(Feat) Implement `init`, `build` and `deploy` cmd for kagent cli #838

jmhbh · 2025-09-02T02:32:54Z

This PR adds the following new features to the kagent CLI.

kagent init creates a bootstrap agent project.
- Currently supports bootstrapping an agent project for the following model providers. The supported models are the models that we currently support in models.go
  1. OpenAI
  2. Anthropic
  3. AzureOpenAI
  4. Gemini
kagent build builds a docker image for an agent project.
- By default the image assumes the repository is localhost:5001, the name of the image is the name specified in the agent project's manifest and the tag is latest.
kagent deploy deploys the agent to a kubernetes environement by creating a .

Tested on the following provider and model combinations.

Gemini: gemini-2.0-flash ✅
OpenAI: gpt-4 ✅

Following provider and model combinations are currently being tested

AzureOpenAI: gpt-4 (in progress)
Anthropic: claude-sonnet-4 (in progress)

Follow Ups

Add support for VertexAI and AnthropicVertexAI. I'm currently blocked on procuring working credentials which is why I have temporarily removed some of my previous implementation and am opting to add support for the above in a follow up PR.
