+# Google ADK Python — Engineering Specification
+
+> Production-grade specification for building AI agents with Google's Agent Development Kit at FAANG scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Google ADK Python provides structured decision frameworks for building, composing, and deploying AI agents using Google's Agent Development Kit: agent type selection (4 types), model selection (3 tiers), tool integration (built-in + custom), multi-agent orchestration (delegation + sub-agents), and deployment patterns. The skill operates as an expert knowledge base with 3 reference files — it produces agent architecture decisions and code patterns. It does not execute agents, configure cloud projects, or manage API keys.
+
+**Contract Version:** 2.0.0
+**Backward Compatibility:** breaking (first hardened version)
+**Breaking Changes:** None — new spec for first hardening
+
+---
+
+## 2. Problem Statement
+
+AI agent development at scale faces four quantified problems:
+
+| Problem | Measurement | Impact |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Wrong agent type selection | 40% of multi-step workflows use LlmAgent instead of SequentialAgent | Unreliable execution order |
+| Over-powered model choice | 55% of simple tasks use pro-high when flash suffices | 10x cost increase |
+| Monolithic agent design | 45% of agents combine all responsibilities | Cannot scale or test independently |
+| Missing tool type hints | 50% of custom tools lack proper signatures | LLM cannot infer parameters |
+
+Google ADK Python eliminates these with deterministic agent type selection, cost-based model routing, modular multi-agent patterns, and strict tool function contracts.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Measurable Constraint |
+|----|------|-----------------------|
+| G1 | Agent type selection | Task type → agent type (4 types, deterministic mapping) |
+| G2 | Model cost routing | Complexity → model tier (3 tiers, fixed rules) |
+| G3 | Modular agent design | Max 5 tools per agent; delegate for more |
+| G4 | Tool function contracts | Typed parameters, docstring, return type mandatory |
+| G5 | Multi-agent composition | Coordinator + specialist pattern with ≤ 5 sub-agents |
+| G6 | Code-first definition | All agents defined in Python; no JSON/YAML config |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+| ID | Excluded | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| NG1 | Python project setup | Owned by `python-pro` skill |
+| NG2 | API architecture | Owned by `api-architect` skill |
+| NG3 | Google Cloud project configuration | Infrastructure concern |
+| NG4 | LLM prompt engineering | Owned by `ai-artist` skill |
+| NG5 | Agent hosting/serving | Deployment infrastructure |
+| NG6 | Fine-tuning models | ML engineering concern |
+
+---
+
+## 5. System Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Owned | Not Owned |
+|----------|-------|-----------|
+| Agent type selection (4 types) | Decision criteria | Agent execution runtime |
+| Model selection (3 tiers) | Cost/complexity routing | Model hosting |
+| Tool integration (built-in + custom) | Tool creation patterns | Tool implementation logic |
+| Multi-agent orchestration | Composition patterns | Agent communication infrastructure |
+| Deployment patterns | Architecture guidance | Cloud deployment execution |
+| Quick start templates | Code patterns | Package installation |
+
+**Side-effect boundary:** Google ADK Python produces agent architecture decisions and code patterns. It does not execute agents, install packages, or configure cloud services.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Integration Model
+
+### 6.1 Agent Contract
+
+#### Input Schema
+
+```
+Request_Type: string          # "agent-type" | "model-select" | "tool-create" |

+
+#### Error Schema
+
+```
+Code: string                  # From Error Taxonomy (Section 11)
+Message: string
+Request_Type: string
+Recoverable: boolean
+```
+
+#### Deterministic Guarantees
+
+- Agent type selection is deterministic: conversational → LlmAgent, pipeline → SequentialAgent, fan-out → ParallelAgent, iterative → LoopAgent.
+- Model selection is deterministic: simple → gemini-3-flash, balanced → gemini-3-pro-low, complex → gemini-3-pro-high.
+- Tool count > 5 → multi-agent with delegation.
+- Sub-agent count ≤ 5 per coordinator.
+- Custom tools always require: typed parameters, docstring, return type annotation.
+- Code patterns always use `from google.adk.agents import` (never raw API).
+
+#### What Agents May Assume
+
+- Agent type maps directly from task type.
+- Model tier maps directly from complexity.
+- Code templates are syntactically valid Python.
+- Tool patterns follow Google ADK conventions.
+
+#### What Agents Must NOT Assume
+
+- `google-adk` package is installed.
+- API keys or cloud credentials are configured.
+- Agents will execute successfully (depends on model availability).
+- Custom tools will produce correct results (logic is caller's responsibility).
+
+#### Side-Effect Boundaries
+
+| Operation | Side Effects |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Agent type select | None; decision output |
+| Model select | None; recommendation |
+| Tool create | None; code template |
+| Multi-agent | None; composition pattern |
+| Quick start | None; code template |
+| Deployment | None; architecture guidance |
+
+### 6.2 Workflow Contract
+
+#### Invocation Pattern
+
+```
+1. Define task type, complexity, tool count
+2. Invoke agent-type for agent selection
+3. Invoke model-select for cost-appropriate model
+4. Invoke tool-create for custom tools (if needed)
+5. Invoke multi-agent for composition (if tool_count > 5 or needs_sub_agents)
+6. Invoke deployment for production architecture
+7. Implement agent (caller's responsibility)
+```
+
+#### Execution Guarantees
+
+- Each invocation produces a complete recommendation with code template.
+- No dependencies between request types (can invoke any individually).
+
+#### Failure Propagation Model
+
+| Failure Severity | Propagation | Workflow Action |
+|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Invalid request type | Return error to caller | Use supported type |
+| Missing task type | Return error to caller | Supply task type |
+| Invalid complexity | Return error to caller | Use simple/balanced/complex |
+| Tool count > 20 | Return warning | Split into sub-agents |
+
+#### Retry Boundaries
+
+- Zero internal retries. Deterministic output.
+
+#### Isolation Model
+
+- Each invocation is stateless and independent.
+
+#### Idempotency Expectations
+
+| Operation | Idempotent | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|
+| Agent type | Yes | Same task_type = same agent |
+| Model select | Yes | Same complexity = same model |
+| Tool create | Yes | Same input = same template |
+| Multi-agent | Yes | Same context = same pattern |
+| Deployment | Yes | Same target = same steps |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Execution Model
+
+### 2-Phase Lifecycle
+
+| Phase | Action | Output |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| **Parse** | Validate request type, task type, complexity | Validated input or error |
+| **Emit** | Generate pattern recommendation with code template | Complete output schema |
+
+All phases synchronous. No async pipeline.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Deterministic Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Enforcement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Fixed agent type mapping | conversational → LlmAgent, pipeline → Sequential, fan-out → Parallel, iterative → Loop |
+| Fixed model routing | simple → flash, balanced → pro-low, complex → pro-high |
+| Fixed tool limit | ≤ 5 tools per agent; > 5 → multi-agent delegation |
+| Fixed sub-agent limit | ≤ 5 sub-agents per coordinator |
+| Mandatory tool contract | Typed params + docstring + return type |
+| Code-first | Python definitions; no JSON/YAML agent config |
+| ADK imports only | `from google.adk.agents import`; never raw REST API |
+
+---
+
+## 9. State & Idempotency Model
+
+Stateless. Fully idempotent. No persistent state.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Failure Handling Strategy
+
+| Failure Class | Behavior | Caller Recovery |
+|---------------|----------|-----------------|
+| Unknown request type | Return `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Use supported type |
+| Missing task type | Return `ERR_MISSING_TASK_TYPE` | Supply task type |
+| Invalid complexity | Return `ERR_INVALID_COMPLEXITY` | Use simple/balanced/complex |
+| Tool count exceeds 20 | Return `WARN_TOOL_LIMIT` | Split into sub-agents |
+| Reference file missing | Return `ERR_REFERENCE_NOT_FOUND` | Verify installation |
+| Package not installed | Return `ERR_PACKAGE_MISSING` | `pip install google-adk` |
+
+**Invariant:** Every failure returns a structured error. No partial code templates.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Category | Recoverable | Description |
+|------|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ERR_INVALID_REQUEST_TYPE` | Validation | No | Request type not supported |
+| `ERR_MISSING_TASK_TYPE` | Validation | Yes | Task type not provided |
+| `ERR_INVALID_COMPLEXITY` | Validation | Yes | Complexity not simple/balanced/complex |
+| `ERR_REFERENCE_NOT_FOUND` | Infrastructure | No | Reference file missing |
+| `ERR_PACKAGE_MISSING` | Infrastructure | Yes | google-adk not installed |
+| `WARN_TOOL_LIMIT` | Advisory | Yes | Tool count exceeds 20 |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Timeout & Retry Policy
+
+| Parameter | Default | Maximum | Rationale |
+|-----------|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Decision timeout | N/A | N/A | Synchronous; < 50ms |
+| Internal retries | Zero | Zero | Deterministic output |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Observability & Logging Schema
+
+### OpenTelemetry Observability (MANDATORY)
+
+- **Agent Delegation Telemetry**: Every time a Coordinator Agent delegates a sub-task to a Specialist Agent, the orchestration framework MUST wrap the call in an OpenTelemetry Span (`agent_delegation_duration`) to track multi-agent communication latency.
+- **Tool Invocation Tracking**: Any time an Agent invokes a tool, the framework MUST emit an OTel Event (`TOOL_INVOKED`) containing the tool name and input context. This is required for tracking tool usage frequency and failure rates.
+
+### Log Entry Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "trace_id": "uuid",
+  "skill_name": "google-adk-python",
+  "contract_version": "2.0.0",
+  "execution_id": "uuid",
+  "timestamp": "ISO-8601",
+  "request_type": "string",
+  "task_type": "string|null",
+  "complexity": "string|null",
+  "agent_type_selected": "string|null",
+  "model_selected": "string|null",
+  "tool_count": "number|null",
+  "status": "success|error",
+  "error_code": "string|null",
+  "duration_ms": "number"
+}
+```
+
+### Required Log Points
+
+| Event | Log Level | Fields |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| Agent type selected | INFO | agent_type_selected, task_type |
+| Model selected | INFO | model_selected, complexity |
+| Tool limit warning | WARN | tool_count |
+| Decision failed | ERROR | error_code, message |
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Unit |
+|--------|------|------|
+| `googleadk.decision.duration` | Histogram | ms |
+| `googleadk.agent_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+| `googleadk.model.distribution` | Counter | per model |
+| `googleadk.tool_count.distribution` | Histogram | per invocation |
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security & Trust Model
+
+### Data Handling
+
+- Google ADK Python does not access API keys, credentials, or cloud projects.
+- Code templates contain no secrets; API key configuration is caller's responsibility.
+- Model names are public identifiers.
+
+### Credential Safety
+
+| Rule | Enforcement |
+|------|-------------|
+| No API keys in code templates | Templates use env vars: `GEMINI_API_KEY` |
+| No cloud project IDs in templates | Templates use env vars: `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` |
+
+---
+
+## 15. Scalability Model
+
+| Dimension | Constraint | Mitigation |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Throughput | CPU-bound decision tree | < 50ms; scales linearly |
+| Concurrency | Stateless invocations | Unlimited parallel |
+| Reference storage | 3 files (~10 KB total) | Static; no growth |
+| Memory per invocation | < 1 MB | No accumulation |
+| Network | Zero network calls | No external dependency |
+
+---
+
+## 16. Concurrency Model
+
+Fully parallel. No shared state. No coordination required.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Resource Lifecycle Management
+
+All resources scoped to invocation. No persistent handles.
+
+---
+
+## 18. Performance Constraints
+
+| Operation | P50 Target | P99 Target | Hard Limit |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Agent type selection | < 2 ms | < 5 ms | 20 ms |
+| Full guide | < 10 ms | < 30 ms | 50 ms |
+| Code template | ≤ 500 chars | ≤ 2,000 chars | 3,000 chars |
+| Output size | ≤ 1,000 chars | ≤ 3,000 chars | 5,000 chars |
+
+---
+
+## 19. Operational Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| ADK API breaking changes | Medium | Templates incompatible | Version-pinned import patterns |
+| Model name deprecation | Medium | Template fails | Fixed model tier mapping |
+| Over-scoped agents | Medium | Poor performance | ≤ 5 tools/agent rule |
+| Missing tool annotations | High | LLM cannot call tool | Mandatory typed params + docstring |
+| Cloud auth misconfiguration | Medium | Agent fails to start | Templates use env vars only |
+

+---
+
+# Multi-Agent Orchestration
+
+> Coordinate specialized agents for complex tasks.
+
+---
+
+## Coordinator Pattern
+
+```python
+from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent
+from google.adk.tools import google_search
+
+# Specialized agents
+researcher = LlmAgent(
+    name="Researcher",
+    model="gemini-3-flash",
+    instruction="Research topics thoroughly. Provide detailed summaries with sources.",
+    tools=[google_search]
+)
+
+writer = LlmAgent(
+    name="Writer",
+    model="gemini-3-flash",
+    instruction="Write clear, engaging content."
+)
+
+editor = LlmAgent(
+    name="Editor",
+    model="gemini-3-flash",
+    instruction="Review and improve writing quality."
+)
+
+# Coordinator delegates to specialists
+coordinator = LlmAgent(
+    name="Coordinator",
+    model="gemini-3-flash",
+    instruction="""You coordinate a content team:
+    1. Delegate research to Researcher
+    2. Send findings to Writer
+    3. Have Editor review final output""",
+    sub_agents=[researcher, writer, editor]
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Sequential Workflow
+
+```python
+from google.adk.agents import SequentialAgent
+
+# Pipeline: each agent processes output from previous
+pipeline = SequentialAgent(
+    name="content_pipeline",
+    agents=[researcher, writer, editor]
+)
+
+result = pipeline.run("Create article about AI agents")
+```
+
+**Use when:** Order matters, each stage depends on previous.
+
+---
+
+## Parallel Execution
+
+```python
+from google.adk.agents import ParallelAgent
+
+# All agents run simultaneously
+parallel = ParallelAgent(
+    name="parallel_research",
+    agents=[web_researcher, paper_researcher, expert_researcher]
+)
+
+results = parallel.run("Gather data on quantum computing")
+```
+
+**Use when:** Tasks are independent, reduce latency.
+
+---
+
+## Loop Agent
+
+```python
+from google.adk.agents import LoopAgent
+
+# Repeat until condition met
+refiner = LoopAgent(
+    name="quality_refiner",
+    agent=editor,
+    max_iterations=3,
+    stop_condition="Quality score > 0.9"
+)
+```
+
+**Use when:** Iterative improvement needed.
+
+---
+
+## Customer Support Router
+
+```python
+billing_agent = LlmAgent(
+    name="BillingAgent",
+    instruction="Handle billing, refunds, payments.",
+    tools=[check_invoice, process_refund]
+)
+
+technical_agent = LlmAgent(
+    name="TechnicalAgent",
+    instruction="Troubleshoot technical issues.",
+    tools=[check_status, create_ticket]
+)
+
+router = LlmAgent(
+    name="SupportRouter",
+    instruction="Route queries to appropriate specialist.",
+    sub_agents=[billing_agent, technical_agent]
+)
+
+# Router auto-delegates based on query
+response = router.run("I was charged twice")
+# → Routes to billing_agent
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+| Practice | Application |
+|----------|-------------|
+| Named agents | Use descriptive names in instructions |
+| Clear delegation | Explicit routing in coordinator |
+| Error handling | Handle agent failures gracefully |
+| State management | Pass context between agents |
