adk-fluent 0.2.2

Fluent builder API for Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK)

adk-fluent

Fluent builder API for Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). Reduces agent creation from 22+ lines to 1-3 lines while producing identical native ADK objects.

Install

pip install adk-fluent

Autocomplete works immediately -- the package ships with .pyi type stubs for every builder. Type Agent("name"). and your IDE shows all available methods with type hints.

IDE Setup

VS Code -- install the Pylance extension (included in the Python extension pack). Autocomplete and type checking work out of the box.

PyCharm -- works automatically. The .pyi stubs are bundled in the package and PyCharm discovers them on install.

Neovim (LSP) -- use pyright as your language server. Stubs are picked up automatically.

Discover the API

from adk_fluent import Agent

agent = Agent("demo")
agent.  # <- autocomplete shows: .model(), .instruct(), .tool(), .build(), ...

# Typos are caught at definition time, not runtime:
agent.instuction("oops")  # -> AttributeError: 'instuction' is not a recognized field.
                          #    Did you mean: 'instruction'?

# Inspect any builder's current state:
print(agent.model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Help.").explain())
# Agent: demo
#   Config fields: model, instruction

# See everything available:
print(dir(agent))  # All methods including forwarded ADK fields

Quick Start

from adk_fluent import Agent, Pipeline, FanOut, Loop

# Simple agent — model as optional second arg or via .model()
agent = Agent("helper", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("You are a helpful assistant.").build()

# Pipeline — build with .step() or >> operator
pipeline = (
    Pipeline("research")
    .step(Agent("searcher", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search for information."))
    .step(Agent("writer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write a summary."))
    .build()
)

# Fan-out — build with .branch() or | operator
fanout = (
    FanOut("parallel_research")
    .branch(Agent("web", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search the web."))
    .branch(Agent("papers", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search papers."))
    .build()
)

# Loop — build with .step() + .max_iterations() or * operator
loop = (
    Loop("refine")
    .step(Agent("writer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write draft."))
    .step(Agent("critic", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Critique."))
    .max_iterations(3)
    .build()
)

Every .build() returns a real ADK object (LlmAgent, SequentialAgent, etc.). Fully compatible with adk web, adk run, and adk deploy.

Two Styles, Same Result

Every workflow can be expressed two ways -- the explicit builder API or the expression operators. Both produce identical ADK objects:

# Explicit builder style — readable, IDE-friendly
pipeline = (
    Pipeline("research")
    .step(Agent("web", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search web.").outputs("web_data"))
    .step(Agent("analyst", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Analyze {web_data}."))
    .build()
)

# Operator style — compact, composable
pipeline = (
    Agent("web", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search web.").outputs("web_data")
    >> Agent("analyst", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Analyze {web_data}.")
).build()

The builder style shines for complex multi-step workflows where each step is configured with callbacks, tools, and context. The operator style excels at composing reusable sub-expressions:

# Complex builder-style pipeline with tools and callbacks
pipeline = (
    Pipeline("customer_support")
    .step(
        Agent("classifier", "gemini-2.5-flash")
        .instruct("Classify the customer's intent.")
        .outputs("intent")
        .before_model(log_fn)
    )
    .step(
        Agent("resolver", "gemini-2.5-flash")
        .instruct("Resolve the {intent} issue.")
        .tool(lookup_customer)
        .tool(create_ticket)
        .history("none")
    )
    .step(
        Agent("responder", "gemini-2.5-flash")
        .instruct("Draft a response to the customer.")
        .after_model(audit_fn)
    )
    .build()
)

# Same complexity, composed from reusable parts with operators
classify = Agent("classifier", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Classify intent.").outputs("intent")
resolve = Agent("resolver", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Resolve {intent}.").tool(lookup_customer)
respond = Agent("responder", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Draft response.")

support_pipeline = classify >> resolve >> respond
# Reuse sub-expressions in different pipelines
escalation_pipeline = classify >> Agent("escalate", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Escalate.")

Expression Language

Nine operators compose any agent topology:

Operator	Meaning	ADK Type
a >> b	Sequence	SequentialAgent
a >> fn	Function step	Zero-cost transform
a | b	Parallel	ParallelAgent
a * 3	Loop (fixed)	LoopAgent
a * until(pred)	Loop (conditional)	LoopAgent + checkpoint
a @ Schema	Typed output	output_schema
a // b	Fallback	First-success chain
Route("key").eq(...)	Branch	Deterministic routing
S.pick(...), S.rename(...)	State transforms	Dict operations via >>

All operators are immutable -- sub-expressions can be safely reused:

review = agent_a >> agent_b
pipeline_1 = review >> agent_c  # Independent
pipeline_2 = review >> agent_d  # Independent

Function Steps

Plain Python functions compose with >> as zero-cost workflow nodes (no LLM call):

def merge_research(state):
    return {"research": state["web"] + "\n" + state["papers"]}

pipeline = web_agent >> merge_research >> writer_agent

Typed Output

@ binds a Pydantic schema as the agent's output contract:

from pydantic import BaseModel

class Report(BaseModel):
    title: str
    body: str

agent = Agent("writer").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write.") @ Report

Fallback Chains

// tries each agent in order -- first success wins:

answer = (
    Agent("fast").model("gemini-2.0-flash").instruct("Quick answer.")
    // Agent("thorough").model("gemini-2.5-pro").instruct("Detailed answer.")
)

Conditional Loops

* until(pred) loops until a predicate on session state is satisfied:

from adk_fluent import until

loop = (
    Agent("writer").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write.").outputs("quality")
    >> Agent("reviewer").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Review.")
) * until(lambda s: s.get("quality") == "good", max=5)

State Transforms

S factories return dict transforms that compose with >>:

from adk_fluent import S

pipeline = (
    (web_agent | scholar_agent)
    >> S.merge("web", "scholar", into="research")
    >> S.default(confidence=0.0)
    >> S.rename(research="input")
    >> writer_agent
)

Factory	Purpose
S.pick(*keys)	Keep only specified keys
S.drop(*keys)	Remove specified keys
S.rename(**kw)	Rename keys
S.default(**kw)	Fill missing keys
S.merge(*keys, into=)	Combine keys
S.transform(key, fn)	Map a single value
S.compute(**fns)	Derive new keys
S.guard(pred)	Assert invariant
S.log(*keys)	Debug-print

Deterministic Routing

Route on session state without LLM calls:

from adk_fluent import Agent
from adk_fluent._routing import Route

classifier = Agent("classify").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Classify intent.").outputs("intent")
booker = Agent("booker").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Book flights.")
info = Agent("info").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Provide info.")

# Route on exact match — zero LLM calls for routing
pipeline = classifier >> Route("intent").eq("booking", booker).eq("info", info)

# Dict shorthand
pipeline = classifier >> {"booking": booker, "info": info}

Conditional Gating

# Only runs if predicate(state) is truthy
enricher = (
    Agent("enricher")
    .model("gemini-2.5-flash")
    .instruct("Enrich the data.")
    .proceed_if(lambda s: s.get("valid") == "yes")
)

Full Composition

All operators compose into a single expression:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from adk_fluent import Agent, S, until

class Report(BaseModel):
    title: str
    body: str
    confidence: float

pipeline = (
    (   Agent("web").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search web.")
      | Agent("scholar").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search papers.")
    )
    >> S.merge("web", "scholar", into="research")
    >> Agent("writer").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write.") @ Report
       // Agent("writer_b").model("gemini-2.5-pro").instruct("Write.") @ Report
    >> (
        Agent("critic").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Score.").outputs("confidence")
        >> Agent("reviser").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Improve.")
    ) * until(lambda s: s.get("confidence", 0) >= 0.85, max=4)
)

Fluent API Reference

Agent Builder

The Agent builder wraps ADK's LlmAgent. Every method returns self for chaining.

Core Configuration

Method	Alias for	Description
.model(name)	model	LLM model identifier ("gemini-2.5-flash", "gemini-2.5-pro", etc.)
.instruct(text_or_fn)	instruction	System instruction. Accepts a string or Callable[[ReadonlyContext], str]
.describe(text)	description	Agent description (used in delegation and tool descriptions)
.outputs(key)	output_key	Store the agent's final response in session state under this key
.tool(fn)	—	Add a tool function or BaseTool instance. Multiple calls accumulate
.build()	—	Resolve into a native ADK LlmAgent

Prompt & Context Control

Method	Alias for	Description
.instruct(text)	instruction	Dynamic instruction. Supports {variable} placeholders auto-resolved from session state
.instruct(fn)	instruction	Callable receiving ReadonlyContext, returns string. Full programmatic control
.static(content)	static_instruction	Cacheable instruction that never changes. Sent as system instruction for context caching
.history("none")	include_contents	Control conversation history: "default" (full history) or "none" (stateless)
.global_instruct(text)	global_instruction	Instruction inherited by all sub-agents
.inject_context(fn)	—	Prepend dynamic context via before_model_callback. The function receives callback context, returns a string

Template variables in string instructions are auto-resolved from session state:

# {topic} and {style} are replaced at runtime from session state
agent = Agent("writer").instruct("Write about {topic} in a {style} tone.")

This composes naturally with the expression algebra:

pipeline = (
    Agent("classifier").instruct("Classify.").outputs("topic")
    >> S.default(style="professional")
    >> Agent("writer").instruct("Write about {topic} in a {style} tone.")
)

Optional variables use ? suffix ({maybe_key?} returns empty string if missing). Namespaced keys: {app:setting}, {user:pref}, {temp:scratch}.

Prompt Builder

For multi-section prompts, the Prompt builder provides structured composition:

from adk_fluent import Prompt

prompt = (
    Prompt()
    .role("You are a senior code reviewer.")
    .context("The codebase uses Python 3.11 with type hints.")
    .task("Review the code for bugs and security issues.")
    .constraint("Be concise. Max 5 bullet points.")
    .constraint("No false positives.")
    .format("Return markdown with ## sections.")
    .example("Input: x=eval(input()) | Output: - **Critical**: eval() on user input")
)

agent = Agent("reviewer").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct(prompt).build()

Sections are emitted in a fixed order (role, context, task, constraints, format, examples) regardless of call order. Prompts are composable and reusable:

base_prompt = Prompt().role("You are a senior engineer.").constraint("Be precise.")

reviewer = Agent("reviewer").instruct(base_prompt + Prompt().task("Review code."))
writer   = Agent("writer").instruct(base_prompt + Prompt().task("Write documentation."))

Method	Description
.role(text)	Agent persona (emitted without header)
.context(text)	Background information
.task(text)	Primary objective
.constraint(text)	Rules to follow (multiple calls accumulate)
.format(text)	Desired output format
.example(text)	Few-shot examples (multiple calls accumulate)
.section(name, text)	Custom named section
.merge(other) / +	Combine two Prompts
.build() / str()	Compile to instruction string

Static Instructions & Context Caching

Split prompts into cacheable and dynamic parts:

agent = (
    Agent("analyst")
    .model("gemini-2.5-flash")
    .static("You are a financial analyst. Here is the 50-page annual report: ...")
    .instruct("Answer the user's question about the report.")
    .build()
)

When .static() is set, the static content goes as a system instruction (eligible for context caching), while .instruct() content goes as user content. This avoids re-processing large static contexts on every turn.

Dynamic Context Injection

Prepend runtime context to every LLM call:

agent = (
    Agent("support")
    .model("gemini-2.5-flash")
    .instruct("Help the customer.")
    .inject_context(lambda ctx: f"Customer: {ctx.state.get('customer_name', 'unknown')}")
    .inject_context(lambda ctx: f"Plan: {ctx.state.get('plan', 'free')}")
)

Each .inject_context() call accumulates. The function receives the callback context and returns a string that gets prepended as content before the LLM processes the request.

Callbacks

All callback methods are additive -- multiple calls accumulate handlers, never replace:

Method	Alias for	Description
.before_model(fn)	before_model_callback	Runs before each LLM call. Receives (callback_context, llm_request)
.after_model(fn)	after_model_callback	Runs after each LLM call. Receives (callback_context, llm_response)
.before_agent(fn)	before_agent_callback	Runs before agent execution
.after_agent(fn)	after_agent_callback	Runs after agent execution
.before_tool(fn)	before_tool_callback	Runs before each tool call
.after_tool(fn)	after_tool_callback	Runs after each tool call
.on_model_error(fn)	on_model_error_callback	Handles LLM errors
.on_tool_error(fn)	on_tool_error_callback	Handles tool errors
.guardrail(fn)	—	Registers fn as both before_model and after_model

Conditional variants append only when the condition is true:

agent = (
    Agent("service")
    .before_model_if(debug_mode, log_fn)
    .after_model_if(audit_enabled, audit_fn)
)

Control Flow

Method	Description
.proceed_if(pred)	Only run this agent if pred(state) is truthy. Uses before_agent_callback
.loop_until(pred, max_iterations=N)	Wrap in a loop that exits when pred(state) is satisfied

Delegation (LLM-Driven Routing)

# The coordinator's LLM decides when to delegate
coordinator = (
    Agent("coordinator")
    .model("gemini-2.5-flash")
    .instruct("Route tasks to the right specialist.")
    .delegate(Agent("math").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Solve math."))
    .delegate(Agent("code").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write code."))
    .build()
)

.delegate(agent) wraps the sub-agent in an AgentTool so the coordinator's LLM can invoke it by name.

One-Shot Execution

Method	Description
.ask(prompt)	Send a prompt, get response text. No Runner/Session boilerplate
.ask_async(prompt)	Async version of .ask()
.stream(prompt)	Async generator yielding response text chunks
.events(prompt)	Async generator yielding raw ADK Event objects
.map(prompts, concurrency=5)	Batch execution against multiple prompts
.map_async(prompts, concurrency=5)	Async batch execution
.session()	Create an interactive async with session context manager
.test(prompt, contains=, matches=, equals=)	Smoke test: calls .ask() and asserts output

Cloning and Variants

base = Agent("base").model("gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Be helpful.")

# Clone — independent deep copy with new name
math_agent = base.clone("math").instruct("Solve math.")

# with_() — immutable variant (original unchanged)
creative = base.with_(name="creative", model="gemini-2.5-pro")

Validation and Introspection

Method	Description
.validate()	Try .build() and raise ValueError with clear message on failure. Returns self
.explain()	Multi-line summary of builder state (config fields, callbacks, lists)
.to_dict() / .to_yaml()	Serialize builder state
.from_dict(data) / .from_yaml(text)	Reconstruct builder from serialized state

Dynamic Field Forwarding

Any ADK LlmAgent field can be set through __getattr__, even without an explicit method:

agent = Agent("x").generate_content_config(my_config)  # Works via forwarding

Misspelled names raise AttributeError with the closest match suggestion.

Workflow Builders

All workflow builders accept both built ADK agents and fluent builders as arguments. Builders are auto-built at .build() time, enabling safe sub-expression reuse.

Pipeline (Sequential)

from adk_fluent import Pipeline, Agent

# Builder style — full control over each step
pipeline = (
    Pipeline("data_processing")
    .step(Agent("extractor", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Extract entities.").outputs("entities"))
    .step(Agent("enricher", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Enrich {entities}.").tool(lookup_db))
    .step(Agent("formatter", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Format output.").history("none"))
    .build()
)

# Operator style — same result
pipeline = (
    Agent("extractor", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Extract entities.").outputs("entities")
    >> Agent("enricher", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Enrich {entities}.").tool(lookup_db)
    >> Agent("formatter", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Format output.").history("none")
).build()

Method	Description
.step(agent)	Append an agent as the next step. Lazy -- built at .build() time
.build()	Resolve into a native ADK SequentialAgent

FanOut (Parallel)

from adk_fluent import FanOut, Agent

# Builder style — named branches with different models
fanout = (
    FanOut("research")
    .branch(Agent("web", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search the web.").outputs("web_results"))
    .branch(Agent("papers", "gemini-2.5-pro").instruct("Search academic papers.").outputs("paper_results"))
    .branch(Agent("internal", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search internal docs.").outputs("internal_results"))
    .build()
)

# Operator style
fanout = (
    Agent("web", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search web.").outputs("web_results")
    | Agent("papers", "gemini-2.5-pro").instruct("Search papers.").outputs("paper_results")
    | Agent("internal", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Search internal docs.").outputs("internal_results")
).build()

Method	Description
.branch(agent)	Add a parallel branch agent. Lazy -- built at .build() time
.build()	Resolve into a native ADK ParallelAgent

Loop

from adk_fluent import Loop, Agent, until

# Builder style — explicit loop configuration
loop = (
    Loop("quality_loop")
    .step(Agent("writer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write draft.").outputs("quality"))
    .step(Agent("reviewer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Review and score."))
    .max_iterations(5)
    .until(lambda s: s.get("quality") == "good")
    .build()
)

# Operator style
loop = (
    Agent("writer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Write draft.").outputs("quality")
    >> Agent("reviewer", "gemini-2.5-flash").instruct("Review and score.")
) * until(lambda s: s.get("quality") == "good", max=5)

Method	Description
.step(agent)	Append a step agent. Lazy -- built at .build() time
.max_iterations(n)	Set maximum loop iterations
.until(pred)	Set exit predicate. Exits when pred(state) is truthy
.build()	Resolve into a native ADK LoopAgent

Combining Builder and Operator Styles

The styles mix freely. Use builders for complex individual steps and operators for composition:

from adk_fluent import Agent, Pipeline, FanOut, S, until, Prompt

# Define reusable agents with full builder configuration
researcher = (
    Agent("researcher", "gemini-2.5-flash")
    .instruct(Prompt().role("You are a research analyst.").task("Find relevant information."))
    .tool(search_tool)
    .before_model(log_fn)
    .outputs("findings")
)

writer = (
    Agent("writer", "gemini-2.5-pro")
    .instruct("Write a report about {findings}.")
    .static("Company style guide: use formal tone, cite sources...")
    .outputs("draft")
)

reviewer = (
    Agent("reviewer", "gemini-2.5-flash")
    .instruct("Score the draft 1-10 for quality.")
    .outputs("quality_score")
)

# Compose with operators — each sub-expression is reusable
research_phase = (
    FanOut("gather")
    .branch(researcher.clone("web").tool(web_search))
    .branch(researcher.clone("papers").tool(paper_search))
)

pipeline = (
    research_phase
    >> S.merge("web", "papers", into="findings")
    >> writer
    >> (reviewer >> writer) * until(lambda s: int(s.get("quality_score", 0)) >= 8, max=3)
)

Presets

Reusable configuration bundles:

from adk_fluent.presets import Preset

production = Preset(model="gemini-2.5-flash", before_model=log_fn, after_model=audit_fn)

agent = Agent("service").instruct("Handle requests.").use(production).build()

@agent Decorator

from adk_fluent.decorators import agent

@agent("weather_bot", model="gemini-2.5-flash")
def weather_bot():
    """You help with weather queries."""

@weather_bot.tool
def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    return f"Sunny in {city}"

built = weather_bot.build()

Typed State Keys

from adk_fluent import StateKey

call_count = StateKey("call_count", scope="session", type=int, default=0)

# In callbacks/tools:
current = call_count.get(ctx)
call_count.increment(ctx)

Run with adk web

Environment Setup

Before running any example, copy the .env.example and fill in your Google Cloud credentials:

cd examples
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your values:
#   GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
#   GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-central1
#   GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=TRUE

Every agent loads these variables automatically via load_dotenv().

Run an Example

cd examples
adk web simple_agent          # Basic agent
adk web weather_agent         # Agent with tools
adk web research_team         # Multi-agent pipeline
adk web real_world_pipeline   # Full expression language
adk web route_branching       # Deterministic routing
adk web delegate_pattern      # LLM-driven delegation

How It Works

adk-fluent is auto-generated from the installed ADK package:

scanner.py ──> manifest.json ──> seed_generator.py ──> seed.toml ──> generator.py ──> Python code
                                      ^
                              seed.manual.toml
                              (hand-crafted extras)

1. Scanner introspects all ADK modules and produces manifest.json
2. Seed Generator classifies classes and produces seed.toml (merged with manual extras)
3. Code Generator emits fluent builders, .pyi type stubs, and test scaffolds

This means adk-fluent automatically stays in sync with ADK updates:

pip install --upgrade google-adk
just all   # Regenerate everything
just test  # Verify

• State transforms: S.pick, S.drop, S.rename, S.default, S.merge, S.transform, S.compute, S.guard
• Full IDE autocomplete via .pyi type stubs
• Zero-maintenance __getattr__ forwarding for any ADK field
• Callback accumulation: multiple .before_model() calls append, not replace
• Typo detection: misspelled methods raise AttributeError with suggestions
• Deterministic routing: Route evaluates predicates against session state (zero LLM calls)
• One-shot execution: .ask(), .stream(), .session(), .map() without Runner boilerplate
• Presets: reusable config bundles via Preset + .use()
• Cloning: .clone() and .with_() for independent variants
• Validation: .validate() catches config errors at definition time
• Serialization: to_dict(), to_yaml(), from_dict(), from_yaml()
• @agent decorator: FastAPI-style agent definition
• Typed state: StateKey with scope, type, and default
