I Counted My Rules Against the 20,000-Token Budget in Antigravity 2.17.0 Before Upgrading
Antigravity 2.17.0 gives rules their own 20,000-token budget. My six operating rule files came to 28,613 tokens, so the two largest would be demoted to pointers. Here is a small script to count yours first, and how I chose what to demote myself.
What @ Includes Actually Shrink When You Split Agent Rule Files
I split my rule files using Antigravity 2.11.0's @path/to/file includes and measured the before and after across four real repositories. Maintenance surface dropped 62 percent. What a session actually reads dropped 1.7 percent. Here is why, plus the code that catches the silent failure mode.
Your UI Is in Japanese. Your Commit Log Isn't.
Setting your editor's display language does nothing for the language your agents write into the repository. Here is what six weeks of unattended runs actually produced, how to pin output language per audience, and a gate that catches the drift mechanically.
The More I Wrote in AGENTS.md, the Less Got Followed — Measuring Adherence and Cutting Rules
The rules in my AGENTS.md were being ignored — not from precedence conflicts or load failures, just plain ignored. Here is how I turned rules into checkable predicates, measured adherence over three weeks, and cut the file in half.
I Only Want to See the Lines the Agent Added: A Changed-Lines Convention Linter
I asked an agent for a small fix, it touched an old file, and the linter threw 13 warnings with no way to tell which were the agent's. Scoping the linter to only the added lines dropped 13 to 3 — about 77% less noise. Here is how to pull added lines out of a diff and check only those, with working code.
Turning a throwaway prompt into a reusable sub-agent
When a one-off prompt to an Antigravity 2.0 dynamic sub-agent works beautifully, it usually vanishes into your chat history. Here is how to capture it as a reusable definition, with the actual file layout and the distillation steps.
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.
Keeping Agent Behavior Consistent Across Separate Repositories: Notes on Multi-Repo Governance
How to keep Antigravity agents behaving consistently across several independent repositories when a monorepo isn't an option. A layered governance design with a working distribution script and drift audit, drawn from running four sites in parallel.
A Month with Antigravity Inspector — Reading the Agent's Real Behavior
Notes from a month of seriously using Antigravity's Inspector while maintaining four wallpaper apps. The reading order I settled on, the panels I actually look at, and the pitfalls that quietly mislead you.
When Antigravity Ignores Your AGENTS.md — How to Diagnose and Fix It
You dropped an AGENTS.md at the repo root with clear rules, but the agent still pulls in banned libraries and blows past your conventions. Here is how I diagnose and fix the three most common causes I have seen across more than a hundred Antigravity sessions.
Resolving AGENTS.md Precedence Conflicts in Antigravity Monorepos
When you place AGENTS.md in both the repo root and a subfolder, Antigravity merges them — but the agent often follows the wrong one. Here is how the precedence actually works, with concrete patterns to remove the conflict.
Antigravity Meets UE5 Blueprints — Why AI Can't Read .uasset and How I Settled on a Workflow That Works
Antigravity cannot read UE5's binary Blueprint files directly. Here's the hybrid C++ / Python / Blueprint workflow I landed on after building two indie prototypes, plus the patterns I had to abandon.
