Capping Parallel Agents With a Token Budget — Designing a Guard That Stops Runaway Cost
Running many agents in parallel quietly inflates your token bill. This is not about shrinking prompts — it is about a governance layer that meters spend in real time and cuts it off at a budget. Full design and TypeScript implementation, drawn from my own overnight jobs.
Designing Antigravity Retry for Production — Idempotency, Backoff, Cost Ceilings, and Failure Triage
A production blueprint for Antigravity agent retry: idempotency, exponential backoff, token-budget ceilings, failure triage, and resumable checkpoints.
Using the v2.1.4 Quota Screen for a Weekly Reckoning: Reading Used and Remaining to Run an Indie Budget
How to turn the used/remaining display in the reworked Antigravity v2.1.4 quota screen into a weekly reckoning instead of a gut feeling. Baseline recording, burn-rate math, and allocation across multiple projects, written as an indie-dev operating routine.
