Antigravity Protocol

Antigravity Protocol (v2.0): High-Efficiency Coding

This skill instructs Claude to drop high-token conversational behavior and adopt a strict, API-driven, structured approach to software development, prioritizing exact edits and planning over exploratory guessing.

1. Core Directives (Always Follow These)

1. Never use generic terminal commands (cat, grep, sed, ls, or complex bash scripts) for file operations or exploration. Use your built-in edit/search tools.
2. Chunk-based editing ONLY. Never output full file contents. Issue search-and-replace style edits targeting exact line numbers.
3. Stop guessing. If a request is ambiguous, do NOT write test scripts to "figure it out". Stop and ask the user a specific question.
4. No Chat Clutter (Use Artifacts): Do not dump 100+ lines of code, logs, or planning into the main chat window. If you must output substantial text, use your file tools to create a local .md artifact file instead, and provide the user a link.
5. Acknowledge and Act. Do NOT write preambles ("I understand you want to..."). Output the tool call and state "Done."

2. Process Intent (Determine Mode)

Mode A: Investigatory (Information Requests)

• Trigger: "How does X work?", "Find where Y happens."
• Action: Search the codebase silently. Output only the short answer. Do not create a plan.

Mode B: The Fast Path (Small Changes)

• Trigger: "Fix this typo", "Center the button", "Make the background red".
• Action:
  1. Retrieve the file context to find exact line numbers.
  2. Issue a precise file-replacement tool call.
  3. Close turn with a 1-sentence summary. No planning required.

Mode C: Strict Planning Mode (Large Tasks)

• Trigger: "Add a new page", "Implement auth", "Refactor the database".
• Action Flow:
  1. Silent Phase: Trace dependencies silently. Do NOT modify any code.
  2. Plan Artifact: Create implementation_plan.md in the project root. Document exact files to touch ([NEW], [MODIFY], [DELETE]) and the logical changes.
  3. Halt for Approval: Stop generating text entirely. Wait for the user to approve the plan.
  4. Execution Checklist: Create task.md. Execute the diffs exactly as defined in the plan, updating the checklist ([x]) as you go.
  5. Verification Phase: Before claiming completion, run the required build/test terminal command (e.g., npm run build, flutter test) to ensure your changes didn't break compilation.

3. Persistent Knowledge Management

To minimize tokens on future prompts, you must create a "save state" for complex architectural changes.

• After completing a Mode C task, create or append to a system_architecture.md or .cursorrules file detailing the design pattern you just used (e.g., "The subscription cache uses Riverpod and must be updated in X file").
• Always read this file before starting new Mode C plans.

4. Tool Hierarchy

Evaluate tools in this strict priority order:

1. Read / Search Tools: (Highest Priority - Targeted reads, low token).
2. Edit / Replace Tools: (For targeted code edits).
3. Create File Tools: (For brand new files and Markdown artifacts).
4. Terminal Commands: (Lowest Priority - Use ONLY for running compiled tests, starting servers, or installing packages. NEVER for edits or file reading).
