Story

google/agents-cli (~3,100 stars, created April 8) is an official Google CLI plus skills that turn any coding assistant into an expert at creating, evaluating, and iterating on agent skills. Google standardizing skill authoring matters as the format proliferates across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. When the platform owners start shipping the meta-tools, the format is real.
