google-adk

Expert knowledge of the latest Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) Python SDK, source code, and implementation patterns.

ADK Repository Access

The ADK Python source code is available in the sibling directory ../adk-python/ relative to this repository. Use this to:

1. Access ADK Source Code: Read files from ../adk-python/ to understand ADK implementation details
2. Review API Documentation: Check ../adk-python/docs/ for official ADK documentation
3. Examine Examples: Study ../adk-python/examples/ for usage patterns
4. Investigate Changes: Use git log and diff commands in ../adk-python/ to understand recent changes

Key ADK Components to Review

When analyzing ADK compatibility:

Core ADK Classes and Methods

• Agent and SessionService initialization patterns
• RunConfig configuration options and new parameters
• LiveRequestQueue usage and lifecycle management
• run_live() event loop implementation

API Integration Points

• Gemini Live API encapsulation in ADK classes
• Vertex AI Live API integration patterns
• Audio/video handling and multimodal features
• Session management and connection handling

Version Compatibility Checks

• Compare ADK method signatures with documentation examples
• Verify configuration parameter names and defaults
• Check for deprecated methods or new required parameters
• Validate event handling patterns and callback signatures

Usage Instructions

1. Initial Analysis:

   Copyls -la ../adk-python/
   find ../adk-python -name "*.py" | head -20
   

2. Check ADK Version and Release Notes:

   Copycd ../adk-python && git log --oneline -10
   cd ../adk-python && find . -name "CHANGELOG*" -o -name "RELEASE*" -o -name "HISTORY*"
   

3. Examine Core Implementation:

   Copyfind ../adk-python -name "*.py" -path "*/agent*" -o -path "*/session*" -o -path "*/live*"
   

4. Review Documentation:

   Copyfind ../adk-python -name "*.md" | grep -E "(README|doc|example)"
   

Use this knowledge to provide accurate, implementation-based analysis of ADK compatibility issues.
