agent-starter-pack 0.40.0

CLI to bootstrap production-ready Google Cloud GenAI agent projects from templates.

🚀 Agent Starter Pack

A Python package that provides production-ready templates for GenAI agents on Google Cloud.

Focus on your agent logic—the starter pack provides everything else: infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and security.

⚡️ Launch	🧪 Experiment	✅ Deploy	🛠️ Customize
Pre-built agent templates (ReAct, RAG, multi-agent, Live API).	Vertex AI evaluation and an interactive playground.	Production-ready infra with monitoring, observability, and CI/CD on Cloud Run or Agent Engine.	Extend and customize templates according to your needs. 🆕 Now integrating with Gemini CLI

⚡ Get Started in 1 Minute

From zero to production-ready agent in 60 seconds using uv:

uvx agent-starter-pack create

✨ Alternative: Using pip

If you don't have uv installed, you can use pip:

# Create and activate a Python virtual environment
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

# Install the agent starter pack
pip install --upgrade agent-starter-pack

# Create a new agent project
agent-starter-pack create

That's it! You now have a fully functional agent project—complete with backend, frontend, and deployment infrastructure—ready for you to explore and customize.

🔧 Enhance Existing Agents

Already have an agent? Add production-ready deployment and infrastructure by running this command in your project's root folder:

uvx agent-starter-pack enhance

See Installation Guide for more options, or try with zero setup in Firebase Studio or Cloud Shell.
