Turning Gut-Feeling Judgments into Rules an Agent Can Actually Follow
A small, repeatable way to turn the judgment calls that live only in your head into written rules an Antigravity agent can apply, with a quick check against past cases.
After Dropbox Moved Under CloudStorage, Check That Your node_modules Exclusion Still Works
Dropbox's help page gives different ignore commands for the macOS File Provider build. Before handing dependency installs to an agent, here is how to check that your exclusion works: a dry-run-first shell script, and what I observed when running npm ci against a flagged directory.
Workflows Retire in 20 Days — What to Decide Before You Run /migrate-workflows
Workflows retire on November 1, 2026. Before you run the migration command, sort what to keep, merge, or set aside — and rewrite the one thing the command can't carry over: your descriptions.
Fold Your Request into Five Lines Before You Paste the Long Notes
Pasting meeting notes straight into an agent gives you blurry results. Here is a five-line shape — goal, material, scope, finished form, check — and a small script that confirms all five lines are filled in.
Undo That Rewinds Only the Conversation, and Messaging a Subagent Directly: Three Moments I Hesitated
Antigravity 2.19.1 adds undo for the conversation only, and direct messages to a subagent. Here is what the changelog says, where I draw my own lines, and how to check both safely.
Three Safety Nets to Test with a Fake agy Before Running the Antigravity CLI in a Container
Before you call the Antigravity CLI (agy) from Docker or a Cloud Run job, reproduce three failure modes with a fake agy: an installer that returns gzip, a hang on tool approval, and an exit code of 0 with nothing produced. Everything here rests on official docs and on code I ran myself.
A report of a cache cleanup that wiped a drive: why I now route every delete through a checkpoint
After reading about a cache cleanup request that ended with a developer's drive contents gone, I reopened my own cleanup script. Here is a small Python checkpoint that narrows how far a delete can reach, plus where I draw the line on what to hand to an agent without approval.
Start Your Antigravity Deny List From Your Own Shell History
Before you let an agent drive your terminal, decide the first commands for the Deny list by counting your own shell history. A short script, a three-box sorting table, and a throwaway-repo test to confirm the rules actually bite.
You Don't Need to Read Commands: Three Places to Check When an Agent Works
If strings of terminal text make the approve button feel risky, here is a way to check just three things: a way back before you start, the first word of a command, and the diff afterward.
Purging Cloudflare Didn't Bring Back the New Wallpapers: the Stale JPEGs Were Held by XPageSpeed on the Origin
An operations record from a wallpaper app: images overwritten at the same URL kept arriving stale even after a Cloudflare purge. Covers the three-way local/origin/edge probe that names the guilty layer, when prefix purge beats per-URL purge, and how to switch off Xserver's XPageSpeed in .htaccess without a 500.
Don't Leave Your Chat Records to the Export Button — Three Routes for the Night It Does Nothing
Three ways to keep a record of your Antigravity conversations when the Export button does nothing at all: how to tell a broken button from a silent success, how to locate the conversation file in your own environment by modification time, and how to decide what to keep before the session ends.
antigravity-preview-05-2026 shuts down October 5: which setups need more than a string swap
The shutdown date for antigravity-preview-05-2026 is set for October 5, and the official page gives you the date and the successor name, nothing more. If you only read output_text, swapping the string is the whole migration. If you read steps, it is not.
