# Initialize a project

> Create and test a managed ADK or LangGraph agent project.

Create a managed agent, prepare its isolated environment, and run the generated tests.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a framework">
    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash ADK theme={null}
      harnest init support-agent --framework adk
      ```

      ```bash LangGraph theme={null}
      harnest init support-agent --framework langgraph
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    The default scaffold is a small, runnable managed agent. Add `--example` to include working graphs, tools, plugins, skills, extensions, evals, and tests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Synchronize the project environment">
    ```bash theme={null}
    harnest env sync support-agent
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the offline tests">
    ```bash theme={null}
    harnest test support-agent
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

| Output            | Purpose                          |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `agent.py`        | Root agent or graph              |
| `instructions.md` | Agent instructions               |
| `config.yaml`     | Framework and project settings   |
| `server.yaml`     | Local server settings            |
| `tests/`          | Offline and optional live checks |

<Note>
  `compile`, `test`, and `serve` sync the environment automatically. Add only your provider, tool, and library packages to `pyproject.toml`; Harnest owns the framework dependency.
