AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill provides a structured, four-phase workflow for architecting and deploying agentic AI systems on Google Cloud. It leads users through requirements discovery, technical decomposition, architecture design, implementation planning, and validation. The process incorporates specific Google Cloud best practices for security, reliability, and operational excellence, utilizing tools like the Agents CLI and various Google Cloud services to build robust agentic data science workloads.
What it does
- Analyzes workload requirements and constraints to define technical components.
- Selects appropriate agentic design patterns such as coordinator, sequential, or review-and-critique.
- Maps workload components to specific Google Cloud products and features.
- Generates architecture diagrams in Mermaid format.
- Provides Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and deployment instructions using the Agents CLI.
- Defines validation checks and generates scripts to verify the deployed solution.
When to use it
- When architecting multi-product solutions for agent-based data analytics or machine learning workloads.
- When you need to align a cloud architecture with Google Cloud design best practices.
- When you require a systematic plan for deploying and validating an agentic AI system.
Advantages
- Ensures architectural decisions are grounded in official Google Cloud documentation.
- Provides a consistent, repeatable process for complex multi-agent system design.
- Includes specific guidance on security, reliability, and cost optimization for AI agents.
- Facilitates structured validation and testing of agentic deployments.
Usage examples
- “I need to design a multi-agent system for analyzing financial datasets on Google Cloud. Can you help me start the requirements discovery?”
- The agent will initiate Phase 1, asking clarifying questions about data sources, user types, query expectations, and constraints to build a technical decomposition.
- “I have confirmed the technical decomposition for my agentic data science workload. How do I proceed with the architecture design?”
- The agent will move to Phase 2, selecting an agentic design pattern, mapping components to Google Cloud products, and generating a Mermaid architecture diagram.

Workflow
The solution design and implementation workflow consists of the following phases:
Phase 1: Requirements discovery and analysis: Analyze the workload's requirements, constraints, dependencies, and current state.
Phase 2: Solution design: Build a technology stack, architecture, and deployment configuration for the workload based on Google Cloud design best practices and recommendations.
Phase 3: Implementation plan: Generate automation and instructions to deploy the solution.
Phase 4: Solution validation: Validate that the deployment meets the requirements of the workload.
Product Renaming & Terminology
When generating solution designs, architecture diagrams, and documentation, check the latest Google Cloud documentation for the most up-to-date product names. The table below provides examples of name mappings to be aware of. Note that underlying APIs, Terraform resources, and IAM roles may retain their legacy identifiers.
| Legacy Name | Updated Name |
|---|---|
| Vertex AI | Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform |
| Vertex AI Agent Engine | Agent Runtime |
Phase 1: Requirements discovery and analysis
[ ] [ ] Step 1: Discover requirements: Understand the functional and non-functional requirements, business goals, and current state (if any) of the workload by asking clarifying questions. You must halt and wait for the user to answer these questions before proceeding to the Identify components step. Use the following questions to guide this requirements discovery process:
What data sources and data types do you need to access and analyze?
Who are the target end users, and what network access model do you require?
What types of user queries or analytical requests do you expect end users to submit to the system?
What performance, security, or governance constraints apply?
[ ] [ ] Step 2: Identify components: Only after the user has responded to the clarifying questions in the Discover requirements step, analyze their responses to identify the components of the workload and their relationships. Also identify any cross-cloud, hybrid, or on-premises components that the solution needs to integrate with.
[ ] [ ] Step 3: Generate component decomposition: Generate a technical decomposition outlining the technical components of the workload and their relationships.
[ ] [ ] Step 4: Ask for confirmation: Present the technical decomposition and ask the user to confirm if it matches their workload requirements. Do not proceed to Phase 2 until this is confirmed.
[ ] [ ] Step 5: Iterate: If the user requests changes, generate an updated technical decomposition and ask for confirmation again. Continue iterating until the user explicitly confirms the decomposition.
Phase 2: Solution design
[ ] [ ] Step 1: Retrieve relevant Google Cloud documentation: Use available search or fetch tools to read the content of the following Google Cloud documentation to ground the guidance that you generate in the remaining steps of this phase before proceeding.
[ ] [ ] Step 2: Define agentic AI design pattern: Select the appropriate agent design pattern and agent breakdown based on the workload requirements:
Recommended primary pattern: Coordinator pattern.
Alternative patterns:
Single-agent pattern: For simpler workloads scoped to a single data source and direct tool use without multi-agent orchestration overhead.
Sequential or parallel pattern: For deterministic data processing pipelines with predefined, non-adaptive execution steps or concurrent data gathering.
Review and critique pattern: For complex or high-stakes data science tasks that require dedicated critic loops.
[ ] [ ] Step 3: Map components to Google Cloud products: For each component in the confirmed technical decomposition and agentic design pattern, identify the appropriate Google Cloud products and features, based on the guidelines in /references/product-mapping.md.
[ ] [ ] Step 4: Create architecture diagram: Create an architecture diagram that shows the components, their relationships, and data/control flows.
The diagram must be in the Mermaid format: https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid.
The diagram must use component labels and groupings consistent with the official Google Cloud architecture icons.
[ ] [ ] Step 5: Generate design recommendations: Generate design guidance based on the guidelines in /references/design-recommendations.md.
[ ] [ ] Step 6: Draft solution architecture: Compile the requirements, technical decomposition, product mapping, architecture diagram, and design recommendations into a single Markdown file named
solution-architecture-guide.md, based on the template in/assets/output-template.md.[ ] [ ] Step 7: Request review: Present the generated solution architecture to the user and request their feedback or approval. You must halt and wait for the user's explicit approval before proceeding to Phase 3.
[ ] [ ] Step 8: Iterate: If the user requests changes, then generate an updated solution architecture and repeat steps 2-7 in this phase until the user explicitly approves the solution architecture.
Phase 3: Implementation plan
[ ] [ ] Step 1: Retrieve relevant implementation resources:
Important: Use these resources as the technical foundation for the IaC and deployment instructions you generate in the remaining steps of this phase.
[ ] [ ] Step 2: Identify deployment prerequisites: Document prerequisites for the deployment, including the following:
Projects and billing associations
Required Google Cloud APIs
Required IAM permissions
Any other prerequisites
[ ] [ ] Step 3: Generate Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Generate code, such as Terraform, and deployment scripts to automate the provisioning of the proposed Google Cloud resources.
Use Agents CLI commands (
agents-cli scaffold createoragents-cli scaffold enhance) to set up the agent application structure, and deploy the agent to Cloud Run.
[ ] [ ] Step 4: Write deployment instructions: Draft sequential, step-by-step deployment instructions to execute the IaC and initialize the workload components. Update deployment instructions in
solution-architecture-guide.md, based on the template inassets/output-template.md.Use the Agents CLI
agents-cli deploycommand (alongside or instead of raw infrastructure/deployment scripts) to run the agent deployment.
[ ] [ ] Step 5: Request review: Present the generated deployment instructions to the user for feedback and confirmation. You must halt and wait for the user's explicit approval before proceeding to Phase 4.
[ ] [ ] Step 6: Iterate: If the user requests changes, then repeat steps 2-5 to generate an updated implementation plan that the user requested.
[ ] [ ] Step 7: Proceed to the next phase: After the user approves the implementation plan, proceed to Phase 4.
Phase 4: Solution validation
[ ] [ ] Step 1: Retrieve relevant verification resources (optional): If the resources from Phase 3 are not already in your context, retrieve the same implementation resources as the starting point for the validation checks and verification scripts that you generate in this phase.
[ ] [ ] Step 2: Define validation checks: Outline validation steps to verify that the deployed infrastructure meets the workload's requirements:
Deployment dry-run: Commands like
terraform planto preview changes. Include instructions to run agent deployment in dry-run mode (e.g., usingagents-cli deploy --dry-runor-n) to preview steps and Terraform executions before pushing to production.Local testing and quality verification: Recommend using the Agents CLI to run and test agent logic locally (
agents-cli run) and conduct systematic evaluations (agents-cli eval run) to verify agent quality and performance before deploying.Connectivity and routing: Verification of network paths, load balancer routing, and service endpoints.
Security policies: Verification of restricted access, firewall rules, and IAM enforcement.
[ ] [ ] Step 3: Generate verification scripts: Draft lightweight scripts or command-line instructions (e.g. using
curl,gcloud, oragents-cli) that the user can run to perform these validation checks.The validation plan MUST include instructions using the Agents CLI for local runs, evaluations, and post-deployment validation checks (e.g.,
agents-cli run --url <service-url>to test the deployed service endpoint).
[ ] [ ] Step 4: Compile validation report: Document the validation steps, verification scripts, and expected outcomes in a single Markdown file.
[ ] [ ] Step 5: Conduct validation and finalize: Assist the user in executing the validation checks and troubleshooting any deployment issues. After you validate the solution successfully, request final approval from the user.
[ ] [ ] Step 6: Iterate: If the user requests changes, then generate an updated validation plan and repeat the validation drafting and script generation steps in this phase until the user approves the validation plan.
