The skill
The google agents cli scaffold skill by Google creates, enhances and upgrades agent projects with agents-cli scaffold: templates, deployment targets, CI/CD runners, session storage and the prototype-first pattern.
Only when you ask.
The habit
Agent projects stay on current templates.
↻ Runs by itselfmonthly template upgrade
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one project upgrade per run.
- 01
Load the workflow
Your agent loads google-agents-cli-workflow for the rules it must follow.
- 02
Preview
It runs agents-cli scaffold upgrade --dry-run to list the files that would change.
- 03
Ask you
It shows the changes and waits for your yes before applying them.
- 04
Upgrade
It runs agents-cli scaffold upgrade, and uses --force only when smart-merge fails.
- 05
Clean up
It lists files and dependencies the new template dropped, for you to remove by hand.
- 06
Verify
It checks imports, runs the tests and runs agents-cli run with a test prompt.
- 07
Log
It writes the version and changed files to the upgrade log.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Google Agents CLI Scaffold skill, answered.
Does the upgrade touch my agent code?
Smart-merge keeps your changes. Even --force keeps agent code, config, README.md, the guidance file and eval data.
Can this skill create a new project?
Yes, with agents-cli scaffold create, after the requirements phase. That part is a one-off, not this loop.
Will it push to a Git remote?
No. The skill never creates a repo or pushes without asking.
How do I install the Google Agents CLI Scaffold skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from google/agents-cli and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add google/agents-cli --skill google-agents-cli-scaffold.
Is the Google Agents CLI Scaffold skill free?
Yes. It is published under Apache-2.0. Habit is free too.
