Simplify your Agent "vibe building" flow with ADK and Gemini CLI- Google Developers Blog
Jul 16, 2025Julia Wiesinger, Hangfei Lin

Summary
This post introduces an enhanced workflow for agent development by combining the Agent Development Kit (ADK) with the Gemini CLI. The core technical contribution is the optimization of the `llms-full.txt` file within the ADK, reducing its size and improving its understandability for LLMs. This allows the Gemini CLI to act as a specialized ADK assistant, enabling conversational generation and modification of ADK-based Python code for AI agents. The post demonstrates this by walking through the creation of a GitHub issue labeling agent, from initial planning via Gemini CLI to code generation and iterative refinement, highlighting reduced friction and accelerated prototyping.
