Google Anti-Gravity
The official fork of VS Code built by Google for the next generation of agentic coding. It's not just an editor — it's a cockpit.
Required Tools
The Vibe
Most AI tools are chatbots stuck in a sidebar. Antigravity is different. It treats the AI as a collaborator that can independently navigate your files, run commands, and verify its own work.
You are the pilot; the AI is the engine.
Lift Off
Download and install the Antigravity IDE
From antigravity.google
Get your Gemini API Key
From Google AI Studio
Enter your key in settings
Open Antigravity and configure your API key
Pro Tip: Use Ctrl + Shift + P and type "Antigravity: Sign In" to link your account
Agentic Mode
This is the killer feature. Instead of typical chat, you enter Agentic Mode.
Goal
Give high-level objectives: "Refactor the auth system", "Fix the bug in the payment flow"
Plan
The agent creates a task.md and implementation_plan.md to map out the work
Execute
It writes code, creates files, and even runs terminal commands to install packages
The Tools
Antigravity comes with superpowers out of the box:
Browser Subagent
It can open a headless browser to test your web app, click buttons, and verify UI changes
Terminal Control
It can run npm install, git commit, or run your test suite
Vision
It can "see" your app to make CSS adjustments based on screenshots
Verification
Trust, but verify. The agent will proactively run tests or check the browser to confirm its changes worked.
Your job is to review the Artifacts (the docs it creates) and give the final thumbs up.
Pro Tips
Be the Architect
Don't tell it how to write the function. Tell it what the function should achieve.
Use Artifacts
Read the implementation_plan.md. It's your blueprint. If the plan is wrong, the code will be wrong.
Vibe Check
If the agent gets stuck, use the notify_user tool (it will ask you) to unblock it with your human intuition.
