Google Antigravity's March 2026 update introduced AgentKit 2.0, a revolutionary framework featuring 16 specialized agents with 40+ skills and 11 commands. This evolution transforms Antigravity from a code generation tool into a full-team collaboration system. This guide equips you with deep knowledge of each agent's specialization and practical strategies for integrating them into your production workflows.

Agent Implementation Patterns in Practice
The UI Component Specialist in Action
Let's walk through a real-world scenario: generating a button component from a Figma design.
// agentkit.config.json
{
"agents": {
"ui-specialist": {
"type": "UI Component Specialist",
"framework": "React",
"skills": [
"figma-to-code",
"accessibility-validation",
"responsive-testing",
"storybook-generation"
],
"constraints": {
"target": "React 18+",
"styling": "Tailwind CSS v4",
"accessibility_target": "WCAG 2.1 AA",
"performance": {
"max_bundle_size": "15KB",
"max_render_time": "50ms"
}
}
}
}
}
// Agent request
const componentRequest = {
command: "generate-component",
design_source: "figma://designs/button-primary",
requirements: {
variants: ["default", "hover", "disabled", "loading"],
interactive_states: ["idle", "active", "error"],
breakpoints: ["mobile", "tablet", "desktop"],
a11y: {
aria_labels: true,
keyboard_nav: true,
screen_reader_ready: true
}
},
deliverables: {
react_component: true,
storybook: true,
unit_tests: true,
a11y_report: true
}
};
// Expected output artifacts
// ✓ Button.tsx (production-ready React component)
// ✓ Button.stories.tsx (Storybook documentation)
// ✓ Button.test.tsx (unit test suite)
// ✓ accessibility-audit.json (WCAG compliance details)
// ✓ visual-regression-snapshots/ (reference images)The Database Architect in Action
Optimizing a shared user table schema for a microservices ecosystem:
// Current schema (pre-optimization)
const schema = {
table: "users",
columns: [
{ name: "id", type: "UUID PRIMARY KEY" },
{ name: "email", type: "VARCHAR(255)" },
{ name: "created_at", type: "TIMESTAMP" },
{ name: "metadata", type: "JSONB" } // denormalized data
],
issues: [
"no indexes on email (slow lookups)",
"metadata bloat (unstructured)",
"sharding not prepared"
]
};
// Database Architect optimization request
const optimizationTask = {
command: "optimize-schema",
performance_goals: [
"query_latency: < 10ms (p99)",
"concurrent_connections: 10000+",
"storage_efficiency: reduce JSONB usage",
"scaling_readiness: shard-aware design"
],
constraints: {
allow_breaking_changes: false,
max_downtime: "0s (blue-green)"
}
};
// Agent output & rationale
// ✓ Normalized Schema
// users (core identity)
// user_profiles (extended attributes)
// user_sessions (session tracking)
//
// ✓ Indexing Strategy
// - idx_users_email (unique constraint)
// - idx_users_created_at (time-series queries)
// - idx_user_profiles_user_id (foreign key)
//
// ✓ Zero-Downtime Migration Script
// - Blue-green approach
// - Rollback procedure
// - Health checks
//
// ✓ Performance Benchmark Report
// BEFORE: SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ? → 150ms
// AFTER: SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ? → 5ms (30x speedup)Custom Agent Configuration Guide
AgentKit 2.0 supports project-specific agent customization beyond defaults.
