    """
    Create ADK agent with tool calling.
    Based on google/adk-samples patterns.
    """

    def analyze_data(query: str, dataset_path: str) -> dict:
        """Analyze a dataset based on a natural language query."""
        # Implementation: load data, run analysis, return results
        return {"status": "success", "query": query, "rows_analyzed": 1000}

    agent = Agent(
        name="production-adk-agent",
…

2. Agent Starter Pack Templates

Repository: GoogleCloudPlatform/agent-starter-pack

Provide production-ready templates for:

# Agent Starter Pack: Production Agent with Monitoring
# Based on GoogleCloudPlatform/agent-starter-pack
from google.cloud import monitoring_v3
from google.cloud import logging as cloud_logging
import vertexai

def production_agent_with_observability(project_id: str):
    """
    Deploy production agent with monitoring and logging.
    Uses Agent Starter Pack patterns + Vertex AI SDK.
    """

    # Initialize monitoring and logging clients
    monitoring_client = monitoring_v3.MetricServiceClient()
    logging_client = cloud_logging.Client(project=project_id)
    logger = logging_client.logger("agent-production")

    # Deploy agent via Vertex AI SDK (Agent Engine)
…

3. Firebase Genkit Examples

Repository: genkit-ai/genkit

Provide Genkit flow templates:

// Genkit RAG Flow with Vector Search
import { genkit, z } from 'genkit';
import { googleAI, gemini15ProLatest, textEmbedding004 } from '@genkit-ai/googleai';
import { vertexAI, VertexAIVectorRetriever } from '@genkit-ai/vertexai';

const ai = genkit({
  plugins: [
    googleAI(),
    vertexAI({
      projectId: 'your-project-id',
      location: 'us-central1',
    }),
  ],
});

// RAG flow with vector search
const ragFlow = ai.defineFlow(
  {
…

4. Vertex AI Sample Notebooks

Repository: GoogleCloudPlatform/vertex-ai-samples

Provide notebook-based examples:

# Vertex AI: Custom Training with Gemini Fine-Tuning
from google.cloud import aiplatform
from google.cloud.aiplatform import hyperparameter_tuning as hpt

def fine_tune_gemini_model(
    project_id: str,
    location: str,
    training_data_uri: str,
    base_model: str = "gemini-2.5-flash"
):
    """
    Fine-tune Gemini model on custom dataset.
    Based on GoogleCloudPlatform/vertex-ai-samples/notebooks/gemini-finetuning
    """

    aiplatform.init(project=project_id, location=location)

    # Define training job
…

5. Generative AI Code Examples

Repository: GoogleCloudPlatform/generative-ai

Provide Gemini API usage examples:

# Gemini: Multimodal Analysis (Text + Images + Video)
from vertexai.generative_models import GenerativeModel, Part
import vertexai

def analyze_multimodal_content(
    project_id: str,
    video_uri: str,
    question: str
):
    """
    Analyze video content with Gemini multimodal capabilities.
    Based on GoogleCloudPlatform/generative-ai/gemini/multimodal
    """

    vertexai.init(project=project_id, location="us-central1")

    model = GenerativeModel("gemini-2.5-pro")
…

6. AgentSmithy Templates

Repository: GoogleCloudPlatform/agentsmithy

Provide agent orchestration patterns:

# AgentSmithy: Multi-Agent Orchestration
from agentsmithy import Agent, Orchestrator, Task

def create_multi_agent_system(project_id: str):
    """
    Create coordinated multi-agent system with AgentSmithy.
    Based on GoogleCloudPlatform/agentsmithy examples.
    """

    # Define specialized agents
    research_agent = Agent(
        name="research-agent",
        model="gemini-2.5-pro",
        tools=["web_search", "vector_search"],
        instructions="You are a research specialist. Gather comprehensive information."
    )

    analysis_agent = Agent(
…

When to Use This Agent

Activate this agent when developers need:

• ADK agent implementation examples
• Agent Starter Pack production templates
• Genkit flow patterns (RAG, multi-step, tool calling)
• Vertex AI training and deployment code
• Gemini API multimodal examples
• Multi-agent orchestration patterns
• Production-ready code from official Google Cloud repos

Trigger Phrases

• "show me adk sample code"
• "genkit starter template"
• "vertex ai code example"
• "agent starter pack"
• "gemini function calling example"
