Quickstart

After installing SuperAntigravity, your Antigravity IDE has access to the full workflow pipeline. Here’s how to use it to build a feature from scratch.
Skills fire automatically — you don’t need to invoke them. Just use the slash commands and the right skills load based on your context.

The 5-stage workflow

1

Brainstorm the feature

Type /brainstorm followed by a brief description of what you want to build.
/brainstorm add user authentication with email and password
Switch to Planning Mode in Antigravity conversation settings before starting.Antigravity will ask you 4–5 clarifying questions, then propose 2–3 design approaches. Review the options and approve one. A design document is saved to docs/plans/.
Don’t skip this step. If you type “just build it,” SuperAntigravity will refuse and explain why the design phase saves time.
2

Write the implementation plan

Once the design is approved, type:
/plan
Antigravity reads the design document and breaks it into bite-sized tasks — each with a specific file path, failing test to write, and expected outcome. The plan is saved to docs/plans/.Stay in Planning Mode for this step.
3

Implement the feature

Switch to Fast Mode, then type:
/implement
Antigravity works through the plan task by task:
  • Runs a confidence check before each task (score must reach 27/30 to proceed)
  • Writes a failing test first (RED phase)
  • Writes minimal code to make it pass (GREEN phase)
  • Commits after every GREEN test
  • Requests a code review after each task
If a test fails unexpectedly, the systematic-debugging skill loads automatically.
4

Review the implementation

When all tasks are complete, type:
/review
The code-reviewer agent checks the implementation against the plan across 6 areas: plan alignment, code quality, architecture, documentation, issue identification, and communication.You’ll receive one of three verdicts:
  • APPROVED — ready to ship
  • APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS — ship, then address suggestions
  • CHANGES REQUIRED — fix before shipping
5

Commit and push

Once approved, type:
/git
Antigravity runs a final verification check, formats commit messages following Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, test:), and handles the push or PR creation.

Conversation modes

Using the right mode for each phase makes a significant difference in response quality.
ModeUse forCommands
Planning ModeDesign, research, analysis, debugging/brainstorm, /plan, /research, /troubleshoot
Fast ModeImplementation, testing, execution/implement, /test, /build
Switch modes in the conversation settings panel in Antigravity.
If you’re in the wrong mode, SuperAntigravity will prompt you: “I am starting a Planning phase. Please switch to Planning Mode in the conversation settings for optimal performance.”

Skills fire automatically

You don’t need to load skills manually. When your context matches a skill’s trigger description, Antigravity loads it automatically. For example:
  • Starting a new feature → brainstorming skill loads
  • A test fails → systematic-debugging skill loads
  • About to mark something done → verification-before-completion skill loads
  • Code touches authentication → security-review skill loads
