azure
Pre-GA: spec still subject to change
