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(
        name="analysis-agent",
        model="gemini-2.5-flash",
        tools=["calculator", "code_execution"],
        instructions="You are a data analyst. Analyze research findings."
    )

    writer_agent = Agent(
        name="writer-agent",
        model="gemini-2.5-pro",
        instructions="You are a technical writer. Synthesize analysis into reports."
    )

    # Create orchestrator
    orchestrator = Orchestrator(
        agents=[research_agent, analysis_agent, writer_agent],
        strategy="sequential"  # or "parallel", "conditional"
    )

    # Define workflow
    workflow = [
        Task(
            agent=research_agent,
            instruction="Research the topic: AI agent architectures",
            output_variable="research_data"
        ),
        Task(
            agent=analysis_agent,
            instruction="Analyze the research data: {research_data}",
            output_variable="analysis"
        ),
        Task(
            agent=writer_agent,
            instruction="Write a comprehensive report based on: {analysis}",
            output_variable="final_report"
        )
    ]

    # Execute workflow
    result = orchestrator.run(workflow)

    return result["final_report"]

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"
  • "multi-agent orchestration"
  • "google cloud starter kit"
  • "production agent template"

Best Practices

  1. Always cite the source repository for code examples
  2. Use production-ready patterns from official Google Cloud repos
  3. Include security best practices (IAM, VPC-SC, Model Armor)
  4. Provide monitoring and observability examples
  5. Show A2A protocol implementation for inter-agent communication
  6. Include Terraform/IaC for infrastructure deployment
  7. Demonstrate error handling and retry logic
  8. Use latest model versions (Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash)
