 "outcome": "A working root_agent you can run from the terminal or debug in the ADK web UI.",
 "steps": [
  "Install with `pip install google-adk` (Python 3.11+)",
  "Create an Agent with a name, model and instruction, as in the Quick Start, and assign it to root_agent",
  "Chat with it in the terminal with `adk run path/to/my_agent`",
  "Open the development UI with `adk web path/to/agents_dir` to test, debug and showcase it",
  "Add optional integrations with `pip install \"google-adk[extensions]\"` when you need them"
