Install agents-cli with uvx to add Gemini platform skills to your coding agent

Who it's for

This guide is for people who want to build agents on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and install the official CLI and skills into an existing coding assistant. The repository describes it as the CLI and skills for building agents on that platform.

Before you start, confirm all three prerequisites are in place: Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js. If any one is missing, do not run the install. The page says it works with Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Codex, and any other coding agent; that is a compatibility note, not an exclusive list, and do not generalize the uvx install into a marketplace install that does not appear.

agents-cli setup installs the CLI and puts skills onto coding agents. The first try only finishes the install and a read-only check; do not deploy or evaluate a live agent that is not named.

Complete a first try in 3 minutes

Use only the recommended install command given on the page:

uvx google-agents-cli setup

Precondition: this machine already has Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js, and you are ready to write the CLI and skills into the coding agent you currently use. The install location is those agents, written by setup, not another path that does not appear on the page.

Side-effect confirmation point: this command installs the CLI and installs skills onto coding agents. If the current environment is not the agent you intend to change, or the three prerequisites are not fully checked, stop first. Confirm that, then run it.

Success signal: the command finishes normally, and the corresponding agent can see the newly installed skills or a usable CLI. Then do only a check: in a compatible agent, open that skill description and confirm it recognizes Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform related skills. Do not create, evaluate, or deploy any cloud agent. If a wizard is about to continue into deploy, stop at the confirmation point.

Use cases

Case 1: Complete CLI and skill install with the official command. First confirm Python 3.11+, uv, and Node.js are available, then run uvx google-agents-cli setup. The evidence covers this install command, and that agents-cli setup will “Install CLI + skills to coding agents”. The completion criterion stops at a successful install and the agent being able to see the skills. Do not add upgrade or uninstall commands that do not appear.

Case 2: After install, do a read-only recognition check rather than going live. The page positions this tool as the CLI and skills for building agents on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and lists that it works with Antigravity CLI, Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents. The excerpt does not give create or deploy commands, so the first time only confirm in one agent that already has the skills that they are loaded. The observable success signal is that the skill description is visible. Do not read “and any other coding agent” as meaning every unnamed environment has a verified install.

Limits

The primary install path is only uvx google-agents-cli setup. Do not install if Python 3.11+, uv, or Node.js is missing. The listed agents are not the exclusive supported range. setup changes skill files on the agent side; deploy and evaluate are not in this excerpt’s commands. Paths and permissions that are not written there cannot be treated as a safety conclusion.
