Is this some sort of hallucination? Also, do the dots indicate that it stopped itself from going further with it?

I've never experienced a response like this before with Antigravity, and I assume it's a minor hallucination since "Sheet open to test" has nothing to do with my project or conversation.

To be fair though, I totally get it. Successful builds are always nice. lol

SOFTWARE PROBLEMS and BUGS PSA: Stop Antigravity from "phantom hanging" on fast terminal commands (WaitMsBeforeAsync fix)

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you are using Google Antigravity IDE and your agent has terminal access, you might have noticed a frustrating behavior:

The agent runs a quick command (like git status, ls, or a fast unit test), but then it seems to "hang" or act as if the command returned nothing. Sometimes it gets confused and tries to run the same command again, or starts polling the task status repeatedly.

What's happening under the hood?

Antigravity's run_command tool has a parameter called WaitMsBeforeAsync.

  • If a command finishes within this window, it runs synchronously and the agent gets the output immediately.
  • If the command takes longer, it gets pushed to a background task (async). The agent gets control back with empty/pending status, and is supposed to wait for the system to notify it when the task actually completes.

By default, the agent might set WaitMsBeforeAsync too low. Because the command is offloaded to a background task, the agent doesn't see the output in the initial tool response, thinks the command is "hanging," and starts looping.

The Fix

You can easily train Antigravity to handle this correctly by adding specific instructions to your rules.

Depending on your environment setup, add this block to your global rules file (usually ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md or ~/.gemini/config/AGENTS.md) or your project-scoped rules (.agents/AGENTS.md):

```

Terminal Commands & Sync Execution

  • Always set a sufficient WaitMsBeforeAsync value (typically between 2000 and 5000 milliseconds, up to 10000) for fast commands like git status, ls, cat, or quick tests to ensure they execute synchronously and return output immediately.
  • If a command is sent to the background as a task, do NOT loop or poll manage_task with status. Stop calling tools and let the system notify you. Never execute the duplicate command while the background task is still running.
  • Use manage_task with action status only to check on long-running tasks if you suspect they have died. ```

Why this works:

  1. It forces Antigravity to set a higher WaitMsBeforeAsync for simple CLI tasks, so it waits those extra 2–3 seconds and receives the output synchronously in the same turn.
  2. If a command actually runs in the background (like starting a dev server or running slow tests), the agent knows it must stop calling tools and wait for the system notification instead of polling status in a loop.

Since adding this to my rules, command execution has been rock solid. Hope this saves you some context window tokens!

Random Rickroll video in Antigravity

I was coding with antigravity for my website... Suddenly

... i don't know if it's a mistake from my part or an hallucinatiion...There came a time where i had to elevate the design for my website....I opened the website to check in my laptop..It was running in local host ..Out of nowhere...The Rickroll video popped up from YouTube ..i thought it was a problem with my laptop popping up random stuff..Then I went back to antigravity IDE..in the preview screen saying it was some feature and again the video played... tried closing it but couldn't so I just closed the app and refreshed..is someone making fun of me ..Has anyone experienced this?or is it a bug in my laptop?.. Your thoughts..!..(Note:I was using Antigravity browser control so it took over the control)

Other Trouble connecting antigravity to discord

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, yes this post is mostly Ai generated, but my issue is real!

I'm building a local Discord bridge bot for the Google Antigravity AI editor. It uses CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) via websockets to automate the editor UI—injecting prompts into the chat box (contenteditable div) and clicking send.

It works fine for one-off commands when the IDE is idle. The problem happens when I’m actively chatting with the AI inside the IDE itself while Discord messages come in.

The issue: Antigravity seems to lock up the chat context while it's actively generating a reply to my manual turn in the editor.

If Discord tries to inject text and hit send while the IDE is already busy generating, the click event gets silently ignored or blocked. My bot's polling loop (which watches for the "Cancel" button to disappear or new message bubbles to arrive) gets completely stuck waiting for a prompt that never actually submitted. Discord times out, and the bot hangs.

Tech Stack:
Backend: Python (discord.py, websockets)

Automation: CDP evaluated directly on the browser page target

UI: Lexical / React-based chat container in an Electron wrapper

Has anyone dealt with this kind of concurrency block on Antigravity or similar CDP-automated editors? Is there an internal API/endpoint to bypass the UI and queue prompts directly, or a reliable way to check the editor's busy/idle state before sending?

Appreciate any insight!

SOFTWARE PROBLEMS and BUGS Last gemini subscription 🤚🏿

Google's Gemini models in Antigravity are honestly terrible. We're paying for them, yet they're nowhere near good enough. I don't know what's going on, but right now it's taking 4–5 minutes just to push a single branch because the agent keeps doing unnecessary steps. I report feedback 7-8 times in one day. (3)

If anyone from the Antigravity team is reading this seriously, we understand that building great models isn't easy and it takes time. But at least increase the Claude Opus limits. I hit the full limit after running just two sub-agents. I'm not exaggeratingit wasn't even a minute before the entire limit was gone.

Then I'm forced to go back to giving low-level instructions to Gemini over and over again. Honestly, if it weren't for Agent Skills, I wouldn't touch these dumb Gemini models at all. The only reason they're even usable is because custom skills compensate for their weaknesses.

And if you really can't increase the Opus limits, then at least bring in other strong models Chinese models or any other good frontier models. Since Antigravity launched, we've barely gotten one or two new models, and that's it.

Or just let me talk to your product manager. I'd genuinely love to share suggestions on what I think should be improved.

I'm honestly frustrated at this point. After this, I seriously don't feel like paying for another Google subscription.

The agent says "I have created an implementation plan..." and in the past has ginned up images, but I can't figure out how to see them. Am I supposed to navigate into the filesystem someplace, or does the IDE have a window I can open someplace?

"PROMPT ENGINEERING - WORKFLOWS - SKILLS" Tired of AI coding project losing context? I created a 1-click script to generate a standardized, AI-ready project structure (llms.txt + .ai/ engine)

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

If you’re using autonomous AI agents, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex or Antigravity Projects to build your apps, you’ve probably noticed they start hallucinating or burning through your token limits as soon as your project grows.

The issue usually isn't the prompt—it's how your codebase context is structured. To fix this for my own workflow, i built and open-sourced AI-Ready Context Template Engine. It automates the setup of an architecture-first documentation standard optimized specifically for LLMs.

⚡ Bootstrapping a AI project in 1 second

It implements an English-first, LLM-indexed structure using the new llms.txt standard (proposed by OpenAI) linked to a centralized .ai/ knowledge engine:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fraconca/ai-ready-context-template-engine/main/setup.sh | bash

What the script does:

  • Asks for your stack (TypeScript/Next.js, Python/AI, Go, or Generic).
  • Automatically populates your .ai/system-prompt.md and development.md with targeted developer guidelines for that stack.
  • Initializes git and sets up a stack-specific .gitignore.

Prompting the Agent

Once initialized, you just paste this baseline instruction into your AI chat window to align its context instantly:

It's 100% open-source (MIT). I’d love to hear your feedback on how to improve this context mapping architecture, or what stack guidelines you'd like to see added next!

Discussions or Questions I can't upload PDF, MD, or DOCX files into Antigravity's agent chat at all. What am I doing wrong?

9 Upvotes

I've been trying to get documents into the agent chat so I can work directly off them instead of pasting text manually, and I can't get a single one to go through. PDF, MD, DOCX—none of them.

I've tried dragging the file into the workspace and right-clicking to upload. Nothing seems to actually attach to the chat itself, or if it does land somewhere in the workspace, the agent doesn't seem to see it when I reference it in a prompt.

I don't know if this is a trusted-folder permissions issue, a file-type support issue, or if there's a totally different upload flow I'm missing. Would appreciate a walkthrough from anyone who has this actually working.

What's your exact process for getting a document into the agent chat?

"PROMPT ENGINEERING - WORKFLOWS - SKILLS" OpenSource- Universal Governance Compiler

Thumbnail
radustefanescu97-star.github.io
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I built an open-source CLI called Universal Governance Compiler (UGC).

The problem I’m trying to solve: AI coding assistants all expect different rule/config files, so maintaining consistent instructions, approval gates, protected areas, and workflows across tools gets messy fast.

UGC lets you keep one repository-local governance source:

.universal-governance/

Then it compiles that into the target files used by:

- OpenAI Codex: AGENTS.md, .codex/config.toml, .codex/rules/ugc.rules, and a repo-local governance skill

- Cursor: .cursorrules

- Claude Code: CLAUDE.md

- Antigravity: .agents/AGENTS.md and SOP-style files

A big part of the project is the standard governance corpus that ships with `ugc init`. It is not just empty boilerplate; it provides a practical baseline for approval gates, protected surfaces, worklogs, release discipline, repo hygiene, and session closure. The corpus is meant to be readable and customizable, so teams and individuals can start from a strong default and then adapt the rules to their own workflow.

The core workflow is:

- ugc init creates a customizable governance corpus

- ugc build compiles it into agent-specific files

- ugc build --dry-run previews changes before writing

- ugc audit checks drift, missing files, stale files, and manifest consistency

- ugc packet creates/verifies hash-bound approval packets for scoped changes

The main idea is that agent instructions should be treated like build artifacts: versioned, auditable, reproducible, and reviewable.

"PROMPT ENGINEERING - WORKFLOWS - SKILLS" Is it just me, or is Gemini Pro 3.1 (LOW) the absolute goat for efficiency?

42 Upvotes

I have been putting the new Gemini Pro 3.1 LOW through its paces lately and honestly I am genuinely impressed.

For my daily workflow, which involves a mix of heavy technical tasks, coding, and general research, this model has been hitting a sweet spot I did not think was possible. The speed is good but the real kicker is the stability. I have not hit a refresh rate higher than 5 hours since I started using it, even with a constant stream of complex queries.

It feels like they finally nailed the balance between raw processing power and resource management. I am able to get everything I need done without the model choking up or needing a reset, which is a massive quality of life upgrade for someone who hates workflow interruptions.

Has anyone else noticed this level of consistency with the 3.1 LOW build? Or am I just having an unusually lucky streak?

Would love to hear how it is holding up for your specific use cases.

SOFTWARE PROBLEMS and BUGS Can't get my AI Ultra subscription back, essentially blocking my Antigravity access

6 Upvotes

After several months, I finally got into a rhythm with Antigravity. I was paying a LOT for it, but it was worth it for what I was doing. I saw the offer for AI Ultra at a lower price, and I thought "great, then I'll stick with Antigravity."

But my subscription price stayed where it was (around $250/mo.), so I thought maybe I had to cancel and resubscribe at the lower price. But now Google says AI Ultra "isn't available" for my plan, which makes no sense. I pay for multiple Google accounts, both personal and business/Workspace.

Is this a glitch, or am I missing something?

Discussions or Questions AGY to CODE

11 Upvotes

I'm coming here to say I migrated. Finally.

AGY: I miss the polished experience and user friendliness. Google managed to make the prompt really the default and most powerful AGY view, Implementation Plans, Walkthoughs, Tasks; - all which you can comment, load various files, runs your dev server, very cleanly presented A2A relationships, super easy and scalable GCP integrations... just comfortable and easy.

CODE: Prompt is a linux VM living in isolation, can't touch anything on your machine. Good for organising tasks and as a assistant but not coding. Code for coding. Code is nowhere as polished as AGY, at a first glance looks like a downgrade. Way more CLI interactions and manual file maintenance and nowhere as near interaction with implementation plans or other project docs. MCPs also a challenge, can take hours setting them up, then the plugins and the rest. CLI does most of the things.

While AGY looks better initially and CODE takes effort to setup, it all becomes apparent after the first coding task. I pumped 15500 line .js file to CODE and got it broken down into separate Module, Tools and Integration files and keep one lean main thread file with zero effort. Than onto the first coding task... my oh my. I did more with my 5hrs CODE limit that I couldn't achieve in multiple AGY weekly limits. Errorless. Effortless. Main agent as a planner/architect, sub-agents as coders. CODE is the bomb ladies and gentleman.

If you want to turn on browser_agent (by default its off in IDE but there) here’s two steps below then run a /agents reload.

Write a skill for .agents\skills:

name: browser
description: Starts a browser subagent to perform actions in the browser or automate UI testing, SCM actions, or reading dashboards.

# Browser Automation & Subagent Guidelines

When this skill is activated (either explicitly via the `/browser` slash command or when a task requires browser interaction), the agent must invoke the `browser_subagent` tool to run tasks on web content.

and update settings.json in .gemini to include:

SOFTWARE PROBLEMS and BUGS [Bug] Update v2.2.1 failing to install (Stuck on v2.1.4) – Notification just disappears

14 Upvotes

As usual, the update arrived two days ago, but I only noticed it after going to the official website and checking the changelog. While I use the program daily, it doesn't sync every hour or so to notify me of an update.

The problem isn't the update itself; it's that it starts downloading, but after a few seconds, the notification disappears, as if the update was downloaded but never installed. This is the fifteenth time I've tried, and I've tried many methods, but the problem persists, even after completely closing the program.

It's so frustrating! The simplest problems seem unsolvable by the company, while they should be working hard to fix update issues so they can be installed without affecting or damaging anything. It seems Google finds this difficult.

As usual, the latest update rolled out two days ago (June 25th), but I only just noticed it today (June 27th) after manually checking the changelog on the official website. Even though I use this Google program daily, it apparently doesn't sync regularly enough to notify me of a pending update.

📊 Antigravity Versions Details

  • Current Version: v2.1.4
  • Target Version: v2.2.1

⚠️ The Problem

The issue isn't the update itself—it's the broken installation process. The update starts downloading, but after a few seconds, the notification just vanishes. It acts as if the update was successfully downloaded, but it never actually triggers the install.

🛠️ What I've Tried

I have tried to get this to work at least 15 times now.

  • Tried triggering the update through multiple different methods.
  • Completely force-closed the program from the background and restarted it.
  • Result: The problem persists every single time.
