OverviewVersion HistoryQ & ARating & Review<br>Antigravity for Visual Studio Code

Bring Google's agent-first development platform to Visual Studio Code.

Antigravity pairs Google's latest Gemini models with the Shared Agent Harness to<br>work as an active, context-aware development partner inside your editor. Rather<br>than a passive chat window, Antigravity plans and executes multi-step work: it<br>spins up specialized, sandboxed subagents, runs terminal tests, connects to<br>databases through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and carries out complex<br>refactorings end to end, all under your supervision.

Key features

Autonomous agent orchestration: Delegate complex engineering tasks to a<br>hierarchy of specialized subagents that run in secure, ephemeral sandboxes.

Implementation plans: Ask Antigravity to generate a plan before it makes<br>multi-file changes, so you can review the approach before any code is written.

Agent Manager: Manage and monitor your agents and subagents, and review<br>their artifacts before changes land.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration: Connect external databases and<br>third-party tools by configuring MCP servers, including curated Build with<br>Google bundles.

Enterprise-grade security: When you sign in with your business account,<br>your data is protected under Google Cloud Terms of Service: it is not used to<br>train foundation models, and you can run within your Google Cloud VPC Service<br>Controls (VPC-SC) perimeter.

Highlights

1. Agent orchestration and the Shared Agent Harness

Antigravity coordinates background work in private, secure environments, so it<br>does not crowd your editor or fill your prompt context.

Dynamic parent-child subagents: For complex projects, the parent agent<br>uses the invoke_subagent tool to spawn child agents. Each child agent starts<br>with a clean, isolated context window for higher accuracy and lower token use.

Flexible workspace modes: Choose how subagents work with your code:

inherit: Work directly in the parent's current folder.

branch: Spin up a dedicated, isolated Git worktree.

share: Run multiple subagents in a synchronized shared directory for<br>collaborative work.

Context-lean handoffs: Child agents complete their work, return a<br>structured summary to the parent, and then stop. The parent's context stays<br>small and focused.

Specialized subagents out of the box:

research: Crawls large repositories, indexes dependencies, and diagrams<br>architecture.

browser: Launches an interactive, headless Chrome instance (with<br>/browser) to run web integration tests and verify UI changes.

self: Clones the parent agent to parallelize search or code generation.

Custom subagents: Define your own workflows with Markdown files and YAML<br>frontmatter.

2. In your IDE

Antigravity works with the context already open in your editor.

IDE context awareness: The agent understands the files you have open, your<br>current selection, and your workspace, so its changes fit your project.

Inline diffs: Antigravity shows proposed changes as inline diffs in the<br>editor, so you can review each change and accept or reject it before it is<br>applied.

Theme sync: The extension matches your active VS Code color theme.

Sidebar chat and shortcuts: Chat with the agent in a sidebar panel; toggle<br>it with Cmd+L / Ctrl+L, and start a new conversation with Cmd+Shift+L /<br>Ctrl+Shift+L.

Granular diff controls: Accept or reject changes one hunk at a time<br>(Alt+Enter to accept), or use Accept All / Reject All to resolve a whole<br>file.

Interactive plans: The agent's plans and reports open in an artifact<br>viewer with checklists you can act on and file links you can click.

3. The Agent Manager

Step back from individual lines of code to manage entire engineering workflows<br>in the Agent Manager.

Evidence-based artifacts: Verify the agent's work through auditable<br>deliverables:

Task lists: Live progress checklists of completed steps.

Implementation plans: Markdown blueprints of the proposed architecture.

Browser recordings: Screenshots and recordings that show sandboxed UI tests<br>passing.

Terminal command auto-execution (Agent Settings): Control how the agent<br>runs shell commands:

Request Review: The agent never auto-executes commands, except those on your<br>Allow list.

Always Proceed: The agent runs commands automatically, except those on your<br>Deny list.

Non-workspace file access: By default the agent only accesses your project<br>folders; allow access outside the workspace only when needed.
