Antigravity DevContainer: A Complete Setup Guide for Reproducible AI Development
An end-to-end guide to running Antigravity inside a DevContainer — Docker setup, Ollama integration, secrets, volume persistence, team distribution, and CI parity.
Localizing Antigravity 2.0 to Japanese — The Three-Layer Setup for Menus, Commands, and AI Responses
Installing the Japanese Language Pack in Antigravity 2.0 only translates part of the UI. To get a clean Japanese experience — menus, command palette, AI responses — you need to configure three independent layers. Here is the exact setup I run as an indie developer at Dolice, plus which parts I deliberately leave in English.
When Antigravity Reads Cloud-Synced Files as Empty: The Online-Only Placeholder Trap
A file is right there in Finder, yet the Antigravity agent insists it is empty or missing. The culprit is an online-only placeholder created by cloud sync. Here is how to spot it, hydrate the data, and design a workspace that avoids the problem.
Handing Off IDE Work to the Chat Agent: Passing Context Through a File After the Two-App Split
Since Antigravity 2.0 split into an IDE and a chat-style agent app, context you build up in one does not carry into the other. Here is a file-based approach that makes a single file in your repo the source of truth for handoff, with a schema, a validation script, and a way to pin it with a Guide skill.
Faster Substring Search Changes How You Should Let Agents Explore Code
The 6/26 update made substring search noticeably faster. Rather than treating it as a comfort improvement, here is how to redesign the way agents explore code, budget context, and verify their targets, with measurements from indie development.
The Built-in Guide Skill Is Only Advice — Pair It With a Gate That Mechanically Rejects Antigravity's Output
The v2.2.1 built-in Guide skill raises how often the agent complies, but it is still probabilistic advice. Here is the design for a deterministic gate that reliably stops the violations that slip through, with working code and measured results.
When Antigravity Skips Parts of a Long Attached PDF — and a Gate That Forces It to Cite Sources
How to handle the case where Antigravity answers confidently from a long attached PDF but quietly skips a clause. With working code: a prompt that forces citations, and a gate that verifies each cited quote actually exists in the PDF.
Turning Faster Substring Search into Solid Grounding for Agents in Large Repos
Antigravity's substring search got faster. Rather than stopping at perceived speed, here is how to wire it into a search design that hands agents exactly the right context in a huge codebase, with concrete steps and pitfalls.
The Day My Own Skill Stopped Firing — When the Built-in Guide Skill Collides With Yours
Since the built-in Guide skill arrived, custom skills started getting skipped or double-fired. Here is how to observe which skill is chosen, and how to settle the conflict through descriptions and naming.
What Tripped Me Up First When Antigravity 2.0 Split the IDE and the Agent Into Separate Apps
Antigravity 2.0's modular layout splits the IDE and the chat-style agent into two separate apps. Here is the moment their file states drifted apart on me, and the save discipline I now use to keep a single source of truth.
Splitting a Giant Antigravity Diff Into Meaningful Commits
Are you committing the agent's 400-line diffs as a single blob? Here is a practical workflow, with scripts, for re-splitting an unreviewable bulk commit into one concern per commit.
Precedence for Nested AGENTS.md: A Merge Design for Many Projects in One Workspace
Put several projects in one workspace, each with its own AGENTS.md, and which instruction the agent follows turns ambiguous. Root and per-project rules quietly collide; one wins, or both blend. Taking 'closer is stronger' as the base rule, this designs a merge that distinguishes overriding from appending, with working Python and field notes.
