Google ADK Go

google.golang.org/adk@v0.6.0

Version Lock

1. Confirm you are targeting ADK Go

   v0.6.0

   before applying patterns.
2. Read references/00-source-lock.md for commit pin, release date, and release notes.
3. If the user asks for a newer version, stop and call out that this skill is intentionally pinned to

   v0.6.0

   .

Fast Path

1. Start with references/01-quickstart.md to scaffold a minimal runnable app.
2. Use references/12-cookbook.md for copy-ready patterns.
3. Pull exact signatures and field behavior from references/api-go-doc.md when implementing.

Workflow

1. Choose app shape:

• Single LLM agent: references/03-llm-agent-config.md
• Multi-agent workflow: references/06-workflow-and-multi-agent.md
• Tool-heavy design: references/04-tools.md

1. Choose persistence model:

• In-memory: references/05-state-session-memory-artifacts.md
• Database/Vertex AI session services: references/05-state-session-memory-artifacts.md

1. Choose serving interface:

• Console/web launchers and flags: references/07-serving-a2a-rest-web.md
• REST routes and behavior: references/07-serving-a2a-rest-web.md
• A2A local/remote agents: references/07-serving-a2a-rest-web.md

1. Add cross-cutting concerns:

• Plugins and callbacks: references/08-plugins-telemetry.md
• Telemetry setup: references/08-plugins-telemetry.md
• Cloud Run deploy CLI: references/09-deployment-cloudrun.md

1. Apply guardrails:

• Best practices checklist: references/10-best-practices.md
• Failure handling: references/11-troubleshooting.md

Operating Rules

1. Keep code and commands pinned to

   v0.6.0

   unless the user explicitly requests upgrading.
2. Prefer patterns already present in official

   examples/

   and exported package docs.
3. Call out behavior that is marked experimental in source comments (for example, tool confirmation wrappers).
4. For uncertain behavior, verify against references/api-go-doc.md before coding.
