Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Got questions? You're not alone! Here are answers to the most common questions about Antigravity Awesome Skills.

General Questions

What are "skills" exactly?

Skills are specialized instruction files that teach AI assistants how to handle specific tasks. Think of them as expert knowledge modules that your AI can load on-demand. Simple analogy: Just like you might consult different experts (a lawyer, a doctor, a mechanic), these skills let your AI become an expert in different areas when you need them.

Do I need to install every skill?

No! When you clone the repository, all skills are available, but your AI only loads them when you explicitly invoke them with @skill-name. It's like having a library - all books are there, but you only read the ones you need. Pro Tip: Use Starter Packs to focus on the skills that match your role first.

What is the difference between Bundles and Workflows?

  • Bundles are curated recommendations grouped by role or domain.
  • Workflows are ordered execution playbooks for concrete outcomes.

Use bundles when you are deciding which skills to include. Use workflows when you need step-by-step execution.

Start from:

Which AI tools work with these skills?

  • ✅ Claude Code (Anthropic CLI)
  • ✅ Gemini CLI (Google)
  • ✅ Codex CLI (OpenAI)
  • ✅ Cursor (AI IDE)
  • ✅ Antigravity IDE
  • ✅ OpenCode
  • ⚠️ GitHub Copilot (partial support via copy-paste)

Are these skills free to use?

Yes! This repository is licensed under MIT License.

  • ✅ Free for personal use
  • ✅ Free for commercial use
  • ✅ You can modify them

How do these skills avoid overflowing the model context?

Some host tools (for example custom agents built on Jetski/Cortex + Gemini) might be tempted to concatenate every SKILL.md file into a single system prompt.
This is not how this repository is designed to be used, and it will almost certainly overflow the model’s context window if you concatenate the whole repository into one prompt.

Instead, hosts should:

  • use data/skills_index.json as a lightweight manifest for discovery; and
  • load individual SKILL.md files only when a skill is invoked (e.g. via @skill-id in the conversation).

For a concrete example (including pseudo‑code) see:

Do skills work offline?

The skill files themselves are stored locally on your computer, but your AI assistant needs an internet connection to function.

Security & Trust

What do the Risk Labels mean?

We classify skills so you know what you're running:

  • ⚪ Safe (White/Blue): Read-only, planning, or benign skills.
  • 🔴 Risk (Red): Skills that modify files (delete), use network scanners, or perform destructive actions. Use with caution.
  • 🟣 Official (Purple): Maintained by trusted vendors (Anthropic, DeepMind, etc.).

Can these skills hack my computer?

No. Skills are text files. However, they instruct the AI to run commands. If a skill says "delete all files", a compliant AI might try to do it. Always check the Risk label and review the code.

Installation & Setup

Where should I install the skills?

The universal path that works with most tools is .agent/skills/.

Using npx: npx antigravity-awesome-skills (or npx github:sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills if you get a 404).

Using git clone:

git clone https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git .agent/skills

Tool-specific paths:

  • Claude Code: .claude/skills/
  • Gemini CLI: .gemini/skills/
  • Codex CLI: .codex/skills/
  • Cursor: .cursor/skills/ or project root

Claude Code plugin marketplace alternative:

/plugin marketplace add sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills
/plugin install antigravity-awesome-skills

This repository now includes .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and .claude-plugin/plugin.json so Claude Code can install the same skill tree through the plugin marketplace.

Does this work with Windows?

Yes. Use the standard install flow:

git clone https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills.git .agent/skills

If you have an older clone created around the removed symlink workaround, reinstall into a fresh directory or rerun npx antigravity-awesome-skills.

I hit a truncation or context crash loop on Windows. How do I recover?

If Antigravity or a Jetski/Cortex-based host keeps reopening into:

TrajectoryChatConverter: could not convert a single message before hitting truncation

use the dedicated Windows recovery guide:

It includes:

  • the manual cleanup steps for broken Local Storage / Session Storage / IndexedDB state
  • the default Antigravity Windows paths to back up first
  • an optional batch script adapted from issue #274

How do I update skills?

Navigate to your skills directory and pull the latest changes:

cd .agent/skills
git pull origin main

Using Skills

💡 For a complete guide with examples, see usage.md

How do I invoke a skill?

Use the @ symbol followed by the skill name:

@brainstorming help me design a todo app

Can I use multiple skills at once?

Yes! You can invoke multiple skills:

@brainstorming help me design this, then use @writing-plans to create a task list.

How do I know which skill to use?

  1. Browse the catalog: Check the Skill Catalog.
  2. Search: ls skills/ | grep "keyword"
  3. Ask your AI: "What skills do you have for testing?"

Troubleshooting

My AI assistant doesn't recognize skills

Possible causes:

  1. Wrong installation path: Check your tool's docs. Try .agent/skills/.
  2. Restart Needed: Restart your AI/IDE after installing.
  3. Typos: Did you type @brain-storming instead of @brainstorming?

A skill gives incorrect or outdated advice

Please Open an issue! Include:

  • Which skill
  • What went wrong
  • What should happen instead

Contribution

I'm new to open source. Can I contribute?

Absolutely! We welcome beginners.

  • Fix typos
  • Add examples
  • Improve docs Check out CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions.

My PR failed "Quality Bar" check. Why?

The repository enforces automated quality control. Your skill might be missing:

  1. A valid description.
  2. Usage examples. Run npm run validate locally to check before you push.

Can I update an "Official" skill?

No. Official skills (in skills/official/) are mirrored from vendors. Open an issue instead.

Pro Tips

  • Start with @brainstorming before building anything new
  • Use @systematic-debugging when stuck on bugs
  • Try @test-driven-development for better code quality
  • Explore @skill-creator to make your own skills
