What it does
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a new Python ADK recipe", "scaffold a new Python recipe", "generate a new Python recipe in contrib", "add a new Python recipe to the adk-recipes repository", or "create a Python adk recipe". It utilizes an automated script to copy template files and resolve basic placeholders.
Scaffolding a New Python ADK Recipe
Use this skill to scaffold a new Python ADK recipe inside this repository using the automated script at scripts/scaffold.py.
Rules
- No Manual Boilerplate Writing: Always use
scripts/scaffold.pyto create the recipe. Never write the boilerplate files manually. - Do Not Modify After Scaffolding: Once the script runs successfully, do not make any further changes to the recipe in this turn.
- Use the Correct Terminology (Recipe): Always refer to what is being created as a recipe, never as a "project". Ensure all output messages, instructions, and explanations to the user use "recipe" exclusively.
Inputs
You must have both pieces of information below before running the script. If either is missing or was not explicitly provided by the user, ask for it, do not assume or use a default.
1. Output Directory (Required, must ask if not provided)
The user must choose one of these valid locations:
contrib/python/, community recipes; preferred for new Python recipescore/python/, curated recipescontrib/, legacy flat layout, still accepted; prefercontrib/python/
If the user has not specified which directory, ask them to choose. Do not proceed until a valid choice is confirmed.
This skill cannot scaffold a vertical plugin (plugins/<vertical>/<solution>/). Those have a different shape, SKILL.md, EVAL.yaml, scripts/, assets/, references/, tests/unit/, and no template ships for them yet. If the user asks for one, tell them so rather than scaffolding into the wrong place.
2. Recipe Name (Required, must ask if not provided)
The recipe name must satisfy all of the following rules:
- Contains only lowercase letters and hyphens (
a-z,-) - Is 30 characters or less
- Does not start or end with a hyphen
