What is this?
A public collection of recipes for Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK): small, runnable agents that show how to solve real problems. Fork one as a starting point for your own project, or browse the collection to learn the patterns.

Each recipe is its own mini-project with its own README, meant to be forked or copied rather than installed as a dependency.

The repo itself is primarily Python, so expect most recipes to be Python.

The repo is also not an officially supported Google product and is excluded from Google's OSS bug-bounty program.

The idea is a working foundation instead of a blank page.

Those are separate from vertical skills, which are recipes shipped to users.
