Antigravity for Claude Code

Skill by ara.so — Claude Code Skills collection.

Overview

Antigravity for Claude Code is a plugin that enables intelligent model routing across the SDLC by delegating bulk work to the Antigravity CLI (agy/Gemini) while keeping Claude as the conductor for judgment, architecture, and verification.

Core principle: Claude owns requirements, architecture, and verification; Gemini/agy handles scaffolding, implementation, test generation, and bulk operations at lower cost.

Measured savings: −27% to −64% cost reduction on large tasks while maintaining equal quality through cross-model verification.

Installation

# In Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add yuting0624/antigravity-for-claude-code
/plugin install antigravity@antigravity-for-claude-code
/antigravity:setup

Prerequisites:

  • Antigravity CLI installed and authenticated
  • Claude Code running
  • Verify setup: agy models should list available models

Platform support: macOS, Linux, WSL (recommended). Native Windows has known issues with headless mode.

Tier Configuration

Tier Model Use Case
flash (default) Gemini 3.5 Flash (High) Most bulk work
flash-lo Gemini 3.5 Flash (Low) Trivial tasks, cheapest option
pro Gemini 3.1 Pro (High) Complex reasoning, cross-checks

Configure tiers via plugin options:

  • default_model: Override default model
  • tier_flash: Custom model for flash tier
  • tier_flash_lo: Custom model for flash-lo tier
  • tier_pro: Custom model for pro tier

Or use environment variables:

export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_tier_pro="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"

Delegation Patterns

Pattern 1: Bulk Implementation

# Claude: Design the architecture and write the spec
# Then delegate implementation to agy
/antigravity:delegate --tier flash --dir ./src Implement the UserService class according to DESIGN.md. Include error handling and logging.

# Claude: Review the generated code and verify correctness

Pattern 2: Test Generation

# Generate comprehensive tests for existing code
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --tier flash --dir ./src "Generate unit tests for all functions in auth.ts. Use Jest. Cover edge cases and error paths."

Pattern 3: Cross-Model Review

# After making changes, get independent verification
/antigravity:review

# For more critical code, use adversarial mode
/antigravity:review --adversarial

Pattern 4: Research with Citation Verification

# Claude orchestrates, agy does web search, Claude verifies
/antigravity:research "Best practices for handling webhook retries in distributed systems"

# Result includes verified citations from ≥2 sources

Pattern 5: Bulk Refactoring

# Delegate large-scale mechanical changes
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --mode accept-edits --dir ./app "Migrate all class components to functional components with hooks. Preserve all functionality."

# Verify changes in git diff before committing

Cost Discipline Best Practices

The plugin's cost savings come from following these patterns:

1. Delegate Above Break-Even

# GOOD: Bulk, parallel, or repetitive work
/antigravity:delegate Generate integration tests for all API endpoints

# BAD: Tiny tasks (overhead > savings)
/antigravity:delegate Fix this typo in line 42

2. Use Digests for Bulk Reads

# GOOD: Digest-only output collapses cache_read cost
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --digest --dir ./src "Analyze all database queries and summarize optimization opportunities"

# BAD: Full output causes cache_read bloat
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --dir ./src "List every database query with full context"

The wrapper warns when replies exceed digest_warn_chars (default 8000).

3. Batch Operations

# GOOD: One large delegation
/antigravity:delegate --dir ./src Analyze all components, identify performance issues, generate optimization recommendations with code examples

# BAD: Multiple round-trips
/antigravity:delegate List all components
/antigravity:delegate Analyze each component for performance
/antigravity:delegate Generate recommendations

4. Review Diffs, Not Full Files

# GOOD: Review only what changed
/antigravity:review

# BAD: Re-reading entire codebase
/antigravity:delegate Review all files in ./src for bugs

Measure Session Cost

# Analyze cost breakdown for a Claude Code session
scripts/measure-session.py <session-id>

# Compare cost for a specific task
scripts/agy-cost-compare.sh "Generate test suite for user module"

Configuration

Plugin options (set in .claude-plugin/claude.json or via /plugin options):

{
  "default_tier": "flash",
  "default_model": "",
  "tier_flash": "",
  "tier_flash_lo": "",
  "tier_pro": "",
  "timeout_seconds": 120,
  "job_timeout_seconds": 600,
  "digest_warn_chars": 8000,
  "coding_policy": "default",
  "delegation_nudge": true,
  "auto_inject_policy": true
}

Key options:

  • timeout_seconds: Sync delegation timeout (default 120)
  • job_timeout_seconds: Background job timeout (default 600)
  • digest_warn_chars: Warn when replies exceed this size
  • delegation_nudge: Proactive suggestions for bulk work
  • auto_inject_policy: Auto-inject cost-aware routing policy

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Migration Task

# Context: Migrating from REST to GraphQL
/antigravity:delegate --tier pro --dir ./api Review all REST endpoints in routes/ and generate equivalent GraphQL schema definitions with resolvers. Include type definitions and input validation.

# agy generates schema.graphql + resolvers
# Claude reviews for correctness and API contract preservation

Example 2: Documentation Generation

# Generate comprehensive API docs
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --tier flash --dir ./src "Generate API documentation for all exported functions. Include parameter descriptions, return types, examples, and edge cases."

# Output: Markdown docs ready for review

Example 3: Cloud Run Debugging

# Service returning 500s in production
/antigravity:cloud-run-debug --service my-api --region us-central1 --since 2h

# agy: Fetches logs, identifies root cause
# Claude: Verifies diagnosis, suggests fix
# --apply flag: Applies fix to new branch

Example 4: Security Audit

# Cross-model security review
/antigravity:review --adversarial

# Independent Gemini analysis + Claude verification
# Catches issues single-model review might miss

Example 5: Background Long-Running Task

# Start long task without blocking
ID=$(scripts/agy-job.sh start --tier pro --dir . "Analyze all dependencies, identify outdated packages, security vulnerabilities, and breaking changes in upgrades. Generate migration plan.")

# Continue other work...

# Check status
/antigravity:status $ID

# Retrieve result when ready
/antigravity:result $ID

Write Operations

For tasks that modify files:

# Preferred: accept-edits mode (agy >= 1.1.0)
# File edits only, no terminal/tool access
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --mode accept-edits --dir ./app "Refactor authentication to use OAuth2"

# When tools needed: --yolo grants full access
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --yolo --dir ./app "Search docs and implement feature X"

# ALWAYS run write tasks on a dedicated branch
git checkout -b agy-refactor
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --mode accept-edits --dir . "Task description"
git diff # Review changes
git commit -m "Applied agy refactor"

Guardrails for writes:

  • Run on dedicated branch/worktree
  • Verify files actually changed (agy may write to scratch dir if permissions missing)
  • Review diff before merging
  • Long write tasks → use background jobs (avoid sync timeout)

Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

# Verify agy authenticated
agy models

# Should list available models
# If not, re-authenticate:
agy auth login

Timeout Issues

# Increase timeout for long tasks
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_timeout_seconds=300

# Or use background jobs
scripts/agy-job.sh start --tier pro --dir . "long task"

WSL Performance

# SLOW: Repo on Windows mount
cd /mnt/c/Users/user/project

# FAST: Repo on WSL filesystem
cd ~/project

The wrapper warns about Windows mount performance issues.

Write Tasks Not Applying

Check:

  1. File permissions: agy needs write access
  2. agy version: --mode accept-edits requires >= 1.1.0
  3. Verify files changed: git status
  4. Review agy log: ~/.config/agy/logs/*.log

See docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md for detailed diagnostics.

Windows Native (Git Bash/MSYS)

Known issue: agy -p can hang without ConPTY. Solutions:

  1. Use WSL (recommended)
  2. Ensure timeout/gtimeout on PATH for hang guard
  3. Wrapper returns TIMEOUT (exit 12) instead of hanging

Integration with Claude Code Workflow

Proactive Delegation

With delegation_nudge enabled, Claude receives hints for bulk-appropriate tasks:

User: "Generate tests for all components"
Claude: [recognizes bulk pattern] → suggests /antigravity:delegate

Session Policy Auto-Injection

SessionStart hook automatically injects cost-aware routing policy when auto_inject_policy: true:

# Automatically available in context:
- Delegate bulk/parallel/repetitive work to agy
- Keep Claude for judgment, architecture, verification
- Use digests for large reads
- Batch operations when possible

Subagent File Writing

The antigravity-delegate subagent handles file writes on Gemini side:

  • Claude designs what to write
  • Subagent executes on Gemini
  • Claude verifies result
  • Zero tokens spent on file content generation

Advanced Patterns

Multi-Stage Pipeline

# Stage 1: Research (agy)
RESEARCH_ID=$(scripts/agy-job.sh start --tier pro --yolo "Research best practices for rate limiting in Node.js APIs")

# Stage 2: Design (Claude)
# ... review research results, design architecture ...

# Stage 3: Implementation (agy)
/antigravity:delegate --tier flash --dir ./src Implement rate limiting middleware per DESIGN.md

# Stage 4: Review (cross-model)
/antigravity:review

# Stage 5: Test generation (agy)
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --tier flash --dir ./src "Generate rate limiter tests covering edge cases"

Fan-Out Pattern

# One delegation spawns internal subagents
scripts/agy-delegate.sh --tier pro --dir . "Audit entire codebase: security, performance, maintainability. Use separate subagents for each concern."

# agy spawns subagents via define_subagent
# Each leaves readable trajectory
# Audit with: agy-trace

Cost Measurement Loop

# Before optimization
BEFORE=$(scripts/measure-session.py session-1 | grep "COST-WEIGHTED" | awk '{print $2}')

# Apply delegation strategy
/antigravity:delegate [task]

# After optimization
AFTER=$(scripts/measure-session.py session-2 | grep "COST-WEIGHTED" | awk '{print $2}')

# Compare
echo "Savings: $((BEFORE - AFTER)) tokens"

Environment Variables

# Plugin options via env vars
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_default_tier="pro"
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_timeout_seconds=180
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_delegation_nudge=false

# Custom model per tier
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_tier_flash="gemini-3.5-flash-002"
export CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_tier_pro="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"

# Pricing (for cost measurement)
# Edit prices.json for accurate cost estimation

Key Concepts

Conductor vs Executor: Claude conducts (judges, designs, verifies), Gemini executes (implements, searches, generates).

Break-Even Point: Delegation overhead vs savings. Bulk work above ~500 tokens is typically worth delegating.

Digest Contract: --digest appends instruction to return summary not dump. Biggest cost lever.

Cross-Model Verification: Different model provides independent check. Catches issues single model misses.

Background Jobs: Fire-and-collect pattern for interactive sessions. Use sync delegation in one-shot claude -p.

Cost Discipline: Not automatic—requires following patterns (delegate above break-even, use digests, batch operations, review diffs).
