Antigravity (AGY) Guide & Architecture Reference
Purity rules: Pure open documentation; no API keys, internal tokens, or closed endpoints.
This skill provides an authoritative operational reference for working with the Google Antigravity (AGY) ecosystem, covering the CLI, modern agent capabilities, slash command workflows, sidecars, and IDE features.
When to Use
- Configuring or diagnosing Antigravity CLI (
agy) or Antigravity IDE workspaces. - Authoring custom slash commands, agent modes, or persistent background tasks.
- Integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and subagent topologies.
- Troubleshooting terminal persistence, persistent runtimes, or task managers.
